Visually, Kyoto feels like it’s full of nooks and crannies filled with random odd things. Like a half-visible car with some excess space on the left which could have been used to park this half-car anyway.

Summer wasn’t exactly the most enjoyable time to be walking around “zen” gardens with very little shade and vast open spaces. However, it was easy to grab a photo with no tourists loitering in your view because everyone stayed out of the heat.

They say first impression is important. And when I got off the airport express train at Kyoto, I noted that the ventilation was designed to look interesting (coincidence?) and that it was extremely clean. I’m pleased to report that the first impression held on throughout the entire stay in Kyoto.
