The blending of buildings and nature is superb. I really like how the Japanese Gardens are presented. Would love to have visited these places again in late autumn, when the leaves are falling and a sea of red... |

Great pictures of a great place and culture. The Japanese have heritage they should be proud of and strive to keep! Did you have the courage and had fugu?

Absolutely stunning pics! I've been to most of those castles when I stayed in Osaka for a couple of months many many years ago. That Nijo castle, is that the one where the Tokugawa Shogun lived?

Great pics.. I did a whirlwind tour through Japan a few years ago - visited the same places in Kyoto, after a stay in Shinjuku.
Kyoto is one of the most interesting places I've ever been. Beautiful place. I just felt very much at peace walking the small narrow streets by the river. Kiyomizu-dera was one of my favorite spots there. Amazing view, especially the graveyard below at night. I plan to return someday soon. Thanks for sharing the pics. |

Kyoto is wonderful. I know exactly where the photos of the Golden Pavilion were taken as we were standing in the same spot.
