    Sporting enthusists will be happy to know that Japan is big on sports. Some of my favorite Japanese sporting events would have to be Sumo wrestling which can been seen in Osaka or Tokyo during certain limited times during the year. I believe September is a big month for sumo. Baseball also draws large crowds and most major Japanese cities have a team. Check the season schedule. The photo I've included in this tip has nothing to do with any of the sproting events I've mentioned but it does show what I'd consider to be a Japanese athlete. These rickshaw drivers are amazingly strong and were capable of pulling sveral passengers up a steep hill near Ginkaku-ji temple in Kyoto.

     Hi, I like your first photo. The lady really looks happy (and a little shy) being photographed. Hope you had a good time in Kyoto.    		DrowElfMorwen Sat May 5, 2007 01:56 UTC
     Just thought you'd want to know the picture you have labeled "Girls in traditional kimono" are two maiko! You can tell by their hairstyles.
