Historic Kyoto

by ChuckG - last update: Jul 17, 2003

Walk in the history of Kyoto

East Gion
Kyoto was founded in 794. It was modeled on a Tang Chinese city and is bordered on 3 sides by mountains.

The best walks I had during my stay in Japan were in the tiny streets of Kyoto. Although I got lost a few times by trying streets that were narrower and narrower, I still made it home at the end of the day !
Yasaka Shrine Cat

Spiritual Kyoto

I saw so many things during my day-long walk through the city. This one must have been "a sign". The cat looked like it belonged there...

Mystical Kyoto

Follow the lines... I couldn't resist but do like everyone and look at my hand trying to read into my future....

 Takashimaya and Daimaru were my favorite stomping grounds back in 'da hood! Is it even possible to *squeeze* in a quick visit to the ol' "Okiya" in just 4 days????
