Keith and I were walking the paths together and we didn't go all the way up the mountain; it was getting late in the afternoon, and a group of us wanted to go into downtown Kyoto for dinner.
The next opportunity I have to visit Kyoto, I will plan for the time to see everything here.
Waiting on the platform to catch our train into the city, we checked the map for what sounded like a happening scene; we picked the Gion district, famous as Kyoto's "geisha" area. Our mission was simple: find a killer sushi restaurant and have one insane meal, cost be damned.
We wandered around for a bit, passing some interesting buildings...
This one looks like it might have a story to tell...
Here's a backlit shot of the Gion district's badass geisha statue. |
