I’m back from my Onsen (hot spring) & sightseeing trip from west Japan (Kyoto, Osaka & Wakayama) the other day and here I am again! I’ve got some nice photos that I took in Kyoto and in Onsen when nobody but I was out there, and I’d be willing to share them with my blog readers here. I think I should make use of my Flickr account and update it with latest nice photos, too.

To be honest, I know I tend to have new things and dislike olds. In that way, Kyoto, a good old historical city, was far from my interest to me until this time. Then you’d think why. I was supposed to go pick up my grandma in Osaka and take her to Wakayama Onsen spot with my dad. I could buy a bullet train ticket only, however, sometimes hotel can be booked so reasonably with a set of train ticket. So I decided to have another night at Kyoto before I head for Osaka.

I’ve been grown up in Tokyo area, not exactly in Tokyo but 30 – 60 minutes is good enough to allow me to get somewhere in Tokyo, and so, the Kyoto scenery even touched my feelings and that strongly reminds me of being a Japanese. I’d never have such thoughts in my ordinary, busy, realistic and digital life in/around Tokyo.

Isn’t this cool? Just one simple Kanji tells that we have to be quiet on this narrow street. The black/yellow stripes are little too outstanding from the atmosphere, but that would be for catching attention, I guess…

Strolling around Kyoto alone was so fun to me. I never knew where I was brought to, when I just followed my curiosity. I wish I had more free time out there, but I was just walking & walking until it got dark and I got tired.Well, so much for today, and I’ll continue my post on the trip next time! Also, I’ve updated a further detailed post in “travel & eat-out in Japan” page for your reference, if you’re interested in.
