Japan is as Beautiful as Japan

The bitter green tea is refreshing as ever. 

Usually there used to be 3 types of discard collection bins. Now there are four: Pet bottles, cans, newspapers and magazines, and others.










There are models of Kyoto tower on display.





Kyoto City office, antique appearance, active as ever.



One Rai earned this great fame. Salute to Sanyo Rai.




Bikuri Donkey looks  as old and weird as it was.


Crows are larger. Later i will explain why?





New construction at the top of Inari mountain.

Pigions are large. Later, i will tell you why.

Daimonji From an angle.
I used this milepost as camera stand to take the 2 of the below pictures. 














I could not capture the fragrance of this queen flower. So think of  your best perfume here.

I never saw Ox around here and this is my first time to see Ox Parking.  Quite expensive parking.

The Kamogawa flows in its usual pattern. It doesn't seem to miss anyone who miss this place.





The stairs to Bamboo roof top in Kyoto Station are now illuminated with different colored light. Don't miss them. More pictures below from different angles and with different patterns of light.
