Memoirs

We took the Bullet train to Kyoto this morning and spent the afternoon wandering the streets around the temple.

Tomorrow we’re going to see the Geishas perform- they only perform for the public in April… so we’re rather lucky we’re here now. We’re going early to do the tea ceremony before their performance…

I took this picture outside the Asakusa Temple in Tokyo. Will one of you Sunshine people email me to let me know if you think it should go up on the Sunshine site or not…?

    Hello. Really enjoying these photos of Japan. I’m going there myself next week so these are whetting my appetite nicely. Thanks.

    Adrian, I’m jealous… I wish *I* were going to be here next week… Where are you going to in Japan?

  3. Adrian says:

    I’m going to be in Hokota (a small city where a friend lives) Tokyo, Fukuoka, Hiroshima and then Tokyo again. I’ve started reading Peter Carey’s Wrong about Japan which is (so far) very good and I’d recommend, if you haven’t read.

    Thanks for that. I will get it when I’m back in the UK. I haven’t had time here to read *anything* except Metro maps ;)

    Hi!

    I love your photos, especially these ones. Do you mind if I used them as reference for my web design?

    Gosh, you make me wanna go Japan! Seems fun. =)

    Cheers!

    Sure, Melissa. They are up on my Flickr account in the Holiday set. And if you can put a little link here, that’d be lovely.
