kyoto central station
outside the local middle school |
There's a special place in my heart for any school anywhere, and I found the shoes left outside of the gymnasium during a basketball tournament adorable. Looking at the top right, one or two outliers...at the edge of the group and not so orderly as the rest! (that would be me, the clumsy guy).

strolling through the rice and vegetable fields |
This section of Otsu is mainly newly developed homes, with some older, more established homes closer to the waterfront. There are community garden plots and rice fields...the rice is considered among Japan's best and was very very good. We brought back some tea which has rice mixed in, very very delicious. We had found the perfect place to use as home base as we got ready to experience the culture, sights, and food of this part of Japan!
I love your post very much!
