京都 写真

Was chatting with my mom the day before about her previous trip to Kyoto ^^;

The temple in picture 9601.jpg is called Kiyomizu-dera (清水寺)

Nice pics Danny. Those night tree shots look very cool.

What you need to do get a portable GPS unit have it record your path taken then you can sync it with the time stamp of the pics you take. Look up Geo Blogging people are doing some neat stuff with it.

Nice looking pics, I might go to Kyoto now to check it out and pick up some "souvenirs" lol. Always nice to check out the more "traditional" places to understand the culture but Akiba will always be on mind lol.

I went 1 day to Kyoto on my Japan trip in May. All the temples are a bit spread out over the city. And I didn't like the bus rides, they were kind of packed. But a packed bus is different from a packed train, dont know why, but I like trains more. Anyway..
Went to Kinakuji too (that gold building), Gion district, some temples in the neigborhood of Gion, and the Fushimi Inari shrine with the 1000 torii. Seems like you did some other places as well, but you did it in 2 days, I only had 1 day for Kyoto, so I was limited in what to go visit.
Great pics :)

Great Photos, Danny!

Love Kyoto - lived there for 9 months in 1999 - my first exposure to Japan & Japanese everyday life.

Things I noticed:

1. Most people I knew had cell-phones with CAMERAS on them (not a big deal today, but did YOU have a camera phone in 98/99? Didn't think so.

2. Well, yes , cute girls everywhere. Didnt know how to handle this as I was previously living in the UK, not famous for pretty girls.

3. Most people went to Osaka on the train on the weekend to go out - Kyoto night-clubs arent up to much - thereare only 4 or 5 clubs of any description.

4. Yakuza were everywhere! They run a lot of things in Kansai in general, but of course the most flamboyant Yakuza where in "Gion", the bar & red-light district, often with rolled-up sleeves in the summer.

Lots of other stuff... Your great pictures are reminding me of my time there...

I'm definitely going there this summer, but I'm just afraid of the slopes and the stairways, cause one of my friend is disabled, so I guess it's going to be hard to visit..

"Something special about this water which is the reason why people are collecting it in bottles."

It's one of 3 pure-water springs - one of the purest sources of water in Japan.

The temple name (some-thing misu) means Pure Water iirc.

Kyoto really does look beautiful! I hope I can visit some time, it seems like such a fine place to explore. The location of Spirited Away reminds me a lot of Kyoto, due to its traditional style buildings.

I only know that building featured in the movie as the Kiyomizu Stage, It is said that if you jump off the stage, you will get your deepest wishes fulfilled. And I should think you'd be wishing you never even thought of jumping down a frighteningly high drop in the first place. >.

Nice pictures and Kyoto looks awesome indeed. I noticed that you used a wide-angle lens for most (all?) the pictures. From what I know, while this captures more of the scene, it also distorts the edges a bit (makes it rounder). I don't have a dSLR but I have experience with film SLR photography I'm planning to get one soon. Is it a hassle to change lenses in between? Is that why you chose to stick with wide-angle all the way danny?

I think I will return to Kansai (Osaka and Kyoto) next time I come in Japan. This is different than Tokyo, but I prefer Kansai !

Nice pics - wish i coulda seen more of Kyoto when i went. I underestimated the size of the damn place and ended up having very little time to see anything before getting our shinkansen back!

Some of those places look really busy and touristy - quite a contrast to the serene, traditional surroundings.

If I ever go to Japan Kyoto is a top priority in my book since I love japanese old style buildings. Walking is not a problem since when I travel I always walk a lot mostly when I go to New York, walking from the Times Square to the Metropolitan museum is no easy task in the high summer of August

Such a beautiful place... with a worldwide recognition for its temples and such.

I wish to visit Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka (and why not Okinawa, dream on!) if I could afford it.

I like Kyoto over Tokyo by just a little bit. Mainly because of the cherry blossoms. Is it true that if a cherry blossom petal falls on you, it's good luck? Our teacher told us this and this prompted some people to actually shake a tree. Desperate much?

We saw those awesome Tshirts near a Movix in Kyoto. We were going to take photos of them but a stingy lady didn't allow us. Some shops around that place had funny names like 'Bruce Pee.'

Looks like somewhere I would love to go check out, and definately plaan on it within the next year.

Kyoto is such a beautiful place, I love how serene the place looks with all its shrine and what not.

Kyoto looks liek the opposite of Tokyo, alot of old building it seems...

Didn't have the time to visit Kyoto the last time i visited Japan, but am definitely going to go there if i ever get the chance to go to Japan again... sigh...

Kioto is a beatiful places. I hope can see with my eyes sometime...

Absolutely stunning pictures as always. I hope i get the chance to visit Kyoto in person someday.

Still gorgeous photos of Kyoto!!!!

Great pictures. I like the night shots.

it kool it kool

今の頃には桜が一番いいんだよ！！
京都の有名な桜を見る場所も色々あるし～
最近も段々寒くなくなるし～
私も外に出たいなあ～

Yay!
Been living in Kyoto for the last five years... and I love the city!
Left some comments on Flickr with the names of the places picture by picture.

Wooo! I would like go in the events like this ^^

Nice photos of Kyoto. Makes me miss it, like everyone else. Right around where you took the photos of Kiyomizu-dera, there were some spots you'd have to crawl into to get some fantastic shots of the skyline.

gah i totally missed this article

wow, photos look awesome there danny
the time that i visited kiyomizu temple was during december 06' - Unfortunately there was too much fog, couldn't see very far or any detail.

gah, i wish i were back there again T___T

Wow...still haven't have chances to go to kyoto for some walking....

Very beautiful photos. Kyoto is indeed beautiful city, when I will be in Japan it is on my ,,place to see" ^^

Reminded of me a certain episode of Airgear and Lucky Star.
Lol on those souvenirs! hahaha...

Most of those photos remind me of what I have seen in loads of Anime shows. So I can only guess that many of the artists must be from that area. Even some scenes flash up from Inyusha and Ghost Hound. Those photos would allow a new visitor who seen them first have a feeling they have been there before.

that is a nice place to go

Am I seeing things? Did one of the souvenirs just said no ________?

What's that tofu dish called in the last photo Danny? And how do you eat it...looks interesting?

i remember my first time in Kyoto, we spent the WHOLE afternoon looking for geishas then as we were calling for a taxi home, we finally saw one. My dad was calling her "hello! hello!" and she ignored him, we just LOLed

It remind my visit to Kyoto! Kyoto is my fav. among all the Japan cities I visited! All the old age building and path...
Hope can visit it again!!

I was in Kyoto last year. I think pic #15530 is the Nijojo (Nijo Castle), one of the few castles in Japan that wasn't bombed to smithereens in WWII. It was kinda cool to see it in its original state, but also meant no pictures inside :(

Kyoto is a facinating place. I've been there 10-15 times and always find new and interesting curiosites. Cherry blossom time is an excellent time to visit if you can get the timing right. That is always difficult due to the short time of peak blossoms.Fall is also an beautiful time to visit. The fall foliage peaks a bit longer than than cherry blossoms so the odds of good viewing are higher. But the crowds seem more dense and hotel rooms are scarce.

Looks just like Lucky Star, whats with the massive bump?

I went to kyoto many years ago, want to go back again ^^ at the time we only had about an hour to roam around tho ^^;

I liked the sinking of Japan movie too. It showed lot of major places besides Kyoto. I still have to watch the other movie where the rest of the world sinks.
The silver pavilion was being renovated when I visited last time, dang. And went to the too-many-toori place.

^^ I'd love to bring back one of those souvenirs.

hahahahaha NO F*ing T-shirt lol

I will definitely make sure to show my friends some traditional souvenirs. Then they will probably tell me that some of them are almost as traditional as things at the local "Hot Topic". ^^;

what kind of souvenirs is that ????

oh kyoto, how wonderful it must have been to see such a place

When I so go to Japan Kyoto will be a have to place to go ^_^

kyoto is great

Beautiful, Kyoto looks wonderful.

That last image made me drooool.... Love that they had it in a bucket ^^

I loved Kyoto too. Kiyomizu-dera, kitsune udon and wheat beer!

Kyoto is so cool. A great time to go there is during the lantern festival right after st. Patties day. Most of the locations shown above are lite up differently with lanterns and there are loads of jolly people.

Awesome pics Danny!
I've been at Kiyomizu-dera too, spectacular sights.
Hope to be back there someday, with a decent camera... xD

Ah, recently got back from Osaka, had a stop off in Kyoto before leaving (ok, so it was a massive detour, but eh...), and my word was it pretty. Did get a little overload with the sakura (Philosophers' Path was a mite insane), but lots of photo-ops with the girlfriend.

I love tofu milk! Though, tofu in London isn't that great (except China Town and Oriental stores). I was hoping Kyoto to be a bit traditional though, but the pictures are awesome.

Very beautiful, gaahhh! so many places to see when i hit japan >.<

Just returned from a short trip to Kyoto in late March. Took the Nozomi from Tokyo. The Lantern Festival (Higashiyama Hanatouro) was on so at night, all the small sloped streets between Kiyomizu-dera Temple and Maruyama Park where lit by the light of hundreds of lanterns. It was Magical. I recognize some of your photos (e.g. ID#12227). I walked down the very same streets just a few short weeks ago. I'd post some pics of my own and more trip thoughts if I knew how to post my own news.

I would love just to go to an oriental building, there so beautiful.

Lovely. I might go to Kyoto this coming summer vacation.

sooner or later I have to go to japan

I think anyone visiting Kyoto and/or Japan needs to read "Dogs and Demons" by David Kerr (or his other book). He's not an apologist for Japan's senseless destruction of natural resources, however he does paint a realistic portrait of this paradoxical and beautiful country. For the record, David Kerr really does love Japan.

Then get a copy of Lonely Planet Japan. READ IT. Don't go to Kyoto expecting geisha and samurai wandering all over the place, because frankly that just makes you a naive, ignorant gaikokujin. That said, Kiyomizudera and Nijo-jo are well worth the visit. Kinkaku-ji is okay if you DON'T go during Golden Week. I like the large Buddhist temple (Nishi Hongan-ji_ just down the road from Kyoto eki (train station) for its austere beauty.

If you try to go to the Imperial Palace (Kyoto go sho?), and you're not a Japanese, just bring your passport to the local Imperial Ministry office and you should be able to get in the same day. Japanese people have to wait up to a year in advance. Try to stay in one of the many charming and affordable ryokan near the canals as opposed to the overpriced hotels downtown or in Gion. The Philosopher's Walk during Sakura season is very nice, too.

Lovely pictures Danny!! ^__^ Everything looks peacefull...and some of those pics look really crowded =____= lol still would love to visit that though =3

looks like one of those super quiet and peaceful places really good pics Danny keep it up!!

Beautiful, absolutely beautiful place, I hope some day I can go there.
Wonderful pics!!!
