Again towards Nogita from where a small stream comes down to the beach.

Nephew Tom in Kyoto

Recently my nephew, Tom visited from England. It was his first trip to Japan so I took him up to Kyoto to see the temples and gardens. I was very happy to be back and I think he had a great time too.
Kiyomizudera was lovely in the fading sunlight.
We walked through Gion and were lucky enough to see a lot of women in kimonos and even a Maiko.
I have been to Kinkakuji before but never when the weather was as good as this.
