Some Images!

Shosei-in in Kyoto at night.
The Arashiyama Bamboo Forest. It’s really something else if you’ve never been in a bamboo forest before.
Tenryuji. This kind of minimalism doesn’t come cheap!
The gardens at Tenryuji.
Toei Eigamura! If you love samurai movies, definitely make a stop here.
Pontocho in Kyoto at night. I love this little stretch so very much!
Some familiar faces in a police box in Kyoto (the Yodo-go hijackers!)
This doesn’t really come up on the podcast but it was local election season while we were there and this poster for the NHK party is…wild.
A JSDF recruitment poster in Nara that features very prominently now in my lectures in class!
Rokuharamitsuji
The view from Kyoto Tower.
Another photo of Shosei-in at night.
