Unforgettable Kyoto!

Visited again recently, this city arguably offers the best slice of Japan - from exquisite cuisine, Zen, numerous UNESCO sites to catching a glimpse of Geisha at a tea ceremony! Here are some pictures from Tokyo Imperial Palace and Fushimi Inari Shrine. It was good to see Christie, a good friend and co-researcher, after a long time.
