      Looks like you had all of Kyoto to yourselves somehow.

      We tried to avoid the crowds, were only once in the center and Nishiki Market and Gion only to see the new Momotaro store. The usual tourist has three or four spots in Kyoto, it's quite easy to avoid them.

      Kyoto Shijoo Bridge with Minamiza (Kabuki) Theater... and lots of people

      ...and one place which was quite busy too, Ginkaku-ji with the Silver Pavilion but it was worth it, even saw a guy wearing a Japanese Denim brand some of you might know...

      God has blessed you richly, so get down on your knees and thank him. Don’t forget the less fortunate or God will personally kick your ass. I’d love to do it for him, but I can’t be everywhere. Willie Nelson

            My favorite temple in Kyoto especially the garden, again one we had almost on our own.

                This pictured gardens are so beautiful!

                Guess the cultivation is totally time consuming as it is contemplative.

                    @Mister_Brue thank you so much the architecture and tranquility of the temples and the beauty of the japanese gardens was amazing, just sitting there can really help to clear one's mind.

                                  Yes indeed thank you so much @Chap . Gorgeous photos of the trip of a lifetime.

                                  You guys did the kind of trip I’d want to do, balancing towards serenity.

                                  My wife brought up going to Japan, somewhat to my surprise since she loves beaches and tropical climes. I hope we can build some serenity into our adventure alongside some urban exploration. I’ll be coming back here for inspiration. Thanks again.

                                  Think it, be it.
