Interior of the Kyoto train station.
Wanted to take a photo of the atrium ceiling, but looking straight up wouldn't have included a reference of a side wall--so I took this at angle to include one end.
Got on the southbound subway train by mistake when I had intended to take the northbound train. There was one attraction on the south side, and it involved a mile hike east in 99 degree heat and high humidity.
A street hike through a south side Kyoto neighborhood.
Heading north now because the map showed the shrine would be up on the right. A university is on the left here--didn't want to stop and find out the name due to the energy-sapping weather...
Always curious to know about housing. I think these are apartmental rental ads posted for public consumption.
More rental ads.
A closeup of an ad. I think the 9.5 is the number of square meters to the unit.
A canal crossed on the way to the shrine.
The shrine at last!
This was quite the complex, stretching well up into and around the mountain directly behind...
The use of shade umbrellas was quite common around Japan.
Complete with lucky foxes.
Looking back...
