Japan Report 01 - Kyoto
Added 2024-11-22 12:56:40 +0000 UTCBy Karin
We arrived in Japan and our first stop was Kyoto, the former imperial capital. It is a city with a lot of history and iconic buildings.
We went to Nijo Castle, the Golden Pavilion, the International Manga Museum, Fushimi Inari and more! Even to Gion with Leena and put on Kimonos! Yes, there are shops with kimonos that can fit mutants, although they are not easy to find.
At night we visited Pontocho, a traditional architecture area full of bars and restaurants (yummy!).
There we could see this beautiful Kitsune in her Kimono. Apparently Kitsunes have a better reputation nowadays, although older people still tend to distrust them. I guess many Yokai are based on mutants.
Did I already say that the food here is delicious?
