Kyoto

Imported Marble

I spent some time walking the backstreets of Kyoto. Opposite this Shrine, I found incense sellers so I had to buy some. I got ripped off my an ancient woman when I bought some pencils and pretended to plead ignorance about the money!

Kyoto Tower was my navigation point but seeing I spent a lot of time trapped in the Kyoto Station Shopping Complex, I had to find a street level exit to see it.

The Hotel Granvia has magnificent marble pillars. The pillars have labelled sample squares of marble from all around the world.
