Momiji and Kyoto

Peaches and Leaves
Originally uploaded by robizumi.

We went to Kyoto so see the red leaves this fall. Red leaves are called Momiji (紅葉) in Japanese. We were just a little early and many of the trees had yet to turn, but there was still plenty of beautiful things to see. Luckily Matt told us they were lighting up Kyomizudera at night. Something they only do during certain times of the year. Tonight we are leaving to visit Tokyo, and Nikko. Then we will travel all the way back to the west side of Japan and head down to Shikoku by car. So you can expect quite a few pictures in the next 2 weeks or so.
