I met with my Good Samaritan guide today, a student named Hiro, and a Londoner, Charles, for a great walk around NW Kyoto, which included the temples of Ninna-ji, the zen garden of Ryonaji and the golden temple of Kinkakuji.
We then went to the Eastern part of Kyoto to visit the house of a Potter, whose working studio and home have been preserved. Imagine a 7 chamber climbing wood kiln in the middle of Kyoto city!
Dinner was fabulous. Happened to get lost on my way back to the Ryokan and by chance found a fabulous restaurant with great wine. Cost me a pretty penny but was a nice change from the meals I've had so far.
Dear friends and family who are reading these blogs. Pictures will be uploaded when I return to NY.
