Umbrellas of Kyoto, Japan

The backstreet alleys of Kyoto offer an exciting insight into the traditional side of Japan, a window into the past. What stands out to me though, is that many of the religious and cultural practices aren't in the past but instead are really quite current and still being carried out on a day to day basis. So you aren't just witnessing a time from the past but a myriad of ancient to modern worlds entwined all together.

 

This stone path, with its traditional shops and restaurants, winds its way up the hillsides of Kyoto to the Kiyomizu-dera temple. The temple overlooks Kyoto and offers an amazing view of the entire valley.
