Fushimi Inari taisha . 伏見稲荷大社
The shrine sits at the base of a mountain named Inari ,and It takes about 2 hours to walk up these 4 kilometers .
As the snowfall from the previous day still remained on the temple's roof (previous photo) and hedgerows, I thought I would see more snow in higher elevation. I headed straightly to Kiyomizu Temple and saw this view from its precinct. The temple is located halfway up in one of the mountains surrounding the Kyoto Basin. The trees in the foreground of the cityscape were still covered in snow. By this time, the snow in the city had all melted (though it might not look like so in this photo).
清水寺から眺めた京都の雪景色。
There is so much beautiful things hapening all the time in kyoto, and yet the atmosphere feels relax and peacefull.
One of Kyoto's oldest (founded in 711 AD) and most revered Shinto shrines, Fushimi Inari serves as the headquarters for all the 40,000 shrines dedicated to Inari across Japan.
Originally the god of rice, Inari now governs the modern equivalent: success and prosperity in business. Fushimi Inari Shrine draws thousands of businessmen and tradespeople seeking blessings for their enterprises, especially at the first prayers of the New Year.
Fushimi Inari is noted for its remarkable sight of some 10,000 small torii (shrine gates) that arch over a long path up the hill behind the shrine. It takes about two hours to walk to the top of the hill. For me the challenge was to take a photo without dozens of people in view, most taking selfies. This shot was the best I could do.
Het fraai opgeknapte stoomtramstation Dogo Onsen is een vertrekpunt van de stadstram in Matsuyama, Japan. De heftige regenval (zie o.a. de waterstromen langs de tramkoplamp) tijdens het blauwe uurtje maakte het nog sfeervoller met een ex-Kyoto tram uit 1964 gereed voor vertrek.
The former steamtrain-station Dogo Onsen serves nowadays as a tram terminus at Matsuyama, Japan. Motorcar 2004 (ex-Kyoto and built in 1964 by Naniwa Koki) is facing heavy rain during the blue hour. The tramway system forms part of the railway company Iyotetsu.

Kyōto Station
The current Kyoto Station was designed by architect Hiroshi Hara, and it opened in 1997 which commemorated Kyoto's 1,200th anniversary. It is 70 meters high and 470 meters from east to west, with a total floor area of 238,000 square meters. Architecturally, it exhibits many characteristics of futurism, with a slightly irregular cubic façade of plate glass over a steel frame. During the mid-1990s, Kyoto was one of the least modern cities in Japan by virtue of its many cultural heritage sites, so locals were largely reluctant to accept such an ambitious structure. However, the station's completion began a wave of new high-rise developments in Kyoto that culminated in the 20-story Kyocera Building.

A young guy playing a Diapason piano in free access at Kyoto station, in front of Kyoto tower. We spent there a wonderful moment listening to him and some other talented pianists, male and female, some of them really very young.
