Tourists will be crushing Kyoto this week as cherry blossoms come into bloom. I welcome the polite and appreciative ones, and when I need to escape, two wheels take me to beautiful places tourists seldom reach.

The 5 story Pagoda at Tōji, Kyoto is the tallest in Japan. It stood majestically beside the Rashomon (yes, that one) entrance gate to the capital, then known as "Heian."

A highlight of 2024 was Peter calling me as I finished a tour inviting me to impromptu o-hanami in a public park with 3 geisha. 1. Geiko Hisakayo reviews lyrics. 2. Geiko & Maiko dance to shamisen in the park. 3. Senjafuda name stickers

Men of Kurama village in the mountains north of Kyoto endure scrapes to tightly cinch bundles of *yamatsutsuji* (mountain azalea) stalks with hand- and foot-braided ropes to build the *taimatsu* torches that will be carried in the Kurama Fire Festival. #kyoto #japan #photography #matsuri #festival
