Ok on taking the train next month.. I look forward to hearing
about it.
My that Kyoto station looks huge even in a picture.
I have often wondered if modern Japan is much lilke one large
suburbia outside the cities. Not one continuous village, but where
one can see man made structures virtually everywhere.
The pictures show some nice country scenes though.
I can remember 50 years ago in the area where I live one could
travel miles and not see a house or building. Now traveling along
those same roads it's hard to find a spot where you can't see a
house or barn.
