In Kyoto last December and in August 2023 we travelled around by Metro which was less crowded than busses and stops convenient to most tourist spots. Pretty cheap too.
We have been doing a LOT of walking. But like you say, the walks are quite enjoyable.But I have no balance and can't ride a bike. I managed to get to what I wanted by Metro though some times with a 20 minute + walk. but i find the walk interesting and enjoyable.

No we didn't. Should we have? I'm not a coffee drinker so Starbucks isn't on my radar, I just liked how they'd styled it to fit in with the street.Damn that picture on Ninenzaka does my headache!
Did you go into that Starbucks?

Oh that's cool!Starbucks has nothing to do with coffee
But in Japan there are many very pretty stores! I am very much a fan of the design...
This particular one has tatami rooms upstairs.
The one and only.View attachment 416903
Oh that's cool!
No way you can get any seat there now. I went there twice in sept, two days in a row and people were always there.That picture were taken Feb 2020, store was not busy. Hell the whole city of Kyoto was not busy.
I doubt anyone would be able to find the tatami room empty now....

Ah okay, either way it was prettyThe flowering tree was possibly a Japanese plum. some do start flowering in January so still early.
If it had a fragrance it is a plum tree. cherry blossoms usually don't have a fragance.
