A taxi in Kyoto. We took this picture to remember the taxi drivers who always wear suits and white gloves, their spotless cars, fancy mirrors, and the way the left rear door opens and shuts automatically at the touch of a button. |
A store in the Kyoto Station that sells all kinds of green tea flavored foods and drinks |
The "Shikansen", Japan's bullett train. This is the train we took today from Kyoto to Okinawya, on our way to Shikoku. |

Inside Asakura's "towel museum" - this village is famous for its towels! |
Looking up toward Mt. Kasamatsu, the symbol of Asakura village |
Here we are with our wonderful hostess, Yoshiku, in the gardens outside the towel museum. |
These pictures are all taken in Asakura - they give a pretty good idea of the village and its surroundings |
