New Thing #118: Saw O-Bon in Kyoto, Japan

After teaching in China, I went to Kyoto, Japan for a two-week trip culminating in the annual Obon Festival. This was my second trip to Japan but my first time visiting the ancient city. Highlights included:
  • Visiting the Urasenke location
  • Walking around town
  • Air-conditioning (so warm!)
  • All the numerous shrines and temples I visited
  • Going out for my birthday and watching the sunset from the rooftop with Urasenke friends
  • Teramachidori 
  • Arashiyama day trip
  • Cultural shops (wagashi, chanoyu, kodo, etc.)
