Fantastic photos, Eugene! I especially liked the ones near the beginning of the gardens with the the beautiful reflections in the water, with Kinkaku-ji: Golden Pavillion being my favorite. I showed my husband that first group of pictures since he had been to Japan once on business and took a week-end to visit Kyoto.
And since I am a "critter person" I'm happy that you included the turtle hitchhiker, the grey & white cats and the mouse.
Like Sue, I also really enjoyed the beauty of the fan dance.
