もみじ The changing autumn leaves in Kyoto

Thursday, November 26, 2009
Naoki took me to Kyoto to go look at the changing leaves of autumn. It was extremely beautiful.

The first place we went to look was Ashiayama (sp?)...we ate skewered fish on a big stick. It was the scariest thing Ive ever done but so delicious.







At night, and only in the fall when the leaves change colors, they light up the central temple/shrine (i dont know which one it is) in Kyoto. It was really crowded but totally awesome. The lights gave off a really eerie vibe...





This is the fountain of good luck water. There are three different spouts coming off the roof, each one represents a different kind of luck; money, health, happiness. We didnt know which spout had which lucky water, so I took a swig from all three. We had to stand in a long line before it was our turn to drink the lucky water.
