Kyoto, The Kyoani Trip 1st day - Kiyomizudera

Kyoto Trip 001

Title : Kyoto Trip
Date : 11~13 December 2010
Location : Kyoto, Shiga

A short trip right after the conference at Ritsumeikan Daigaku( Keio level private university). The place I've visited is a real place from some anime titles, well if you see the picts I bet you'll know it instantly =)

Kiyomizudera (Kyoto)
Moriguchishi Station (Kanon)
Kowata/Kohata Station (Kyoani)
Toyosato night(Keion)
Toyosato morning(Keion)

Because the conference location is just perfect for my next trip I've decided to travel around here a bit before going home back to Tokyo. I prefer called it Kyoani Trip rather than Kyoto Trip because I went up to Toyosato. And I would rather not talked about the conference, well basically because that is not the main story here.

11th December 2010

Right after the conference ended we went back to Kyoto Station. Parted with my senpai at the Kyoto Station. Then I've decided to go to Kiyomizudera, I heard that the lighting here during fall is nice. As a cameraman I wouldn't miss a chance like this. Oh and by the way, this is the famous tourist spot, as you can see them a lot from the anime (Keion, Yakuindomo etc)

You can see the temple from distance.

Right after the visit I've decided to stay at the capsule hotel for the night. After spending time googling, I found a good hotel near the station but.... all of the were full! What should I do? At the time I remembered about my other senpai who is now living in Osaka. So I called him and said I'm gonna stay at his place that night and he said OK. "Lucky me!" was in my mind before looking at the clock. 11pm. Yabai! Checked my phone for the train and started running for the train.

I managed to catch the train(lucky me!) then suddenly the train stops(engine malfunction, I can smell burning engine...) and delayed 20 minutes. And the next thing I know, I'm stuck at the station with no train running. So I called my senpai for a guide to his place... Thanks to google phone I managed to arrive at his place at 230am. 2 hours walk T_T
