YASAKA SHRINE

Yasaka Shrine is central to the preparations and festivities connected with the
annual Gion Festival. Yasaka Jinja lies at the very heart of much of Kyoto's festive tradition.

That's Asako in a Gai-Jin sandwich with me and Jason.

Next day was spent doing "work" at Universal Studios Japan.

Yeah, yeah, the floats looked fine. (I work so hard on these trips).

That afternoon we took the bullet train to Tokyo.
