Hallow ! This is Eric Tanaka.
I was born in Kyoto, and I have been living in Kyoto.
I am sure that Kyoto is one of the best city for sightseeing and living.
I wish if I can introduce some nice places for you by walking around city streets.
Also, in suburbs, there are a lot of nice sightseeing places such as Bamboo forest, Monkey park, Fushimi shrine, Zen practice temples and so on.
Let's enjoy Kyoto town and Kyoto food.with me.

Mr. Eric T. Did a great job hitting the highlights of Kyoto. We had a whirlwind of sights to see as we only had one day in Kyoto and Mr. Eric did not disappoint. We did take a taxi to some places to pack it all in and a great stop for food at a market street. Thank you!
