Kyoto streets after sunset

One of the best things to do in Kyoto is walking by the streets during the night, even better if you are riding a bike.

You find yourself in the middle of japan typical buildings.

The sun has just set down, the way is occasionally illuminated and the only lights come from the signboards of some little izakaya, or maybe a ryokan, or a simple shop... you can see them reflected on trees and wood balconies, with a sudden colorful sight in the shadow.

In the air you can feel the taste of some japanese home-made delight, mixed with pine and unknown flowers fragrance... the last salary-men just came back from their job places... everybody are enjoying dinner together so the street is clear and no noise can break this relaxing and quiet sensation. 

You feel yourself all in one with this city, with these little surprises it offers everyday and behind every corner you walk around.
