Kyoto City Hall

It is very nice to walk around NISHIYAMA RYOKAN.



Along the Teramachi street Oike Agaru, next to Nishiyama Ryokan, there are some small shops which are hand crafts made by bamboo, paper, and furnitures...



After 5 minutes walk, you will find the Kyoto city hall.



Here, at the square in front of city hall, I found interesting "gifts", given from other foreign sister city to Kyoto city.

Kyoto has seven sister cities around the world.



Paris (France): The Name Plate " Place de Kyoto" which is also located in Paris!














Boston and Paris: The Gaslights









Cologne (Germany): The Mosaic. The original was found in 1844 and preserved in the museum as the most important thing in Cologne.
















Kiev (Ukraine): The Friendship Monument.


Firenze ( Italy) : The Statue of Puccino ( replica), made by Andrea Bellocchio. 15 c.










I think most of the people do not realize about these,
but i thought this is nice to see.


It is interesting and you can feel like being in another country!
Let's walk in Kyoto and find new things.

This morning, a yasaka taxi with pattern of a four-leaf clover came to our ryokan. Most yasaka taxies are with a three-leaf clover. Taxies with a four-leaf clover are only 4 in Kyoto city.
