Kyoto Tower. Instead of copying the Eiffel Tower they went for a futuristic look. (Futuristic from the standpoint of the early 1960s anyway.)

Whenever he was filming in Kyoto, Akira Kurosawa<\/a> liked to stay at the Ishihara Ryokan. They still display some of his memorabilia.

The Kyoto Handicraft Center is full of shops selling various crafts and artworks.

Red pandas (“firefoxes”) at the Kyoto zoo.
