Kyoto, in spite of being a big city, doesn’t give the same feeling of a megapolis. It’s as comfortable as a small town. After a beautiful sunset one Sunday morning, Kyoto is invigorating with thousands of lights of all sorts of shops. The view of Kyoto at night from Kyoto Tower is pretty awesome!

Great photos! Captures Kyoto's different sides. I lived there for a year and a half. There's also a viewing area at top Kyoto station.
Thank you, Susan! I visited Kyoto just for few days as I avoid "touristic" places. But, I enjoyed Kyoto in many ways and would like to come back!
