That looks slippery as hell.

Now imagine it in a pair of these bad boys

[–] rbos@lemmy.ca 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Probably not too bad. There are steps, it's not a slope.

[–] Seleni@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

I’ve been there in the rain. It is that bad. Being steps somehow makes it worse.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

I could definitely live there.

Kyoto is a magical city, rain or shine

[–] aniki@lemm.ee 4 points 6 months ago (2 children)

I been there. It's tourist hell.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

Oh no! It looks so peaceful and serene.

[–] x4740N@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

I feel sorry for the local residents

The anagram lover's Tokyo.

What are those buildings, any idea? Businesses? Houses? I see what look like signs out front, but can’t tell what for. Idle curiosity.

[–] oehm@midwest.social 18 points 6 months ago (1 children)

This is a touristy street that leads up to a temple. Those shops are mostly peddling knick knacks, ice cream, etc.

Gotcha. Starbucks, now with atmosphere!

[–] appel@lemmy.ml 10 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Funny thing you should say that because IIRC there actually is a Starbucks on the left right around the corner (though with a traditional facade at least). Source: wife and I were there last year.

Kyoto has SUPER strict laws around building appearances. They absolutely do not want corporations coming in and fucking up the vibe.

[–] appel@lemmy.ml 1 points 6 months ago

One more reason to love Kyoto ❤️

As far as I know, a lot of these are small businesses. Mom and pop shops.
