Knycx Journeying: Blog and Snapshot my journey in this fascinating world
While Kyoto is simply irreplaceable, I had sweet moments walking in “mini-Kyoto” – Kurashiki, Japan, during the cherry blossoms season.

I could imagine the canal would look much more vibrant when the willow on both sides of the canal turns green.
