I spent a few days in Kyoto and have enough photos to flood the blog. But there were only 3-4 things that truly shocked me and they were not the ancient temples, the kimono, or the alphabet.
First was the rotating seats in the train. Simple and clever. Why do we not have that?
Second was the smart toilet and shower. Waking up at 2am personal time was only possible because of the steamy waterfall in the bathroom that I could unleash with a button.
Third was the cleanliness everywhere. It is not an easy task to not have a single piece of garbage anywhere. Requires a society that can do it.
I hope to come back with more time to explore.

Awesome photo. I quess the rotating seats are to keep people from getting bored? It sounds like a great place to be and yes, it’s society that helps keep it clean. That tells me they respect where they live. 🙂

The seats rotate so they face forward without the need for the car to be turned around 🙂

I was there from Monday to Thursday. Sure 🙂 I’m trying to convince my wife to do a vacation in Japan. I got the feeling that I need 2 weeks in Kyoto to just explore the food in the market that was next to the hotel.
