Shirakawa at Twilight (video)


View this clip on Vimeo
Birdwatching on the Shirakawa in Gion, Kyoto. This is the actual section of the Shirakawa in the book and movie "Memoirs of a Geisha." The teahouses and restaurants backing the stream are the ones in Tominaga-cho. The bird is a common "aosagi" or blue heron. The last few scenes (starting from the lantern in dark street) are not Gion but the district called Miyagawa-cho and Kamo River.

hi!こんにちわ!

Do you know,In general,that Gion consists of four areas?

"Gion shell"祇園甲部
"Miyakawa-cho"宮川町
"Kamishichiken"上七軒
"Ponto-cho"先斗町

I had gone to the Miyakawa-cho last week.
I feel old, good Kyoto in the thin alley.


Do you often go for a walk to Kamogawa?

have a good time! ではでは~。

Hello to planetkyoto. I think you make some nice video. Unfortunately, when the video is starting to make progressive download it always stops at about one-seventh of the total lenght.
Why does this happen? I never get a change to see all of your nice video.

Cheers,
