Hi
ReplyDeleteIt's Jérome who sleeps at capsule ryokan until 24th october. I really like your blog. I would like to visit the food market. And I choose to come at this date to watch the matsuri on 22nd october. Do you think I also could go to the fire matsuri on the evening of the 22nd? Because at Kyoto TIC they told me it was not for foreigners. See you tomorrow, Jérôme. Mail. : jeromehenry1972@gmail.com
