When close to the time of passing away, just because I'm busy and not prepared anything fixtures. Said preparation actually furnished but often the biggest concern of the trip is to bring what machine to capture. The digital photography is simple, but the camera assembly as part nostalgic I just squirming think should photograph any film format, 35mm, medium format and large format, bringing compact rangefinder cameras to SLRs sniper or carry away Sequence bar rather than missing the wrong guy ..., lifted also put much headache. This time the camera outside interests, also features luggage space so you can fit running shoes. Also targeted return to eat, take pictures, this trip should definitely running in Japan. The reason to jog in Japan is because love for hiking discipline my run was started by a book by a Japanese author, the book "What I Talk About When I Talk About Running" by Haruki Murakumi. Should jogging in Japan meant a return to the source to me. Other than usual often Hanoi fly-Narita route, this time I started the journey by Osaka airport. Flights Hanoi-Osaka started at midnight as usual. Every time I climb on board was asleep a circuit opened his eyes as to Japan, this time not because of poor health or understood by Vietnam Airlines increased the number of seats should sit uncomfortable uncomfortable at all, all night struggling continent Departments chair. Just sleep a little stale stale the attendant awakened invited to eat. After eating enough food but the whole sleeping province, the results are down to where haggard from lack of sleep. The intention of the following morning I started running in Osaka had to cancel because of his sleep. The next day, I visited the city of Kyoto. Having visited Kyoto, visiting the tourist sites, so all I did not salt the familiar attractions. Thankfully, in the program have a free day should be sufficient time to perform the first running in Japan. Hotels in Kyoto is a hotel right opposite the station in Kyoto, a landmark very easy orientation if lost. From the day before I was selected as output destination located in the district of Gion Ishibe. If anyone has seen the movie Memoirs of a Geisha, the military are known Gion area which is famous by her Geisha. If the statistics in 1920, there are about 80,000 geisha in Gion and Potoncho two areas, but now only the 1000 Geisha throughout Japan. Opportunity to see a Geisha is very rare she should have completely separate one tour just to wandering around the ancient streets hopefully see 1, 2 her. USD 70-80 times before because unfortunately something, I go around but also met her two Geisha, celebrate that day as get money. County Gion Geisha her outside the place is famous by the ancient streets, with Japanese-style wooden house, riverside pubs with lanterns. Lane Ishibe, I opted for the point to jog, not very popular with visitors because nothing special there. It was just a small alley paved with ancient houses. From Kyoto Station to see on the map Lane Ishibe about 3.6 km, a distance very close to the long distance runners, but in Japan there is the difficulty that my phone can not be used to program 3G Google Map inoperable, fortunately GPS still works so I occasionally pulled out to see whether you have run out of routes not deviate. This season in Japan early morning, from 5am sun was blazing. Weather ideal for jogging, roads are also ideal for outdoor running. In his book early Murakami said new track, he was afraid to jog outdoors because of the fear neighbors should usually set to run at the training ground near the house. It is true that the Japanese are an introvert and afraid to express themselves, but the weather and roads this new crazy not run outdoors. But Kyoto's true that few people jogging on the track, only to see a man running in the same direction in front, run along with my speed. Running a bad return phone running the wrong way to know took nearly 1km, I went back, they met again two jogging backward. It was only three runners that day I met in Kyoto. From Kyoto station, I ran across the overpass, crossing first the trains Shinkasen the pride of Japan running spiraling then run on to cross the Kamo River . Kamo River this season very shallow water, inert rock passages in the riverbed, a glimpse of storks, pelicans standing pensively. Along the waterfront is very nice but the road embankment nor seen anyone run the ball. Also surprising, but for a long run, then who are you standing alone on the track. Japanese people often work late at 9 up on the road occasionally see people. To the intersection of the red light at first I stopped for lawful, but later saw the Japanese walk up the eye still red light ahead after, did not see the car is always to support me through to stop. On Running At first sight of a gate or a temple Shinto is I stop shooting, but later thought out with 2,000 temples in Kyoto but in doing so it did not arrive until noon so the next run so plug neck. Just moments later looked GPS signal has to be point I knew I wanted to. No one warning signal, suddenly I'm from Century 21 plopping into a time machine and go back a few hundred years ago. Whether seen on photos, I did not imagine the beauty of the ancient alleys are more beautiful in real life on the pictures several times. Small Ishibe Alley alone, clean paved, along the lane is Japan's ancient houses not come off as hundreds of years ago. Take along a zigzag alley, feeling as always willing to see a bird she Gesha though, wearing kimono. Unlike other terminals of the Gion district has been trade excessively on Trip Advisor software they write by This lane forgotten should retain the ancient atmosphere of Japan, in addition to the main lane is a senior citizen or restaurant should avoid restaurants bustling atmosphere. When I went to the alley, absolutely no sign anyone, felt like falling into context a Studio Ghibli film. Post Lane Nature heard children laughing, I run and caught a glimpse of a Japanese family is going to end alley, unfortunately in the hands without the camera, holding up the phone had great press. By the end of the alley, I find myself another peanut into an ancient village, the village is located along the ridge, steep climb alley, two roadside restaurants are numerous restaurants. Turns out this is the ancient village Higashiyama, a popular destination for tourists. If you come here at noon and found everywhere filled with Chinese tourists noisy trading, Chinese girls posing geisha kimono rent walking everywhere, but in the early morning dawn, the shops are not open , quiet village is a different world. Wandering photography bored, I run to the hotel, the total distance is about 10km run. A very interesting experience Kyoto. Thank Murakami and his books, thanks to half hour jogging but to any other city, I also have the opportunity to explore different angles from a completely different. Open parentheses: If you want to experience without running, all you can from Kyoto station bus No. 206 (this bus route tourist route passing through the famous sites in Kyoto), to the Gion district, then alight and walk 800m on Ishibe lane. Should visited at time earlier about 8:00 am, after that walk to visit the ancient village Higashiyama area next to the green tea ice cream, shopping, or drinking tea, coffee in every style Japanese restaurant ...
