車This giant kanji painted onto the pavement is "kuruma" or, in combination, "sha."
The picture is taken looking from directly above. The actual kanji should look like this:
車
It means wheel.
You can often spot it as part of 自動車 （jidosha）- car - that are on signs and roads.
This character however was part of 自転車（jitensha）- bike - and was on the Kyoto (Arashiyama) to Kizu bike trail.
We rode it recently, and continued on into Nara, which is not far beyond Kizu.
In future blogs, that wonderful route will be introduced.
