京都自転車Parked in front of a traditional downtown Kyoto shop are the requisite three bicycles.
Moving from Tokyo Cool - messy, exuberant, and pulsating - we were expecting a bit more restraint in the old capital.
Kyoto Cool is indeed restrained compared to Tokyo, but it is messy and lively and funky in its own way.
The riot of Chinese characters (kanji) that is displayed on many shops is one example. Another would be the 37 potted plants in front of most quite small residences.
And, of course, no Kyoto home or business would be complete without three (or more) bicycles parked pell-mell in front.
