At sunset. We were hiking up fast in order to catch the sunset. I could feel myself panting for air and dripping with lots of sweat.
A couple seen here enjoying the city view and watching the sun sets.
The view of the city - not the best night views I have seen but still a great view of the city lights below from atop Daimonji-yama.
More pictures of the Kyoto city. I guess this is nothing compared to the Hakodate (Hokkaido) night view which is considered as one of the best in the world.
We hiked down the dark trail. It was a bit spooky to me. Daimonji-yama is one for the five mountains in Kyoto where fires are lit during the obon season to guide the deceased ancestors back to the another world. And Obon is just around the corner. August is ghost time in Japan !

ai ling : everybody knows ? i thought only the kyoto bloggers (and friends) knew. did i leave a clue somewhere ?
emotionalistic : because in japan there are dish washers :P there was one occasion, i didn't have enough money and they don't accept credit card, at the end I have to leave them my student ID card and go withdraw cash from a nearby ATM machine. quite embrassing too.
elisa : one of our friends came to rescue.
sweepy : that's funny. the restaurant manager (cashier) probably did not know. we haven't asked for the bill yet that time when i discovered my wallet is not in my bag. but probably they have guessed.
