Rūto


A photo essay about a 9-kilometers walking route in Kyoto
It is important to note a few things. (1) It is recommended to walk it alone, the route only exists truly in one's solitude. (2) Walking should begin early to anticipate the awakening of the city. (3) The scenery found along the route is strongly influenced by weather, while it will not be better or worse, it will have a different impact on the body and the overall experience.
