Hi @Cyclo, it's our first time doing this walk but I believe it's fairly well known and runs between two small towns. It's lined with temples and also a little Buddhist restaurant which I am keen to try. Great vegetarian food I've heard.
Unfortunately I expect we will have lots of company so no chance of getting lost.
Yes, I'm also watching the news! We leave 3 weeks on Monday.
Make sure you go to Gion in Kyoto to see geisha. Theres a few beautiful streets in the Gion which are lined with wooden buildings and lanterns. It's like stepping back in time. If you go late at night (after 9) you should see some geisha moving between engagements. They are just lovely but very elusive! Jane xx
