Kyoto, in the rain

I wanted to go for the temples. I stayed for the rain on the temples.

then — before I went

Everyone says autumn in Kyoto. I assumed that was the kind of thing people repeat because someone else said it first, and I wanted to check.

now — what it was like

It was true, and not for the reason I expected. The colour is fine. What actually got me was three straight days of rain, which emptied the temples and turned the gravel dark.

Go in autumn. Hope for weather.
