Departing London; little bit moist.

And in the same spirit as @janamarie, today I visited the International Conference Centre in Kyoto to appreciate the fascinating "metabolistic" architecture.
The home of the 1997 Kyoto Protocol, but its cuboid cousin in Tokyo is more famous: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyoto_International_Conference_Center
It's set in a lovely and extensive park, which was fun to explore.
Some more Kyoto ICC photos.

I know what we're missing: more telephones.
Some of these are imposters; they're not actually branded as NTT.

It's now time to catch a ferry to a tiny island just off the coast; requiring the negotiation of two buses to the middle of nowhere - that was a little strenuous.
This is really quite rural Japan!
I don't really know how you'd do this trip without Google Maps; it's extremely hard to find information about these routes unless you read/write Kanji. Even with Google Maps, actually finding the right bus is a challenge and requires Google Translating images.

@hugh GMaps also doesn't have all bus routes, twice I had to navigate my own alternatives, because it just didn't know a bus line I needed to take … the only one available.
@dahie Yeah, it can be annoyingly inconsistent.
