@alyx kyoto is beautiful .... looks warm & nice actually. a little early for the autumn leaves I suppose. I was there in november a few years ago and it was really amazing.
you should come again! I don't think it's that expensive at least if you don't move around in the country too much because trains cost a fortune. food is cheap these days. it's not super super cheap though ..it's always easier to travel when its paid for lol
