A Week in Japan, Designed Around You
Tokyo → Hakone → Kyoto · seven days
The outer market at seven, then a morning with a knife-maker.
The train into the hills. A ryokan with its own onsen.
Lake Ashi at first light. Nowhere to be until dinner.
Into Kyoto. Tea in a townhouse down a lane with no sign.
The temples before the buses. Moss gardens after lunch.
A last long dinner. The car comes at nine.
