Sansho the Bailiff(山椒大夫 Sanshō dayū)

A Geisha aka Gion Music Festival (祇園囃子 Gion bayashi)

Ugetsu aka Tales of the Pale and Silvery Moon After the Rain (雨月物語 Ugetsu monogatari)

Yeah the first night in Tokyo I slept on that staircase from like 6-9 am. It was definitely one of my crazier nights in Japan.

Thanks a ton! I really am inspired by your videos, so it's great to hear from you.

thanks a lot! : D

My first night there I was at a club with some people I had met until 6 or so in the morning. So I was walking around looking for some place to sleep, got tired of it and walked up some random staircase and fell asleep for a few hours.

Yeah I bet it'd be a little bit warmer there. I leave for Kyoto tomorrow morn for a few days while the sakura are still blooming. You ever been?
Thanks for the comment:D

I just watched your "Spring at the Windows" video, too. Really dug that, too. I've been to Kyoto a few times. The Kyoto JR station is a pretty awesome modern architectural work. My favorite temple there is the rock garden at Ryoanji. Kiyomizu is cool, too, as are the other famous ones, Ginkakuji and Kinkakuji. I wish I could recommend somewhere more off the beaten track, but I didn't stray too far from the famous places myself.
