Messe is located in the Esuka underground mall at JR Nagoya station.  It is packed full of Totoro products. Studio Ghibli and Totoro fans would be in heaven.

Konchi-in - Kyoto (Panorama)

Japan trip 2012.

274
Konchi-in is a fine stone garden in Kyoto, close to Nanzen-ji.  Its probably my favorite garden in Kyoto.  I tried to take a complete 360 degree panorama photo using the Photosynth app for iPhone.

The full effect is best viewed on the photosynth website were you can rotate and zoom the viewing postion.

Its a very impressive app for iPhone.
