The autumn time "illuminations" in Kyoto can be great photo opportunities, but be aware that they can be very, very crowded. Here is a shot from the bamboo forest in Arashiyama. What you don't see in this photo are the thousands of people around me. Think of a crowded subway train and then imagine it on the street. Get there early. (Photo by Paul Crouse/KyotoPhotoTours.com)
