A km ride through Kyoto — the prefecture, not the city. Farms in this lush countryside supported the ancient capital's unique cuisine and tea culture, while artisans used local wood and stone to craft tools for Kyoto artists. We take tea in an year-old teahouse, go deep in the forest with a whetstone craftsman to mine for stone, experience a 1,year-old drumming tradition, and finally, on the Sea of Japan coast, hear the story of a mother and daughter selling fish from their mobile store. But few leave the city to explore surrounding Kyoto Prefecture, a fascinating region in its own right. Who I'll meet along the way is unknown to me because I've never really visited this part of Japan before.
