My job is sending me back to Japan for little over a week to take care of a few things. In all honesty it's just to meet with some of the companies we work with, shake a few hands, and exchange business cards.
I'm planning to make numerous stops on the way to and from the Fukuoka/Kitakyushu City area. However, I will be spending 3 days, 2 nights in Kyoto to do my own thing. Is there anything in Kyoto I should see as far as car related stuff? I just found out I'm going back this past Monday, so I've done little research.
I wasn't able to stop in Kyoto last trip (Oct 09), so I figured this trip would be a good opportunity to check it out. I'm interested in all the castles, and temples, but it would be nice to see a few automotive shops/stores if possible.
Anyway, I never got around to posting my own photos from the 2009 trip, so here are a few. Maybe some haven't gotten tired of photos from Japan yet. :)
Almost there... sorta.

I'll keep adding more later today in between things at work.
