Kyoto

It's been 2 nights in Kyoto, and now 1 night in Osaka.

A garage with an automated car sorter! The lift plugs your car into an open spot and retrieves it when you want.

We went to the geisha area. Saw a show with geisha dancing (although I think these are apprentice), tea ceremony, flower arranging and puppet play. Outside in the streets of this area it felt like  hunting. There were people with cameras everywhere waiting for geisha to walk by on their way to appointments.

Night fire dancers 

Temple that I already forgot the name of

Same temple.

Other technology things: a refrigerator door that opens from either side. conveyer belt sushi with a touchscreen to order food, which then beeps when it arrives on the conveyer. It also had a slot for disposing of plates. When the subway is approaching, it plays a short tune that sounds a lot like a legend of Zelda medley. Oh and of course vending machines everywhere, some even give heated drinks in plastic bottles, that's different. Tallyhoe!
