Kyoto based Brit making music on guitar, and writing about history and mystery.

A while back I had an idea to write one page stories to match some of my guitar tunes. One or two people heard and read, but apart from that of course I did nothing else with it, because I'm a procrastinator. If anyone is interested in listening and reading drop me a DM.

A morning visiter behind the house today. Usually comes by at night, maybe getting more relaxed (or hungry).

So many photos from walking routes but didn't use them in the HIDDEN PATHS books. This route goes from Uji River to Hakusan Shrine in the Momiji Valley, Kyoto. If you're interested in a guided walk of the route don't hesitate to get in touch. www.hiddenpathskyoto.com #Kyoto

First place I visited in Nara today was Yakushiji. The buildings have had a lot of rebuilds and renovations over the centuries but the history dates back to 680. #Nara #Japan

The rain continues, through the night and into the morning. We've just had the announcement that the local dam, Amagase, is going to be opened to release some of the water, nothing unexpected or dangerous, just a notice to be aware that the Uji River level is going to rise. #Kyoto
