So open and bright there, with the delicate foliage and amazing architecture. I was lucky enough to visit some years back (but your son was not there with a big sparkler that day!)
That is the place. My daughter and I were lucky enough to visit this past Jan with my son, his wife and daughter. Great time and a beautiful place. Actually I enjoyed many places in and around Kyoto.
