Three sides is circled by Kyoto city in the Kyoto basin in a mountain, the inland where the difference in the temperature is great in a season and day and night type climate. To the extent the spring and the autumn are easy to spend relatively, but for a wind to be interrupted at a mountain, the sun is also strong sultrily, and a word as "sultry weather of Kyoto" has summer from the special climate on which I blaze down. The coldness by which winter also feels chilled to the bone continues.
