a day of self care in kyoto

lucie took a train to the western outskirts of kyoto to watch the sunrise. then she immersed herself in the bamboo forests.

because lucie arrived so early on a weekday, it was virtually empty.

"It has got to be one of the most peaceful and serene places in the world."

next, lucie treated herself to a shiatsu massage.

it is a form of japanese body work that translates to "finger pressure."

lucie had a cup of green tea before the massage.

It was truly a full day of relaxation and revitalization. Thanks for coming along!
