Kyoto Day 1 - Family visit

As part of our tour, we visited a local family in Kyoto.  The wife had a lot of kimonos, and she dressed Marge and Ann in 2 of them. Here's a photo of the couple with Ann and Marge:

In the kitchen, they had food storage in the floor:


She had a special bin just for rice in the kitchen. There is a cup in the side of it so she can get a cup of rice with a press of the button:

Here's a photo of their house which they had rebuilt. One wall is curved to follow the curve of the creek that runs along the side of the house.

He took us across the street from his house to his liquor store and gave us a sake tasting as a send off.  He also gave use a set of tea cups to bring home.
