I loved this short movie. Or should I say, this docu-movie? I am sure it is half ad-lib and half script. The ad-lib is definitely Kimura Fumino visiting places, asking good questions, eating all these delicious food/snacks and just being a tourist. The script part is the one between her and her old uncle, which was just as fun and heartwarming as the rest of the story.

I definitely recommend this movie to anyone who likes Japan, specifically, Kyoto. People who has never being there will want to go there, like, tomorrow. It is a very traditional and cozy city, with people very proud of their old establishments (some as old as 100-years-old!) and food and water. People who was being there will definitely want to go back. I consider myself lucky enough to say that I've been in Kyoto during momiji season, so seeing the MC going to shrines and walking next to the river with the beautiful views of colorful trees was very "natsukashii".

Places I took note to visit, mainly because of the elderly bosses, are the shop with the kamamochi, the one with the mackerel sushi and the coffee shop.
