Happy 4th of July! Here's an interesting Top of the Hour ident I've recently unearthed. I also edited out the original audio (which is the TotH theme with the announcer) and replaced it with a clean version of the TotH theme.

This is a 115-second-long video of a visit to Kyoto. Ligou said it was the best time for visiting temples and gardens illuminated by red maples.
This HD video clip deals with the very important Chion-in buddhist site, close to the Yasaka Shrine (Kyoto center). There is no garden but there are many temples to visit. In the main temple, one could hear a psalmody: a priest was repeating Amida, Amida..., the japanese name of the Amithaba Buddha.
One can also see the typical tank where special little sticks are burning; the smoke is good for lungs (Ligou and the loved ones checked the efficiency for asthma).
Video recorded between November 13 and 17, 2006, published to the Internet Archive on January 6, 2007.
