Air date: Jun 02, 2025

Kyoto is known for its temples and shrines, but in this episode we feature the story of water that saturates everyday life in Japan's ancient capital. Water has had a deep relationship with Kyoto's traditions cultivated over its long history, as well as its development in modern times. We take a tour of Kyoto where water from a canal and from underground quenches the lives of locals.
