Most international visitors to Kyoto probably don’t know it’s a big-time college town. It may not be Tokyo, but there are some prestigious universities here with Nobel laureates teaching and researching. And of course, there are lots of students. At night, the banks of the Kamo River are a popular spot to hang out and down cheap drinks from one of the nearby convenience stores. The only problem: no public restrooms.
京都市に有名な大学があることは、ほとんどの来日観光者に知られていないと思う。京都に住む大学生がよくこの鴨川で飲み会する。安く済むから。でも大きな問題の一つは公衆トイレがないということ。川はあるけど…。
