We were shopping on Teapot Hill, just down from Kiyomizu-dera in Kyoto, when the skies just opened up. We took shelter in a store for awhile, but when the rain didnt let up, we had to run for the next bus which ended up being a loooong way away. The saleslady in the store with the light on gave my sister an umbrella after we asked her where the nearest bus station was. She was awesome.
