Place of Interest 1

Place of Interest 2

|---|---|---|
| Ecruteak City cultural landmark | Kyoto shrine, temple, museum, or heritage-facing district | Rooflines, stonework, lanterns, architectural close-ups, and landmark wides |
Why this made the cut

Place of Interest 3

|---|---|---|
| Ecruteak City texture and ambience | Kyoto side lanes, quieter corners, and supporting visual texture | Detail shots, lantern glow, path coverage, and atmosphere inserts |
