Hi, I’m Deedee! I'd like to show you my favorite places. One of them is my home … if you do really well in this quest, you could get a full-sized version of it! But where is my home? It’s near Kyoto, a city I love. Is this picture your dream of Kyoto?

Where is Kyoto? Near to mountains. There are east mountains and north mountains. I’ve flown over both. Here’s a picture I took! These are the North-Mountains, taken from the Hiei-zan, part of the East-Mountains.
While exploring a city, you met Choose a name.
Stiorra ♡ shook paws with Choose a name the Tabby Cat. They both received one silver mole!
Japanese people have a strong sense of heritage. This was first built in 1612. After bombing, it was rebuilt. Is this the newest old building in Kyoto? Or the oldest new building? I don’t know, but I’ve perched on the roofs many a time …

Well - most of Kyoto isn't like the earlier scenes any more. This skyscraper looks like it wants to be in Koyaanisqatsi ... you know, where the moon passes the skyscraper? I just use it to check my feathers are all in the right place after a long flight.
While exploring a city, you met tails.
Stiorra ♡ shook paws with tails the Grey Playful Kitten. They both received one silver mole!
Kimonos all have a MEANING. Hoomans think cranes live 1000 years. No, my uncle Kaito only lasted 205! Hoomans think clothes made of plants protect against things plants protect them from. So why don't they walk through nettles in a coat made of dock leaves?

Pufko gave you 1 "Jolie's Tears, Floating Crystal" size 8
Kyoto streets have trees for birds to perch in, and sidewalks for hoomans to walk on. This is Arashiyama, west of Kyoto. It’s a lovely place. Temples, shrines … and lots of titbits dropped on the street where I can pick them up!

Pinky Tuscadero gave you 1 "Lisa the Gourmet Squirrel" size 7
Kyoto hoomans make homes from wood and paper. Paper is made of wood. Why not live in trees? Hoomans fill their homes with art. But the pictures show things I can see from my tree! Hoomans puzzle me. I’ve tried having a house myself. I hope you win it!
While exploring a city, you met Autumn Fall.
Stiorra ♡ shook paws with Autumn Fall the Screech Owl. They both received one silver mole!
Autumn Fall and you found 5 "The Whatchamacallit" size 4.
Whilst they are running around between houses and shops, hoomans like to get snacks. I know all about that because as soon as they see me, they throw me a morsel. This is a coffee shop. Nobody has thrown coffee at me, so I don’t know what it tastes like …
While exploring a city, you met Winter.
Stiorra ♡ shook paws with Winter the Dauntless Dolphin. They both received one silver mole!
Hoomans hold hanami feasts under Sakura trees. So I perch in the branches and chirrup happily, and then they drop me some food, and I eat it, and then I go back in the tree and chirrup some more … how could a bird be happier? Sing, eat … sing, eat!
While exploring a city, you met Splash.
Stiorra ♡ shook paws with Splash the Dauntless Dolphin. They both received one silver mole!
Hoomans are always changing the landscape to make it look the way they want it to. As a bird, I like the landscape the way it is. But sometimes the hoomans get it so right, even I like what they have done!
While exploring a city, you met Lady Jane.
Stiorra ♡ shook paws with Lady Jane the Yellow Lovable Labrador. They both received one silver mole!

Stiorra ♡ shook paws with Mae the Angel Wing Butterfly. They both received one silver mole!
Mae gave you 1 "Jolie's Tears, Pointed, Tilted" size 8
This is a shrine the hoomans made, with a pool full of carp. I don’t eat fish (unlike my uncle Kaito), but I like hopping on the stepping-stones to see them. I saw Flounder here once … just after Joy was elected and he wanted somewhere far off to sulk in!

Stiorra ♡ shook paws with Arthur the Midnight Happy Dragon. They both received one silver mole!
Arthur gave you 3 "Jolie's Tears, Extra Large, Tilted" size 7
Japanese people think gardens are a place to relax and meditate. I don’t know what they think about, but I like to turn up and sing to them. Whatever it is they’re doing, they seem to like bird song while they’re doing it!
While exploring a city, you met Teeka.
Stiorra ♡ shook paws with Teeka the Black Feisty Fox. They both received one silver mole!
This is a very serious garden called a temple. I don't think I am supposed to sing here, and mother said it is very rude to perch on the railings. Especially if you do what birds do when they perch ...
While exploring a city, you met Skye.
Stiorra ♡ shook paws with Skye the Blue Beautiful Unicorn. They both received one silver mole!
Hoomans create some wonderful art. I don't know where those eight foot high mushrooms grow, or the three foot high butterflies. But it all looks very tranquil!
While exploring a city, you met sugar pearl.
Stiorra ♡ shook paws with sugar pearl the Snow Cheerling. They both received one silver mole!
Hoomans in Kyoto love wagasa. Sometimes they are painted with cranes or cherry blossom. Red ones ward off evil spirits. Purple is for long life. White ones are used at funerals. I don’t know what yellow ones mean, but a little yellow one would be just right for me!

Eddy Easter Bunny gave you 3 "Jolie's Tears, Large, Upright" size 7
North-east of Kyoto is a village called Shirakawa, where my uncle Kaito lives. Some of the farmhouses are 250 years old. The roofs are made without nails and withstand heavy snows. Some houses have silkworms in the attic, but Kaito hasn’t been able to get in and eat any!

You liked that view? Just travel two hours north of Kyoto to the Tango-hanto Peninsula. There are onsen (hot springs) and wonderful coastal scenery. There are sandy beaches with rocky capes, little farms, forests and mountains, joined by narrow, winding roads.
