It's only a short walk from Kyoto Station, but Suzaku garden feels like a world away from the bustle of the city's busiest train station.

For this first episode of Kyoto, in Sound, I spoke to Rumi, who grew up in Tokyo and now lives in Kyoto, about her favourite sound in Kyoto and she takes me back to her childhood summers spent in Suzaku garden with her grandmother.

Through field recordings and storytelling, we explore how a single place can hold memories that span decades.
