kyoto hotel

kyotostreet1.jpgNow we have friends going to Japan, it is really a travel time of year!
This is where we stayed in Kyoto and we really loved it, not so much for the room, although it was in an orig­i­nal wooden house, a rare thing, not so much for the shared bath­room, although it was pre­fectly clean, not so much for the owner, he was a true eccen­tric, but for the loca­tion, stait in the center of the geisha quar­ters of Kyoto, it was lovely…if you stay in the cold months be sure to bring warm things to sleep in as the wooden houses are drafty! And ask for a room out front so you can hear the click of the geta (wood shoes) and sign­ing voices of the maiko when you fall asleep. This is not a fancy place but full of atmosphere.

    Hey! I stayed there! With you! And I liked the room. Sure, cold and drafty and things hang­ing off the hinges, but these places don’t come around that often any­more.
