Green
Tea
We arrived in the night and fell, full of airline food into our beds. Our rooms in the New Miyako just across from the Kyoto Train Station, were cosily European, even with a fridge and tea making facilities. So we unloaded our pre-purchased “tipple of choice”, arranged breakfast cereals and other snacks (we had carried from Australia) then, after a cup of green tea, promptly went to sleep.

Our tour based itself in Kyoto, which meant we had an easy
time – no constant packing and unpacking with only an overnight bag for our
trip up into the Japan Alps. Of course
the serious danger of this strategy meant that our bags began to bulge almost
immediately. Kyoto was Japan’s capital for over 1000 years, so delightful
fabric (of society?) can be experienced on every corner, almost.
(Doing my research, I’ve discovered that a number of
venues we visited have changed since 2000.
So please don’t head off to Kyoto before ensuring that the places you
might want to see are still in existence. This is an excellent information resource for Kyoto.)
