I have spent an evening and half a day in Kyoto...

Old wooden houses in Kyoto.



Image from the hotel Grand Prince, Kyoto.

It looked like a nice Ryokan...

There are some nice areas in Kyoto. Along the river we found these beautiful old wooden houses with amazing entrances. Here you can find very nice restaurants and hotels also. Now it is high season and everything was fully booked, so we ended up a bit outside at the Grand Prince hotel, which was nice anyway....I liked the interiour design.

(But Kyoto is not a place for teenage girls... one of my girls was so bored that we went back with an earlier train...)
