This is our second evening in Kyoto. The ryokan has internet access, so I'm taking the opportunity to blog...this ryokan is certainly interesting, run by a slightly crazy obaasan....when we arrived we were told someone else had asked to stay an extra night, so we had to stay in a different room - extremely tiny (3 tatami mats if that means anything), for one person really, so when our 2 futons were down they filled all the floor space! The place seemed nice enough though, so we decided to stay, and managed to get a little money off the rate she offered us. on condition we could move to the proper room the next day...we have now moved, and the room is excellent, so no problems, except she tried to fleece us on our change when we paid (first time in Japan!). So, she's a bit dodgy, and also very disorganised, but the inn is OK, good location, free hot and cold drinks etc., plus she keeps giving us bananas to make it up!
