Kyoto - our last hurrah and the hotel

The next morning was our last day in Kyoto. Even after packing, we had time for a quick walk around the city and one last tour in the Shosei-En garden. D found the fish to be fascinating again. We got back to the station just in time to catch our train to the airport. We decided to save a few dollars and take the slightly slower train. This turned into two train changes with the help of some locals. We ended up at the airport with a little less than an hour to our flight, yet we still made it back. Korean Air was quite efficient. Overall, we had a highly successful and relaxing trip to Kyoto. We can’t wait to go back, but the rest of Asia awaits.
The pictures below are of our hotel which was a sight in and of itself. Kyoto station is quite impressive with over 50 restaurants and cafes even more shops. At one end is a theater that was playing Beauty and the Beast while we were there and Itsetan department store at the other end. It was fun just to explore and ride all the escalators.
