It was similar to the Kaiseki dinner made up of many different tiny morsels of food although it was served in a single course. The most challenging was the fish in the upper right. It seemed to be smoked and still attached to the bones. After a brief struggle to detach the meat from the bones it actually didn't taste half bad. |
We actually had a tiny (but very deep) bath in our room, which we used for a quick soak in the morning before checking out. |
A nice view of our tiny garden. |
The fancy and modern Hotel Granvia Kyoto, part of the Kyoto Station. Owned by the Japan Railway, we got a 10% discount on our room with our Japan Rail Passes. |

Here is our room at the Hotel Granvia Kyoto. |

This is the fanciest toilet we had in Japan. |
