Ken,
Thanks for the report and 'souvenirs' from Kyoto.
I've stayed in all sorts of accomodations in Kyoto from the Hotel Granvia Kyoto in the JR railway station to a couple of traditional ryokan inns with tatami/futon sleeping arrangements and 'sukiya' style rooms.
You feel like a nobleman in Kyoto.....
