Bullet train sped us to Kyoto in no time.
Got to the hotel and found that the travel agent has messed up the booking and they didn't have a reservation for us. Also the hotel was fully booked. All in all, not a good experience.
The picture is of the Kyoto Tower Hotel where we're not.
Found another hotel a little further out thanks to the helpful people in the Tourist Information Centre. This one is better in that it does have internet access.
Got settled in the hotel and then went back to the station to look at the view from the 12th floor sky garden and get some food. Found the famous ramen restuarant Dai-Ichi Asahiramen, turns out it's about as big as our front room. Tucked into a bowl of noddles, pork and beansprouts - really tasty. Basically their fish and chips.

Dai-Ichi Asahi Ramen, is that the one with the mucky-yellow sign outside? I must say, the street view didn't look too inviting but the inside seemed pleasant enough, though the kitchen was maybe a it chaotic!
I'm glad the hear you're eating properly and not just chomping exotic snacks.
Well, homemade oatcakes for me for tea tonight. A right proper gobful!
