Kyoto
Today we are staying at the Westin Miyako in Kyoto. This is definitely one of the best hotels I have been staying at. It stands perched on a hill overlooking the city and is surrounded by temples and shrines. Rooms are amazing and the bathroom gave us our first try at the famed TOTO Washlets. Without getting into details, all I can say is that I am sold. If you want to know more, CNET has a good review of their flagship model, the Washlet S300.
Once cleaned and rested, we headed to Moritaya. This restaurant has been operating since 1869 and offers the best shabu-shabu in town. They have private rooms, but a better option is to share one of the rooms that overlooks Kamo-gawa, Kyoto’s main river. Outstanding experience! Many thanks to Georg S. for making me discover this delicious Japanese dish.
