Though it was disappointing to have walked a few blocks to find the K's House fully occupied, and went through a slight panic attack when all the other guesthouses in the vicinity were also fully occupied for that night, we were very glad to have found Kyoto's Cheapest Inn.
It was run by an extremely obliging staff, who not only gave us discount coupons to different kinds of Japanese restaurants patronised by the Japanese themselves, and even put up information about Aoi Matsuri that we so luckily chanced upon.
And for just 500\, we get to rent the bicycles for the whole day. Though we didn't visit that many temples in detail, it was such a pleasant day to weave in and out of the streets to look at the houses, the shops, the temples and not forgetting the ride to the outskirts and down by the river.
From the self-suffient pantry with oven, toaster, refrigerators to cutlery and utensils, they have everything you need to cook up a storm. Though the bathroom is no longer than one metre long and half a metre a wide, it is amazing the comfort it can give you.
Compact and mimimalistic - and definitely without clutter.
I can't wait to upload my photos onto my blog. Wish I had been more serious in packing my things before the trip.
Japanese pickles - ancient style
Japanese rice - of various quality
Tamagoyaki - my all time favourite
Quaint Japanese houses
