Hi, from google map, Ryokan Shimizu appears to be quite a distance from Kyoto Station. Do you rely on taxi, bus or just walk? Thanks

QUOTE(jepertine90 @ Dec 29 2013, 11:06 AM) is it ryokan or minshuku? I'm currently looking a traditional ryokan for us to stay in Kyoto area.. already booked 5 days minshuku, 5 days at friend house, but feeling like having an experience in ryokan, but the Ryokan I've searched is either pretty far and non-convenient or very expensive.. If you wanna try a true onsen experience, head over to Tenzan at Hakone ----------------------------------------------- side question, speaking of ryokan.. I'm still undecided either to stay in Ryokan or an Onsen Resort... Onsen Resort is expensive but if I want to try Onsen once..    |

For those who has been to Kodai-ji Temple at Kyoto before, is there really a bamboo groove garden there? From google map, looks like it is beside a cemetary..
