Subject: Re: Hotel recs in Kyoto and Osaka?
Hello Mei-Ching and all,

I am going to Kyoto for the first time in three weeks. I am staying at an inexpensive business hotel - one of the Toyoko Inns - so cannot make a recommendation at this time.

However, I am curious why you want to stay three nights in each of those two cities which are about half an hour apart by train. Won't you be wasting a bit of time packing, unpacking, and checking in and out?

Whatever you decide, have a marvelous trip,

Mara
