We take train to Arashiyama and wander through the bamboo forest and then through the Tenryu-Ji temple prior to eating at the Kitcho restaurant, reputed to be the best in Kyoto-this restaurant is elusive but with the help of a the local constabulary we are guided to the locked front gate and are informed that it is closed, despite our confirmed reservation! We talk to a local rickshaw driver who kindly phones the restaurant who tells us the booking is for tomorrow-how we laughed-NOT. Back to town, lunch of Kurobata Schnitzel, shoppng, massage for CW and then the usual 17 course dinner, prior to which we are lucky enough to spy on a group of local salarymen being entertained by a geisha.
