Reasonable early start and taxi to the train station to get the local train back to Hakone man station to get the 10.10 bullet train to Kyoto. Has to be said it makes the US MTA and UK WAGN look bad when you consider the punctuality and awesome design and speed of these things...

Once we'd checked into the hotel we wondered out for some Goyzo lunch and a Kimono and tea ceremony along with some origami which was fun. Once we'd changed back into normal clothes we headed out for a stroll to explore our new surroundings or Kyoto - which felt quite different and more upscale than Tokyo. Dinner was in a local, cool yakatori place.
