JR Himeji Station -------> JR Kyoto Station (2210 Yen)

From Kyoto Station, walked approx 30 min. to Sparkling Dolphin Inn(because we were dragging our luggage and also took some time to find the place).

2 nights @ Sparking Dolphin Inn ~ 8280 Yen (4140 Yen / night). Generally, this place is clean and quite well maintained, but I think it is abit far from the train station.

The common area downstairs. There are 2 computers with internet access (100 Yen for 20 minutes). That was expensive and always have to wait for your turn. =.=""""""""""""""


A small kitchen area, washing machine and dryer (both are coin operated)......


Our tatami mat room. The staff did not allow us to pull our luggage on the tatami mat because worried that this will spoil that mat. :P

This area was very quiet in the evening, hardly could see anyone walking on the street. There are a convenient store and a drug store nearby.
