Sorry. I did not get any interior suite pics. We unpacked quickly so my wife was hesitant of me taking pics. I'll try for a bonfire pic from floor number 4. Got a sense the place was pretty full with only several rooms not occupied. That is the reason we had a room to view the main bonfire. We did not occupy that room for evening. Back to our garden suite.

The Hotel has three breakfast options in the morning. According to our friends only the continental option offered in the lobby lounge is available to outside visitors. The buffet and Japanese style in the morning only host registered guests. We did the buffet each morning. The rate is 4500 yen plus service (13%) plus 8% consumption tax. A good deal as friend reported her father paid 2000 yen for coffee in Lobby lounge. We walked down to ask about the Japanese breakfast set but my wife really like the pastry upstairs. Everything was very fresh with eggs to order. My wife thought the grape fruit juice was the best she has ever had. OJ was good also. The selection was above average in offering. Not extensive. The only disappointment was grill salmon and tamago which was left out under a heat lamp.

We wanted to try but had to cancel tea service in the Lobby. It looked very nice. Wish we had made it. 6000 yen plus plus. The walk to the "center" of town aka Takashimaya department store was very easy. If you walk along the canal where merchandise was transported there is an EXCEPTIONAL photo stop with a wooden long boat that used to ply the canal. My wife said it was donated to preserve the history of the neighborhood. Make sure to walk the numerous dori aka shopping streets.

In terms of transportation there are no direct links (to Hotel) but the Keihan line bound for Demachiyanagi station (Kyoto) will bring you in from Osaka with a short walk to Hotel. Get off at Sanjo station which is second from last stop noted above. Exit 12 up and walk straight north. Cross the street once. You will see the Ritz on the left of the Kamogawa river. This exit has no stairs. According to my wife this is the easiest and most cost effective from Osaka. Works in reverse. The Keihan lines are know for being reasonable. No train change.

From the area take the subway from the Hotel Okura (3 minute walk) with one change to Kyoto Station.
