One more thing. I gave some thought to the suggestion of just staying in Kyoto and day-tripping to Osaka. We might want to explore some Osaka nightlife, though not necessarily. We definitely want to dine in Osaka (mmmmm... my first taste of genuine Kobe beef and other delicacies). And, though the train journey is short, I want to make sure we can maximize our time in Osaka, getting a full day of exploring. Plus, I just want to stay at the RC there. But we don't want to stay there the whole time because, based on the same considerations, we want to maximize our time in Kyoto. We'll be doing some moving around, yes, but we'll manage. I appreciate the suggestion, though.
