     Kyoto is such a great place. Too bad I do not have time for the Imperial Palace. I will go back there for the cherry blossom. Thanks for sharing.    		aussiedoug Wed Jan 14, 2004 13:08 UTC
     Great Tips Sharrie. We were in Kyoto during our honeymoon (b4 4 weeks in the U.S.A.) & also stayed at the New Miyaki Hotel. Kinkaku Ji really is special
