Chapter 479:- Garden of Eden
By the time we reached the hotel by foot, it was another ten minutes later.

Because of the tight knit design of Japanese cities,
everything was accessible and nearby stations.
Our hotel was a cheaper hostel, mostly inhabited by young backpackers,
people who came and went, only pausing briefly for a night's rest.
Despite the budget and pricing, hostels were generally in good condition.
In Kyoto however, good condition was an understatement.

As soon as we turned on to the side street,
the low shingled roofs greeted us behind a quiet wall,
undisturbed by the bustle of the main city roads.
Right away, Kyoto's revered traditional culture welcomed us,
as if time had reversed, travellers out of place with our attire and luggage.

Through the gate, politely, cautiously,
we knocked on the sliding shoji-style doors.

"Welcome to Rakuen Ryokan. We are honored to be your host. We've been expecting you."
