Ep.79 We trade cramped, budget Japanese hotels for a night of opulence and indulgence at a ryokan outside Kyoto overlooking Lake Biwa. We give you a tour of our spacious accommodations at Biwako Ryokusuitei and share our 12-course traditional Kaiseki dinner feast and Japanese breakfast. Enjoy our outdoor hot spring onsen while we watch the sunrise. 🌟🍣🛀
