Hi Mende,
Just want to say thanks again for your help with the above.
Came back from our holiday yesterday morning.
We had a great time and really enjoyed the tours and the Ryokan experience in Kyoto @ Arashiyama, in particular.
FYI, at the last moment, I ended up hiring a Pocket WiFi from JR for the week (3GB download per day) which was super important when travelling with teenage kids; they were constantly taking photos with their phones and messaging with their friends.
Thanks again
Alan
