Stayed at New Miyako Hotel - Kyoto, Japan.
Went to Daitokuji temple complex. There aren't too many people there during the week, so I pretty much had the tour guide to myself, which was nice. Note: most things in Japan are cash-oriented, and it's even harder to find an English ATM in Kyoto than in Tokyo-- and the one I found wasn't on Cirrus or Plus, so my ATM card didn't work anyway. But at least the streets have names and signs in English, which helps.

Stayed at Osaka Airport Hotel - Osaka, Japan.
Itami is the 'old' airport in Osaka. The area is mostly light industrial, so it's really just a business site. Most internal flights tend to land in Itami rather than the new Kansai International airport. To get to Umeda station you can take the monorail from the airport to Hotarugaike, then change to the Hankyu line to get to Umeda. From there you can take the Subway to Shin Osaka if you want to take a Shinkansen (bullet train) somewhere else.

Stayed at Sofitel Tokyo - Tokyo, Japan.
There are at present 2 Starbucks in the general location of the Sofitel - skip the hotel breakfast. Talk a walk down to Akihabara area - about 15 minute walk from hotel. There is a 24 hr. ATM at Citibank that accepts many kinds of credit cards on the main road in Akihabara area.
