A Cat??? A Dog???

We have interesting colleague in our reception office now.
He is a cat. He doesn't have name yet.
Okami (the mistress of Ryokan) bought this at the Fushimi Inari Shrine.
It suppose to be the statue of Cat. However its face kind of looks like a dog...
He might be worrying something, thinking something serious or perhaps he is looking at us thinking "What are they doing here?"....
We don't know but also today. He keeps watching people passing by in our Ryokan....

Lucky Taxi

This morning, a yasaka taxi with pattern of a four-leaf clover came to our ryokan. Most yasaka taxies are with a three-leaf clover. Taxies with a four-leaf clover are only 4 in Kyoto city. We cannot make a reservation, so this is very lucky. It is said that this taxi bring you a lucky. If you ride on it, you can get a special certificate and sticker. When youcome to Kyoto, let’s find yasaka taxi with pattern of a four-leaf clover. May this picture bring you good luck!
