Kyoto is beautiful this time of year. I'm really glad I brought my sketch book. There is a ton of inspiration. See?

Sanada's grandfather finally got back with me. He thinks we should focus on the Ichiriki Chaya. Something about it being one of the oldest and most famous of the tea houses here in Kyoto. Though, he did mention that there might be some issues getting in. I guess we need to know people to get a reservation or have a bloodline that extends far enough back where one of our ancestors have a good relationship with the tea house.
So, I'm going to see if using Sanada's grandfather's name gets us in. If not, then Tezuka, you should try yours. If that fails, then we'll break in after it closes. That should be relatively easy, right? Regardless, we're getting this thing done tomorrow even if it means I knock everyone in there out and we just waltz right through the front door.
