Hi, RKHenry. You can get western food as well as the traditional fare in Kyoto. Lots of sushi available, if you like that. As you would imagine, there's even fast food establishments there, as well now. So, you can spend a little or a lot, depending on your tastes and budget.
I have not had the chance yet to travel to Kyoto myself, but the other places that I have been to have been the same thing - you can eat the stuff that locals do, which seems very strange to us, or you can get what you get back home. I've always found that if I go for a burger or something that it tastes different from the ones at home.
Thank-you for your comment.

Thank-you, Lgali! I appreciate you dropping by my Kyoto hub!
Way cool Herald. =)
I don't need to go to Kyoto so bad anymore... ;)
I would make one quick suggestion...maybe subliminally link to an article about Geisha? I know about it, but I'm sure not all means what it is exactly..or expand on the idea! =)
But otherwise, I can't spot any spelling errors and it kept me captivated. Thanks!
