emd - from your self-description, I am a few years older and a few sizes smaller.....plus I ate very irregularly when I was in Kyoto and lost a couple of pounds. I would have my green tea in my room every morning as I was getting myself together. I don't like to eat breakfast early so by the time I got to my destination sometimes it was too late or there was no place around for breakfast. Then some days I would have breakfast and an early dinner...

kappa, my night shirt was just like a man's shirt but longer at least on me...I am five foot one. It buttoned down the front. Maybe it was more like a long pajama top! When I stayed in Tokyo two years ago at a ryokan I had a yukata.

no not a happi shirt. It's like Mara said, buttons down the front. Short sleeves, collar with no buttons. Like a Hawaiian shirt but with big buttons.
Does anyone else get the feeling that we are just standing around and chatting in this thread while we're waiting for moxie to say her full report is ready?

With bottons in front, hmmm, I might have had one at a "business" type hotel in Kyoto although I don't remember for sure. I entered Kyoto Sun Hotel site where Marta stayed hoping to find the the shirt listed as in-room amenities and what they call it in Japanese but no, they list air-con, tea server, "shower toilet", etc but not the pijama shirt. This should not be as popular as yukata yet even at"business" hotels but sound more practical than yukata. At least with bottons, your front will remain closed when you wake up.

Regarding the sand bath it was lovely and not at all claustrophobic; I was too late for the mud bath I wanted (near the mud hell it's open only in the morning).
It was in Tokyo station that there are at least two tracks with the number 4. The one I wanted was for N'ex; the other I avoided
I feel cheated that I did not get a nightshirt in any hotel I stayed in.
We did venture out in our yukata in Beppu to cross the street to the private onsen. Of course upon our return to the room we saw that we had 'forgotten' to use the covering jacket and had used the wrong sandals...
I hope to post the trip report this weekend =)
