My papa has suggested a trip to Kyoto, but I’m not sure whether to go.
This content is machine-translated.
For our previous overnight trip, he suggested a hot-springs getaway, and I countered, “If we’re going to the hot springs, why don’t we go skiing too?” So it turned into a ski trip.
This time, he suggested Kyoto, but said we’d only be staying at a hotel and didn’t plan to do any sightseeing.
He’s kind and a good person, but if we’re just staying somewhere with no real purpose, I feel like it would be a waste of time. The long amount of time I’d be tied up also makes me hesitant.
How should I respond to him? Thank you.
Maybe stay somewhere you can enjoy without even leaving the hotel? Like Nazuna Kyoto Tsubaki St., perhaps?
In that case, maybe it would be fine to spend the whole time at the hotel this time. But if there’s a temple you really want to visit, couldn’t you ask, “Can we just go there?” They might agree to one place.

Since you’re coming all the way to Kyoto, it would be a shame not to do any sightseeing.
What if I told my papa (a male supporter), “I’d love to visit Kiyomizu-dera, the temple known for bringing success in love, so we can grow even closer…”?
Do you think he’d make the arrangements?

It seems like a shame to go all the way to Kyoto and spend the entire time just at the hotel.
The area around Gion-Shinbashi is where Gion originated, and it’s lined with lovely restaurants. The food is excellent, but the atmosphere of the neighborhood is so enchanting that you’ll find yourself wanting to say, “Thank you, night fog, once again.” I definitely recommend dining somewhere around here. I’d suggest a mizutaki restaurant, though that’s entirely up to your taste.
It might be fun to discuss with your papa (a male supporter) which restaurant to choose. After dinner, be sure to visit a bar. It’s been converted from the former residence of a tea master, creating a luxurious space you rarely get to experience.

Being cooped up in a hotel the whole time makes me wonder what the point of going all the way to Kyoto is.
If you’re accompanying your papa (a male supporter) on a business trip, couldn’t you go sightseeing on your own during the day?

If it’s a really nice hotel where you can enjoy Kyoto without even sightseeing, that would be great!
But if there’s somewhere you’ve always wanted to visit while in Kyoto, why not ask, “Since we’re going all the way to Kyoto, is there anywhere you’d like to go together?”
You’d want to do some sightseeing if you’re going to Kyoto, right?

It’s a good sign that he’s suggesting something you might enjoy, so I think you’d be happy about it.
That said, I’m not really sure what your papa’s purpose is in going to Kyoto without doing any sightseeing, so it’s hard to say.
