“Ryokan Inakatei stands out as a portal into Kyoto's soul, nestled in the Gion district, where the air hums with history. The lovingly maintained building, a family affair for generations, offers something rare: immersion in tradition without sacrificing comfort. I particularly appreciate the thoughtful balance-sleeping on cloud-like futons after a soak in the communal wooden bath, a ritual of quiet luxury.”
