“I noted the blend of tradition and comfort throughout, particularly in the Japanese-style rooms that feature both tatami mats and modern amenities like hot tubs. Its location, near cultural treasures like Nijo Castle, makes it an ideal base for exploring Kyoto's rich heritage, while details like kimono dressing plans offer a deeper immersion into the local culture, in my opinion. Overall, it seems like a stay here aims to provide a distinctive and memorable Japanese experience.”
