“This ryokan struck me as a restorative haven, tucked away in Kyoto's Arashiyama district, far enough from the bustle but close to the river. I was especially drawn to the prospect of private cypress baths and in-room Kaiseki dining, a detail that suggests considered luxury. It seems ideal for those seeking a deeply immersive experience of Japanese hospitality.”
