No
city in Japan can provide you with a more pleasant
stay in an authentic Japanese atmosphere than Kyoto
does as the city features numerous well-established
ryokan inns that date back to more than 100 years
ago. Each inn distinctively embodies the owner's
philosophy that is reflected in every aspect of
the property. A stay at a ryokan is far more than
just a place to lay your head for the night.
