"A storied Kyoto ryokan founded in 1818 and run by multiple generations of the same family, this heritage inn offers an immersive traditional experience—low lacquer tables, sliding fusuma doors, pristine shoji screens, and multicourse seasonal kaiseki. Guests can watch white-eye birds in a private camellia garden, dine in-room on dishes like abalone with miso egg yolk sauce and sea urchin chawanmushi served on Kiyomizu ceramics, and sleep on freshly laid tatami in one of 24 carefully tended rooms." - Yukari Sakamoto, Adam H.
