“In my opinion, this is a restorative Kyoto escape with the added perks of private onsen tubs and thoughtful service. The location, while removed from the city center, provides a tranquil setting near temples; plus, authentic Japanese meals await those who reserve ahead. It's a peaceful retreat that I believe offers a uniquely immersive cultural experience.”
