Experience: Opportunities to explore Kyoto's culture

“A ryokan-style stay here lands you in a less-touristed pocket of Kyoto, trading bustle for local charm, and I appreciate that. The crafted interiors echo the city's design heritage, a serene counterpoint to days exploring nearby attractions such as Nijo Castle. Free access to a local bathhouse and loaner bikes expand the appeal.”
