“This restored Japanese house offers a charming, old-world experience, especially for those seeking unique accommodations near Nijo Castle and the Imperial Palace. The comfortable rooms, some with private gardens or kitchens, provide a cozy retreat. Be aware that the traditional design means common spaces can be chilly in winter, but the overall atmosphere and helpful staff create a memorable stay.”
