 The ancient capital of Japan for over 1, 000 years, Kyoto remains the most
historically important city in Japan. Although there is so much to see and do
in Kyoto, even a short-time visitor can soon get an appreciation of what this
ancient capital has to offer. This ryokan is right in the centre of Kyoto and
just front of the front of Yasaka shrine.
There are over 1, 700 Buddhist temples, 300 Shinto shrines, palaces and gardens,
and some of Japan's top museums and galleries located in this city. Any guest

and by staying at a ryokan gives the extra special atmosphere that Kyoto has to
offer.
There are two Japanese traditional buildings with a bamboo grove.
