“This stylish hotel overlooks the Kamogawa river in Kyoto. The smart guest rooms have screen-style headboards and dark wood accents, complemented by deep purple and blue soft furnishings. Soak in the hotel's open-air bath after exploring the Japanese gardens. An idyllic spot close to the city buzz.”
