MK Guide Recommends
Nazuna Kyoto Gosho is a luxury ryokan situated a short walk from the Kyoto Imperial Palace. The property comprises two expansive Kyomachiya (traditional Kyoto-style townhouses) that have been meticulously restored to blend historical architecture with modern comforts. Each of the seven guest rooms is uniquely themed around a different Wagashi (traditional Japanese confection), offering a distinctive cultural experience. Upon entering, guests are greeted by a lobby featuring an expansive ceiling, a remnant from the building's past as a lumber warehouse. The ryokan also boasts a serene Japanese garden nestled between the two townhouses, providing a tranquil retreat within the city. Guests can enjoy a Japanese breakfast in the dining/lounge area and complimentary beverages in the evening.
