About

Tawaraya Ryokan is Japan's most storied inn — open since 1709 and still run by the same family across 11 generations. Set in a maze of ancient wooden buildings in the Nakagyo district, its 18 rooms (no two alike) have hosted emperors, the Rockefellers, and every major artist who has passed through Kyoto. Garden-facing rooms overlook moss-covered courtyards; meals are the city's finest kaiseki, prepared to an exacting standard that has influenced Japanese haute cuisine for three centuries. A stay here is not just accommodation — it is a primary encounter with living Japanese culture.
