We absolutely loved staying in SOWAKA, a luxury ryokan style hotel located in historic Kyoto. The traditional building dates back 110 years and was formerly a working restaurant. The classic property is located at the heart of Gion surrounded by cultural sites and picturesque streets. You’ll find serene shrines, cute boutiques, delicious little eateries, and artisanal markets all on your front step. Our sleek and spacious guestroom was perfect for a family of four. We made full use of the comfortable lounge and decadent bath and our children enjoyed having sliding screen doors which separated their sleeping area. Gion Loka, the in house restaurant, serves meticulously presented and delicious Japanese and Western breakfasts each morning and the Kaiseki fine dining experience was one of our favorite dinners in Kyoto. The luxury hotel values Japanese tradition and etiquette while adding modern western comforts to the suites ensuring a five star stay. A perfect choice for a luxury stay in Kyoto.
