“Away from the central bustle, but still accessible, this hotel proposes a different Kyoto experience, one that embraces community and local culture. Themed common spaces, like reading and game rooms, extend the living area, while the on-site fermentation facility offers a taste of regional flavors. I appreciate the emphasis on sustainability, too, from reducing food waste to community water stations.”
