Subscribe to an experience of charming hospitality, tranquillity, and well-being at Sowaka, a remodelled ryokan in Kyoto, where everything, including its name, exudes happiness. Nestled between Gion and Yasaka, this new retreat displays nostalgic charm and contemporary elegance within its green courtyards and stately rooms. Guests will find cosy comfort across 23 rooms and suites in its main and annexe buildings, lavishly adorned with local interior decor accents while featuring amenities such as air-conditioning, minibars, king & queen beds, refrigerators, ensuite bathrooms with bathtubs and showers, Wi-Fi, and some rooms with open-air baths. The La Bombance Gion restaurant lies at the heart of gastronomic affairs in the ryokan, dishing out stunning Japanese fares created from freshly plucked regional produce. A well-stocked bar ensures guests can quench their thirst with fine cocktails and exotic drinks, while the lobby lounge is for socialising, relaxing, and thumbing through its book collection with a cocktail in hand. Feel the gentle breeze of Kyoto trigger goosebumps on your skin on the rooftop balcony as you admire the scenery of Kyoto. A Japanese garden is within the hotel's confines to explore and admire its flora, and when in the mood to relax like royalty, soak in one of the open-air bathtubs. Venture outside your door to explore numerous attractions, with the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Kiyomizudera Temple as a foremost, must-visit destination.
