Shinsho-an
Mastering the art of serenity may be commonplace in Japan, but that doesn’t mean it’s not appreciated – especially when you encounter the flawless precision that awaits at Shinsho-an in Kyoto. The four-room hotel may be small, but it’s more than perfectly formed, with shoji screens concealing the televisions, warm wooden accents and comfy clothes to change into should your own attire be spoiling the zen. The garden is just as immaculate, with a table in the pre-dinner drinks space (offically a hanare) to reflect the greenery for added leafy calm. At the restaurant, you can leave the decision-making to the chef, since this is the place to try Kyoto’s famous kaiseki cuisine.
Shinsho-an is in Kyoto, in front of the gates of Nanzenji, a temple in the peaceful Okazaki district.
