🍃 Kasuien | Another "ryokan" within a hotel
Kasuien, quietly nestled at the back of the Westin Miyako Kyoto, is a sukiya-style annex designed by architect Togo Murano.
Passing through the imposing cypress-bark gate, you'll find a space filled with a tranquil, Japanese aesthetic that will make you forget your daily routine.
