Calm Japanese paradise outside of Kyoto
This wonderful place is a mix between a Japanese farmhouse museum and perfectly clean Japanese guest house. Especially the remote house with single Japanese rooms with common bath is a Japanese dream - located in a temple like garden inside a residential area - if you open the Japanese window you look into the garden hear the vibrating sounds of the forests nearby. You reach this ryokan with bus number 8 from Shijo (subway crossing), or with Takao bus from Kyoto station in 30-40 minutes (last bus 20h55/21h00, first bus from ryokan around 7h00). You can also use the Fukuouji bus stop, which is served by 4 or 5 bus lines (e. g. bus line 26 from Kyoto station), and then walk about 500m-1km following the road towards Takao valley. When I arrived, I was welcomed with a wonderful cup of Japanese Green Tea and a japanese soft/filled biscuit. Free WLAN internet access
