Sleep well in... Kyoto

2011-02-07T12:50:00.000-08:00

This is a guest post from ju-s (german-speaking) about our trip

to japan. Kyoto was one of our highlights...

Ein besonderer Übernachtungstipp für Japan ist das 'three sisters

inn' in Kyoto. Der Ryokan der Familie Yamada befindet sich in

einer idyllischen Lage, ganz nah an zwei wichtigen Sehenswürdig-

keiten der Stadt, dem Heian Schrein und Kuradani Tempel. Das

Gasthaus ist der perfekte Ausgangsort um die Stadt zu erkunden

und einen unverfälschten Eindruck auf die japanische Kultur zu er

haschen. Die puren Zimmer aus Holz, Papier und Tatami bieten

ein entspanntes Ambiente und die Futons einen erholsamen Schlaf.

Was man in Kyoto auf keinen Fall versäumen sollte:

den Besuch des Sanjusangendo Tempels; den Kopfsteinpflaster-

Rundweg durch Higashiyama mit kleinen Cafes, Geishas, den

Gassen Sanneizaka und Ninenzaka zur Yasakanoto Pagode, vom

Ryozenkannon zum Kodaiji Tempel; den Maruyama Park; den Be-

such des Nishiki Ichiba Markt; das National Museum of Modern Art;

den Shoren-in und Chion-in Tempel mit dem größten Tempeltor; den

Kinkakuji Tempel (Goldener Pavillion); den Ryoanji Tempel, mit dem
