SOWAKA

Kyoto, Japan

Sowaka Kyoto is a beautifully reimagined ryokan tucked into Kyoto’s iconic Gion district. With creaky wooden corridors, sliding shoji screens, and modern twists like minimalist annex rooms, it’s got all the charm with none of the stuffiness. The on-site Loka Gion restaurant is a feast for the eyes and the belly, serving artful Kyoto cuisine. Just steps from temples, shrines, and geisha-dotted streets, it’s a serene base with a dose of understated cool.
