This is a popular walking route where you can enjoy the four seasons of Kyoto, going from Yasaka Shrine in Higashiyama Ward to Kodai-ji Temple.
In the immediate vicinity of Kodai-ji Temple, as you step through the hustle and bustle of the city and its many tourist attractions, Rinn Yasaka Kodaiji appears in a quiet alley that you would never expect to find right in the middle of the city.
As you open the lattice doors, you will be greeted by a space that feels like a little microcosm of Kyoto, decorated with incense burners and paper sliding doors.
The tatami room on the first floor and the inner garden that can be seen from the wood-floored room are lovely touches that will heal the fatigue of your trip.
The connecting 2nd floor rooms have beds and futons.
Family and friends can relax and unwind in a space that is decorated with gold brocade, Japanese paper, and other touches throughout, suggesting the glamor typical of Kyoto.
The interlinked "shippo" pattern of circles used in the decorative elements features concentric circles that are supposed to imply a forever unbroken and connected chain.
At Rinn, we used this motif out of our desire to have long and unbroken connections with our customers.
