Leaving Mount Fuji, the next stop in Kyoto, if the place that best represents the traditional culture of the island country is definitely the only place.

On a drizzling afternoon in Kyoto, I sat by the window of the house.

Watching the rain fall, time seems to be still.

It was here that I clearly realized that this only belonged to the tranquility of the ancient Kyoto.

——Yansei Kawabata

After arriving at the destination, he had already started to set off his lights and chose the legendary samsaki, one of the three lords. Mr. Yasunari Kawabata lived here when he created the novel "Ancient Capital".

It has a history of nearly 200 years and has become one of the most popular traditional hotels in the island country. What’s interesting is that opposite the Shizuo family is the oldest and most famous house among the Yusan family.

Island version of Industrial and Commercial Bank of China vs. Construction Bank?

Compared to the noisy in Tokyo, the evening in Kyoto is surprisingly quiet, and the sound of birds flapping their wings falling on the branches seemed to be close.

With the ceiling lights in the corridor and the light from the hotel windows, I stepped on the stone slab path and walked through the slightly dim alley.

Huimei pushed away the holly branches and leaves, pushed open the wooden fence, and suddenly brightened her eyes. As the bell slight jingle sounded, she felt more and more a surprise in her heart from the world to the paradise...

Shortly after the ringing of the bell returned to calm, the receptionist smiled and appeared in a unique humble manner, helping to carry his luggage and change slippers. An old man even helped to wipe off the dust on the upper while he was putting off his shoes.

Johnson looked up and a letter was hanging not far from the center of the counter: Those who come are as if they are home. Suddenly, they realized that this should be the hospitality method that the sage family has always adhered to.

Entering the foyer and at the front desk, the decoration style is simple but exquisite. In addition to the lighting, the cherry-red bonsai on the ground is the only bright color here.

Following the waitress to the second floor and walking along the corridor, the floor began to creak and loose, exuding a scent of vicissitudes.

Whether it is architectural design or decoration details, they all reflect the care of the craftsmen in the old days. It is precisely this sense of vicissitudes that different from other modern hotels, which brings people the most special experience.

There are 21 rooms on both sides of the corridor, with the door heads very small and inconspicuous. However, when the door was opened, Johnson's eyes lit up, and he felt like he was small and had a unique feeling.

Whether it is the scutellar pattern hanging on the wall or the small tea case facing the courtyard, although it is small, when the window is opened, there is a scenic well surrounded by all sides outside the window, which really has the taste of Suzhou gardens.

Seeing that the guests were settled almost, the waitress brought the welcome matcha and desserts to refresh Johnson's understanding of the details again.

I will never turn my back to you, and I will not let you pick it up with my hands, and directly bring it to you, and then serve it with both hands.

When you leave the seat after service, you will say thank you in a kneeling position, then always face the guests, half-bent your legs, arch your upper body, and slowly retreat until you leave the seat.

The surface of the dumpling-shaped shortbread is frosted with icing, and the inner core is filled with red beans. It is sweet but not greasy when you have a crispy and tender texture on the outside. Then sip the matcha, the bitter tea aroma is mixed with sweetness in the mouth, and the combination is just right.

Just after finishing the snack, Yingying walked into a beautiful kimono after knocking on the door, knelt down dignifiedly, and introduced herself that she was the sixth-generation female general of the Shijia Hotel.
