Contemporary Classic & Quiet

One MICHELIN Key · A very special stay

The ryokan tradition might be one of the world’s longest-running hospitality genres, but in Japan, there’s a distinction between “traditional” and “old-fashioned.” And while Kanamean Nishitomiya has plenty of connection with the past — for one thing, it’s a 19th-century townhouse, a rarity in Kyoto — a stay here isn’t a trip back in time so much as it is an experience of Japanese hospitality stripped down to its essence.

After all, the owners haven’t been precious about outfitting their antique home with contemporary furniture. All seven rooms are tatami-style, which is as traditional as can be, but the house’s modern artworks and library full of books break the otherwise retro mood. And every room is individual, in its way, with differing layouts and décor, so no two stays are quite the same.

The urban location means it’s convenient as can be, while the townhouse setting isolates you from the city’s business. The highlight, as in any ryokan, is dinner, an elaborate multi-course affair for which you dress in traditional garb and follow a carefully prescribed routine. Here it’s been recognized with a Michelin star, which is no small achievement for a family-owned business such as this.

Stayed November 2024

quiet, personal, architecture and serene spaces to enjoy, yet homey and sophisticated

Luca

Stayed October 2024

Le parti comuni erano calde e accoglienti, piene di libri. La camera in pieno stile ryokan: indimenticabile col suo mini giardino e la vasca piena di acqua calda in una zona bagno tipo bagno turco. La colazione giapponese in kimono: altra chicca.

Stayed September 2024

The room was beautiful and the little garden outside of the room was immaculately kept. The food was the best food I’ve ever eaten in my life.
