Travelling to Kyoto can be a great way for you to experience an interesting culture that is packed with tradition. But with all of the different accommodation types available, why choose a bed and breakfast (B&B) over all the others in Kyoto? This blog post will explain some of the sources of appeal for B&Bs during your visit to Kyoto.
The first reason why you should choose a B&B during your time in Kyoto is due to the unique aesthetics each and every bed and breakfast has to offer. Most B&Bs in Kyoto provide a unique aesthetic, depending on the style of their design which usually pays homage to the original history and culture of the city. This allows you to enjoy a Japan-esque experience with intricately detailed woodwork, shoji paper windows and blooming bonsai trees in the garden. There is no other lodging experience quite like a B&B in Kyoto.
Another reason to choose a B&B is that they provide a home-away-from-home feel. Many B&Bs are owned and operated by families, so you can expect to be warmly welcomed into a highly curated environment of culture and hospitality. Much like the traditional ryokan inns, the welcoming respectful atmosphere of a B&B will make your stay in Kyoto more enjoyable.
Finally, B&Bs can be a great choice when travelling due to their location. As many of the B&Bs are guesthouses from historic districts, you can usually find them in high demand areas close to attractions and amenities, making it very convenient for your sightseeing plans. You can also expect cleanliness and safety as many B&Bs take great care in ensuring guests have a secure and comfortable stay.
In conclusion, choosing a B&B for your time in Kyoto can be an excellent choice for those wanting to experience a unique cultural immersion and a home-away-from-home feel. With their unique aesthetics, hospitality and convenient locations, you can be sure to have an enjoyable and memorable stay in Kyoto at a B&B.
