"Not only is it in a beautiful sympathetically renovated Kyoto town house, with wooden floors and beautifully painted doors and a lot of natural wood, but a business that aims to take steps toward sustainability, like reusable towels, no single use items, and renting out free bicycles to guests, when, of course, cycling is the best way to see Kyoto."
