Ryokan Sanga, KYOTO JAPAN
Thursday, May 01, 2014Walk with ChaMike in Japan | Ryokan Sanga
The moment we arrived at Kansai International Airport Osaka we went straight to Kyoto through a limousine bus for Y2,550 (around P1,100), after 90 minutes we arrived at Central Kyoto where we took a subway to take us to our hotel.
Ryokan Sanga is a relaxing traditional inn nestled in Central Kyoto. We were welcomed by a very nice staff and we're asked to remove our shoes and wear their hotel's slippers.

He helped us with our luggages and proceeded to the 3rd floor where our room was located. When I entered I immediately fell in love with our room, it was as if we were transported back to the Edo Japanese Period, the room felt warm and very homey.
Room
The floor was covered in tatami mats with two futon beds that were so comfy.

Dining Area
The dining area is located at the side during night time, then the Nakai (personal attendant) transfers it in the middle during day time.

Bathroom
The bathroom was the biggest surprise for me. On the internet it indicated there that it had no shower just a toilet, that the bathroom is said to be shared so all the time we where expecting to see just a toilet.

Meals
Ryokans often serve meals, in Ryokan Sanga they offer breakfast and dinner depending on the preference of their guests. Because I wanted to try their breakfast I ordered it on our last day in Kyoto.

After they fixed our beds, they then delivered our breakfast. It costs Y2,160 (P940), a bit pricey but hey it was all for the experience :)

You can choose between a Japanese breakfast and a Western breakfast, of course I ordered Japanese. It's consists of soup, fish, eggs, tofu, unlimited chahan (rice), fruits and other Japanese dishes that were new to me.

And because we were kuripots Mike and I decided to share the food (the reason why I was fairly satisfied). But I suggest you try it though just to experience it.

You can also take a glimpse of their zen garden area.
Ryokan Sanga is a home away from home. It is a place where you can perfectly rest after a whole tiring day of walking and sightseeing. A place that I will definitely come back if ever I visit Kyoto.
