Garrya Nijo Castle Kyoto
Video Tour by @travel_homage: I stayed here during autumn and it was magical. The location right by Nijo Castle is unbeatable, but the hotel itself is so peaceful. Walking through that bamboo corridor every evening made me feel like I was the only person in Kyoto. Truly a hidden sanctuary.
