THE BLOSSOM KYOTO
We stayed in the Premier Twin room and really enjoyed it. The cast iron bath was unusual and a little cramped but a very novel experience. The coffee station was really unique and some of the best coffee we’ve drunk in Japan. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay ...
