9 Tatami Hotels In Kyoto, Japan
Japanese architectural traditions are as old and deep as the country's own history. An important concept and the basis of traditional Japanese architecture is 'tatami', which regulates a building's dimensions and size and originated in ancient Japan when straw was used as a softener on bare earth. The idea transformed into that of moveable mats which eventually became permanent floor covering later on. Tatami is so common in Japanese homes that room sizes are measured by how many tatamis fit in it. Today, tatami is also used as flooring material in traditional Japanese inns of Ryokans and are also called as Kyōma in the Kyoto region (for their specific size). Moreover, one needs to walk into tatami rooms barefoot, sans any shoes or slippers! If you're visiting, here are some must-stay-at tatami hotels in Kyoto, Japan.

New Designer Hotel That Focuses On Food In Kyoto, Japan
Kyoto is located in the Kansai region of Japan. This city is home to numerous temples, shrines and architectural treasures. Fushimi Inari-taisha is one of the famous shrines in Kyoto. The rows of torii gates, also known as Senbon torii, is the main highlight of the shrine. It is customary for people to donate a torii gate in order to express gratitude for a wish, or for a wish to become true. It takes approximately two hours to walk up the shrine as it has around 10,000 gates. Fushimi Inari-taisha was also featured in an iconic scene of a popular movie: Memoirs of a Geisha. For some quiet time away from the crowd, visit Kennin-ji Temple and Tofuku-ji Temple.
