10 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.
