Nestled on a quiet street in Kyoto lies Kinse Inn. The centuries old building has seen several lifetimes: first as an ageya where geisha entertained at dinner parties and banquets, then as a ryokan providing guests with traditional food and lodging. In 2012 it reopened with a cafe on the main floor and a private guest suite on the second floor. Guests can enjoy morning coffee, ikebana workshops, or the occasional live event.
