A five-star experience behind a three-star listing, Ryokan Ryokufuso sits on a calm Kyoto sidestreet walkable from the station, two minutes from a bus stop and three from a store. Tatami-and-futon rooms — some with balconies facing Kyoto Tower — meet an amazing onsen with a fine cosmetics selection, a delicious Japanese breakfast and a host who learns guests' interests. A smoking shelter sits just outside.
