I have stayed at The Hotel Seiryu Kyoto Kiyomizu a few times. It is a beautiful hotel, converted from an old schoolhouse. The interior rooms are all paneled materials, very high-end, and the common spaces are beautiful. It’s right in the heart of Kiyomizu-dera. The K36 is the rooftop bar with great views of the Kyoto skyline.

Sushi Ginza Onodera

Dinner was at Sushi Ginza Onodera at the Four Seasons Hotel. I love how they present the fish in a box before preparation.
