Kyoto (京都) – Hiiragiya Ryokan (柊家旅館) property and rooms tour

A property tour of Hiiragiya Ryokan (柊家旅館), a famed Japanese inn that’s in its sixth generation of continuous ownership and has been around since 1818. We booked two rooms – the “tokubetsu shitsu” (準特別室 – Special Room) in the Honkan (本館 – main wing) and a suite room in the Shinkan (新館 – new wing.) We also got a tour of the semi-tokubetsu shitsu (準特別室 – Semi-special Room for lack of a better term) before being shown our rooms.
