"Visiting Kyoto's temples gives you a taste of the city's history, but staying in one is a more intimate way of experiencing the past. ... Rooms are comfortable but appropriately ascetic."

"This is a shukubō, or temple lodging, at a subtemple in Myōshin-ji. It’s very comfortable and quiet and the main priest here speaks fluent English."

Recharge with a facial or body treatment at Sothys Skin Care Salon on the third floor, or savor Jing tea and truffles at the Mayfair Tea Room.

Time Out
"The setting can’t be faulted: the 501-room Westin sits against a verdant mountain and boasts gardens by master Jihei Ogawa and his son."
