Last year we dropped in on the Piece Hostel Sanjo in Kyoto, a youth hostel I’d heard about and had wanted to visit for a while, mostly because of its garden. If you need a budget place to stay in Kyoto, it looks great inside, and they’re building a new one opposite as well.
I love this contemporary Japanese planting, using a few exotics along with traditional native stuff, creating a beautiful sapped woodland effect. Enjoy the pictures!
