    I wanted to thank Japanese Guest Houses for helping me reserve the enchanting, famous Tawaraya Ryokan for my birthday. As you may know, Tawaraya Ryokan does not have a website, and it typically only accepts reservations by fax. What's more, there are only eight rooms on the first floor! I had thought it was impossible. Thanks to Japanese Guest Houses, I was able to secure a room on the first floor, complete with a wooden bath, artwork from the Muromachi Period, and my own garden to walk out into. It was a dream to experience Kyoto's 300-year-old, beautiful ryokan with its impeccable service and breathtaking history. Please reach out to Japanese Guest Houses if you need help, as I did. It will be a memory of your lifetime.
