The town of Seryo famously features in one of Japan’s most popular Kabuki plays (titled Sugawara Denju Tenarai Kagami, or Sugawara and the Secrets of Calligraphy). Seryouan is a hotel renovated from a 150-year-old traditional private house in natural surroundings. Summers here are around 10 degrees cooler than in Kyoto, and winters are a wonderland of silver and white. In spring, cherry trees cultivated by master gardener Sano Toemon (known as the Cherry Tree Guardian) make theJapanese garden here a lush riot of greenery. This is the ideal place for taking it easy with family and friends.
