Experiences at Wayfarer
Wayfarer is testing the Winding Tree travel blockchain to make travel cheaper for travelers and more profitable for providers. Guests can learn about the traditional Japanese Kakishibuzome dyeing crafts through the Mitsuru Kogei experience. Mitsuru Kogei uses natural mountain water to create colors that ripen with age. The hotel collaborates with a kimono curator and award-winning makeup artist ATSU to reinvent the kimono experience.
“This hotel stands out for its immersion in local culture, offering traditional tatami rooms and unique craft experiences; its location, a short walk from key train stations and with a bus stop conveniently outside, simplifies getting around Kyoto. While simple, the clean, functional rooms and helpful staff make this a solid base for exploring the city's sights. A worthwhile choice, especially for solo travelers and those keen on experiencing Kyoto's authentic charm.”
