Kyoto's Hidden Gem: Genhouin - A Macaron Kiss Across Time.

Kyoto, a city steeped in a thousand years of history and culture, is a spiritual baptism every time you visit. On this ancient land, Genhouin is like a gem 💎 sealed by time, quietly lying in the arms of Okazaki-cho, Sakyo-ku, waiting for the destined person to discover. Every brick and tile here carries the story of the years, and I am fortunate to be the listener of this story. The moment I stepped into Genhouin, it was like stepping into an unknown journey 🚀. Unlike the conventional matcha and wagashi, what came to my face was a touch of French romance - exquisite macarons, as colorful as a rainbow 🌈, drawing a beautiful arc between tradition and modernity. The butler, the "nameless poet" who guards the secrets of the mansion, leads me into the dusty history with his deep eyes and silent smile. This ancient house built in 1920 was once the residence of the Yamashina family, who were used by the royal family. The clothing patterns they designed for the court can still feel that gorgeous and solemn 🎨. My room is hidden in the last corner of the courtyard, in sharp contrast with the openness and transparency of the neighboring room. This is a private world, enjoying the tranquility and depth. The butler's service is like a spring breeze blowing over the heart field. Whether it is travel, dining or play suggestions, they are all arranged just right 🌟. However, the winter night of the old house reveals a bit of chill in the subtleties. Although the sound insulation effect is satisfactory 👍, the chill can still penetrate the wall-mounted air conditioner and Dyson heater, reminding the traces of the years. However, all of this has turned into nothing in front of that rich breakfast. Every bite is like the nectar of happiness, nourishing the soul. Genhouin, a place full of stories, those small flaws in the details are more like seasonings on the journey, making the memories richer and fuller. If you desire a luxurious experience of blending ancient and modern, and desire a journey to talk with time, then Genhouin is your best choice. Come on, let's experience the macaron kiss across time and feel the unique Kyoto charm 🌹.
