Shenhao UP Lord

Chapter 208

After another day of rest at Mt. Fuji, everyone left for the next city, Kyoto.

"Compared to Tokyo and Osaka, I personally like Kyoto better." Xiaoya said to the crowd: "One drizzle afternoon sitting by the window of Yusanjia, watching the rain fall, time seemed to stand still."

“Only in Kyoto can you feel the tranquility that only belongs to the ancient island country.”

Seeing Shishi's eyes glowing, hmph, another young woman in literature and art.

"Yu Sanjia?" Ding Xu thought it sounded familiar. Could it be Squirtle, Bulbasaur and Charmander from Pokemon?
"I've already booked the Hiiragi House, where the Nobel Prize winner Yasunari Kawabata lived when he wrote "The Ancient Capital."

Xiaoya said with a smile: "The so-called Yusanjia is a century-old store, which retains the most traditional Japanese style, and is more flavorful than the current luxury hotels."

Ding Xu was looking forward to it, he was tired of the seven-star presidential set, so he wanted something different.

When we arrived at our destination, the lights were on. Looking at the ancient buildings everywhere on the streets, we instantly felt like we were in ancient times, and it felt like time travel.

Compared with the hustle and bustle of Tokyo, the evening here is surprisingly quiet, even the sound of birds flapping their wings and landing on the branches seems close at hand?
"This is the Hiiragi family?" Ding Xu looked at the ancient gate full of vicissitudes, why is there a similar one on the opposite side?
"Over there is the Yusanjia's oldest store." Xiaoya saw Ding Xu's thoughts, and joked, "The two stores are open facing each other. Does it feel like Industrial and Commercial Bank and China Construction Bank?"

Everyone laughed loudly, Ding Xu stood in the camera and said: "Brothers are amazing today."

"Have you heard of the legendary Yusan Family?"

"Not from Pokemon!"

"This is Kyoto, and behind it is the Hiiragi House in Yusanjia, a century-old shop over [-] years old. Today, Brother Xu will take my friends to experience what is called real Japanese tradition!"

With the light from the ceiling lights in the corridor and the light from the hotel windows, I walked on the stone path, walked through the slightly dark alleys, pushed aside the holly branches and leaves, opened the wooden gate, and my eyes suddenly became bright.

With the slight jingle of the rattle, I felt more and more pleasantly surprised to go from the world to the Taoyuan.A staff member walked towards him, greeted with a smile, and led everyone inside.

Xiaoya stepped forward to communicate with the female general, explaining that the Chinese media wanted to visit and make a documentary. The other party was very enthusiastic and agreed to film without saying a word.

"Cameras are very popular in island countries." Fat Tiger winked at Lao Zhang. In China, cameras are annoying to everyone, but here they all nod and bow whenever they see the camera?
A photographer's paradise!
Helping with luggage and changing slippers, Ding Xu even saw an old gentleman helping to wipe off the dust on the shoes while putting them away?
How embarrassing!
Just looking up, I saw a sign hanging in the center of the counter not far away: Those who come are welcome.

Suddenly I realized that this should be the way of hospitality that the Hiiragi family has always upheld for more than 200 years.I couldn't help but sigh in front of the camera: "Whether it's the Imperial Hotel or Yusanjia, although the style of the hardware is different, the service can definitely be described in four words."

“Home away from home!”

"Also ask the so-called five-star hotels in China to study hard!"

This sentence has been held back for a long time, and I have wanted to say it for a long time. Even if I have lived in the most luxurious seven-star Atlantis, the hardware is amazing, but the software service?
That's it!

Ding Xu never hesitates to praise the things he likes to admire. Good is good, trash is trash, so what should I be afraid of?
Coming to the front desk, after all, it is two hundred years old, and the decoration still maintains a simple but elegant Japanese style. Apart from the lighting, the cherry red bonsai on the ground is the only bright color here.

After checking in, I followed the maid to the second floor and walked in along the corridor. The floor actually made a creaking sound of loosening the wooden structure?
"Did you hear?"

"Is this called Vicissitudes?"

Ding Xu joked: "It looks a bit outdated, but in fact, whether it is architectural design or interior decoration details, it all reflects the care of old craftsmen."

“It’s this sense of vicissitudes of life that distinguishes it from other modern hotels and can bring the most special experience to guests, right?”

There are rooms on both sides of the corridor on the second floor, 21 rooms, the doors are small in some dim light, ordinary and unremarkable.

Until the moment the door was pushed open, Ding Xu's eyes lit up, and he had the illusion of being suddenly enlightened.

Whether it is the pattern of Hiiragi hanging on the wall or the small tea table facing the courtyard, it is small and exquisite.After the facing window is opened, there are landscape wells surrounded by the outside of the window, which really feels like an ancient garden.

See the big from the small!

"So beautiful!" The four vases exclaimed. They were a little disappointed at first. Is this the legendary Yu San Family?
But the longer the time, the more you can appreciate the beauty of the details. It is worthy of the 200-year-old heritage. It feels like every flower and grass is full of moving stories?

After everyone settled down, Ding Xu sipped the matcha and dessert, and said to the camera: "I wonder if everyone paid attention to the details just now?"

"The maids here will never turn their backs to you when serving!"

"The meal and delivery will not be picked up by the guests from a distance, but directly brought to you and served with both hands."

"When I leave the table after the service, I kneel down to say thank you the whole time. Then I always keep my front face facing you, half-bend my legs and support my upper body and slowly step back until I leave the table."

"Does it look familiar?"

"Is it like the feeling of facing the emperor in ancient times?"

"Please put your dignity on the public screen!"

The surface of the dumpling-shaped shortbread is smeared with icing sugar, and the inner core is filled with red bean paste. The mouthfeel is sweet but not greasy, with a crispy outside and tender inside...

Eat half a cup and then sip half a sip of matcha tea, the bitterness of the tea balances the sweetness in the mouth, this combination is just right as a snack.

Suddenly there was a rhythmic knock on the door, and it turned out to be a female general who opened the door?

"This is the sixth generation female general." Xiaoya introduced: "It is the responsibility of the current female general to go to the guest rooms to welcome the guests before the meal."

Ding Xu greeted politely, and chatted with the female general who has passed the age of a hundred through Xiaoya. Besides, the old lady knelt down to greet all the guests every day, and asked who else in the country?
Can I have a snack!

The price is not cheap, and it is worthy of the name of a century-old brand, but the charm of the old house lies in savoring it slowly.The whole atmosphere is quiet, but because of such delicate service, it is wonderful to make everything intimate and beautiful.

The accumulation of hundreds of years presents a quaint, Zen-like leisurely and calm atmosphere.And in this calmness, although it seems simple, low-key and unpretentious, as long as you slowly calm down and look around, you can feel the difference little by little.

Hiiragi is the osmanthus flower, and the decorative patterns are everywhere, conveying an elegant and quiet atmosphere. It is a hotel where people feel at ease and at ease.It appears not only on bedding and yukata, but also on Seto pottery such as tea bowls and rice bowls, as well as storage boxes and trash cans.

Plum vases from the Qing Dynasty, incense burners from the Ming Dynasty, and even an unknown ancient painting from the Song Dynasty...

Understated luxury!
