"After the ramen, we visit a place called Trunk House. Based on the traditional town house, or machiya, this hotel sits in “Hide-and-Seek Alley” in Kagurazaka, an area known as “little Kyoto” for its seclusion and charm, and has kept the sign of the geisha dance school it used to be. Inside, it is a wonder — the Trunk House has only one bedroom, meaning Mike and I could rent the whole building for a night. There’s a dark-wood open kitchen where a private chef prepares meals; a dining room; a garden that, at night, fills with water to reflect the moon; and a white-pleather-lined karaoke bar with a disco ball." - Travel + Leisure Editors
