What the creator captured
Jeremy Jacobowitz considers Kyoto his favorite city in Japan because of its calm pace and intentional, seasonal meals. He was particularly impressed by the explosive juiciness of the Japanese Hamburg at Tokurou and the highly unique, sustainable fine dining experience at Lurra. He highly recommends the Ace Hotel for its reasonable rates and central location for exploring the city.
