A wall of 2,000-plus books, curated for their ties to Kyoto, cascades down the lobby staircase of this modern minimalist boutique hotel in Shimogyo. The rooms are compact and deliberately spare, with a shared kitchen rather than room service, which tells you the target guest. Numabooks picked the library, a café sits at the bottom of the shelves, and the whole thing reads less like a hotel than a very well-appointed reading retreat.
