The homestay is located by the eastern city wall of the time-honored Datong Ancient City. It is in close proximity to attractions such as Taiping Building, Nianxia Art Center, Nine-Dragon Wall, Guandi Temple, Ancient Opera Stage, and Daiwang Mansion.
Drawing inspiration from Japan’s traditional "ichiboku nishoku" (one night, two meals) accommodation model, Jing Kaiseki • Jiushi offers a package that includes one night’s stay and two accompanying meals—dinner and breakfast. This package is extremely popular: it not only provides accommodation but also serves traditional Japanese cuisine, allowing guests to enjoy a comfortable stay while experiencing the charm of Japanese food. "Ichiboku nishoku" is also an excellent way to relax both body and mind.
Dinner here is centered on kaiseki cuisine, while breakfast may feature a traditional Japanese spread, including miso soup, rice, fish, and vegetables. Beyond breakfast and dinner, Jing Kaiseki • Jiushi also offers additional services such as afternoon tea, late-night snacks, and a bar. This one-stop integrated service is what makes the establishment uniquely distinctive.
Housed in a two-courtyard compound covering over 900 square meters, the property features only four guest rooms—with more space allocated to public areas. These include a reading area, a bar area, a yakitori (late-night snack) section, an outdoor terrace, and a sunroom. Such a layout enables guests to savor a variety of delicacies without stepping out of the compound. The goal is to let guests calm their minds from within once they enter the courtyard and fully immerse themselves in the "ichiboku nishoku" travel experience.
Key Notes:
1. Ichiboku nishoku: Retained the original Japanese term (with a Chinese-style phonetic translation) and added a parenthetical explanation ("one night, two meals") to ensure clarity, as it is a culturally specific concept.
2. Kaiseki cuisine: Used the standard English term for "怀石料理," widely recognized in international culinary contexts.
3. Cultural/architectural terms: Translated "两进四合院" as "two-courtyard compound" (accurate for traditional Chinese architecture) and "烧鸟区" as "yakitori (late-night snack) section" (linking the Japanese dish to its function as a late-night food spot).
"Lovely japanese-inspired hotel in Datong old town, newly-built or renovated. Very nice breakfast. We had an issue with our room and they graciously moved us to a different one. Also helped organize a day-trip to see the temples in the surrounding area. Recommended."
