Kyomachiya Ryokan Sakura Urushitei, Kyoto Hotels
Traditional ryokan offering both Japanese and Western-style rooms, cultural workshops, private baths, and Kyoto-style dining options
Overview
Yomachiya Ryokan Sakura Urushitei offers a genuine immersion into traditional Japanese living right in Central Kyoto. This hotel is steeped in history, built on the same land where the long-established Ryuan Hatsusegawa produced high-quality Japanese lacquerware since 1792. It’s well-located for travelers, with Kawaramachi-dori Street just eight minutes away on foot and the Pontocho area a 15-minute walk.
The rooms at Yomachiya Ryokan Sakura Urushitei offer a mix of Western and Japanese styles, allowing you to choose the experience that suits you best. Grab the Sakura Suite, which accommodates up to four people and offers a Western-style twin bed alongside a Japanese-style area for futons, or opt for one of the maisonettes on the top floor that provide a rooftop garden view. Other options include the Mingei-style room, which captures the essence of a traditional Kyoto house, the teahouse-inspired Sukiya-style room, and the simple Shoin-style room with its simple, functional vibe.
Each morning, you can choose from Japanese, Western, vegan, or gluten-free breakfasts and end the day with a Kyoto-style Bento dinner if you’re not in the mood to dine out. Other amenities include a bar, private bath, and a cultural workshop where you can try your hand at flower arrangement (Ikebana), dress in traditional Kimono, or learn the art of calligraphy (Shodo). You also have the opportunity to experience the traditional Japanese Tea Ceremony, where the preparation and presentation of matcha, a powdered green tea, is performed as an art form.

An ancient way of life fuses with modern society in this bustling and iconic travel destination. Travelers fall in love (or renew their vows) with Japanese food and astonishing scenery of this mountainous archipelago dotted with modern cities.
When is the best time to visit?
Late spring and early autumn have traditionally been considered the best times to visit Japan, but more and more travelers are seeking trips to this mountainous county in the winter to take advantage of its snowy season. Skiers and snowboarders are flocking to Japan in December through March in search of the powdery, light snow the region is increasingly known for.
Where to go in Japan?
The possibilities are endless. Night owls will love the 24-hour food and drinking scene of bustling city centers like Tokyo and Osaka, older cities that are embracing the new with plenty of flair and energy. Rural travelers will enjoy the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Shiretoko National Park in the mountains of Hokkaidō and the balmy subtropical islands of Okinawa.
How many days do I need?
Since there is so much to do in Japan and travel within the country via the high-speed bullet trains is so easy, visitors can opt for trips of any duration. To do any justice to this amazing country, spend at least a week and ideally up to three.
Getting Around Japan
Most visitors to Japan fly into one of Tokyo's two airports, Narita International Airport or Haneda Airport (Tokyo International). Trains connect both airports to downtown Tokyo, and from there, extensive and efficient rail networks carry passengers to destinations on Honshu, Hokkaido, Shikoku, and Kyushu.
