About this property
Perfect Location - Best area of Eastern Kyoto - comfortable family accommodation
Sakara - the characters mean 'cherry blossom', 'aroma', and 'ease/comfort' -- Sakara is unique and original with Japanese decor, private restroom, bath, laundry machine, kitchenette, and high quality western queen sized beds. Free wireless internet signal, local TV, and local phone line standard. Sakara has a common tatami room next to the lobby overlooking a Zen garden. The first floor tatami lounge has complimentary coffee and green tea for guests. We want you to get the most out of your trip to Kyoto. With that in mind we have designed this accommodation especially for the foreign traveler in Kyoto. Traditional styling is important to us, so we have incorporated the Japanese elements we love with an eye to Western comfort. You will enjoy the feel of a classic historical machiya building; natural wood, plaster, paper, and tatami highlighted with Japanese art and furniture.
The Best of Both Worlds: : *** Sakara offers you the convenience of a hotel or Ryokan with the privacy of a house rental. The kitchen allows you to cook as you like. You can do laundry and take a hot bath.
*** Japanese feel and decor are complimented with highest quality bedding, High ceilings and doorways, and personal touches. Art and antiques blend the modern with the traditional.
*** Sakara is walking distance from the Gion district, shops, and subway. There are many nearby cafes and restaurants.
Sakara is great for families. If you have a larger group please contact us for information about other options as well.
*** The Bamboo Suite is ideal for a family or group of four guests.
*** Please contact us directly about discounts for longer stays or options for larger groups.

About the host
Hosted by Mike, reservations manager
We have been renovating - and living in - traditional Kyoto buildings for over 18 years. Mike first came to Japan in 1997 for a working holiday, and fell in love with the city, while Yuko originally comes from Osaka. We want to share our city with you.
Why they chose this property
We designed and built Sakara in 2009, when holiday rentals were not yet so popular in Kyoto. During this ten year period we have seen eastern Kyoto explode in popularity, and we know why! The area around Higashiyama is the best place to use as a home base while you explore the historic town of Kyoto.
What makes this property unique
Stay with us and you get the added benefit of being able to ask bilingual Kyoto residents questions that you need answered.
