Tofukuji Sakura is a laid-back, well-designed, machiya-inspired Kyoto home with plenty of attractions, charm, and style. With exposed wood throughout, earthy-colored walls, a modern kitchen and quaint, but elegant Japanese flourishes, like the earthen exterior, tatami-mat flooring in various rooms, and Japanese-style garden, it’s the ideal meeting point between old Japan and the modern-day. The two-story, seven-person-capacity home is a wonderful choice for traveling groups of all sizes. Booked with neighboring Tofukuji Tsuki, this would be the ideal accommodation for groups of up to 13 people.
If you’re looking for an authentically ‘Kyoto’ experience, then booking a stay at Tofukuji Sakura surely won’t disappoint. It comes complete with a large Japanese-style garden and an outdoor rotenburo-style bath. The home’s blend of western and Japanese elements means guests can embrace Kyoto style without forgoing any additional comforts.

This was a perfect stay for 5 adults. It felt very traditional with modern amenities. Check in was smooth. Owners answered my questions promptly. The train station was close by (6 min walk) and only 1 stop away from Kyoto station. Cute local shops and convenient stores close by. Very convenient! The place was really awesome and I would recommend this to other travelers.
An authentic taste of Japan for those traveling from an afar. Plenty of space in this two level home. Situated just a short walk from a train station and bus routes to all the main Kyoto attractions. Also the surprise of one of the nicest and quietest temples right next door. Perfect home and location. Would stay again.

Gorgeous property
The location was handy for local temples/shrines. The keypad was difficult to figure out for entry. One of the towels had a set of fake eyelashes stuck to it.

Thank you for writing us a review and feedback for Tofukuji Sakura house.
We do our best to make sure our door entries are safe and easy to access for our guests as much as possible. We do apologize about the towels as we only provide fresh towels and sheets delivered by our linen provider. We don't know how a set of fake eyelashes could have been stuck to the towel that you had during your stay. Again we would do our best to check.
The home was beautiful! The garden was amazing and the view from the bedroom was so peaceful and comforting. The location was perfect with a 15 minute walk to Fushimi Inari. Even closer to the train station which was one stop from the shinkansen. Would definitely stay here again.
