Photos and Description of the Kyoto vacation rental
Private rental units with baths, kitchens, WiFi, laundry; each unit sleeps 2-4

Sakara - the characters mean 'cherry blossom', 'aroma', and 'ease/comfort' --

Sakara has four unique and individual units with Japanese decor, private restroom, bath, laundry machine, kitchenette, and high quality western bedding.

Free wireless internet signal, TV, and local phone line standard in all rooms.

Sakara offers two suites in the back building, two couples efficiencies upstairs, and 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. There are kitchens in all rooms so you can cook as you like. You can do laundry and take a hot bath. All rooms are privately locked and soundproofed.

*** 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.

Great for groups large and small: The entire building sleeps 12-14, so it is perfect for larger groups wanting to stay together. *** You may rent all four rooms for 60,000 yen per night.

*** The Suites are great for a family or a group of 3-5 adults.

*** Two of the upstairs rooms are designed specifically with couples in mind.

*** Please contact us directly about discounts for longer stays or more than one room.

*** Availability calendar indicates dates when all four rooms are booked***
