Accommodation in Kyoto: Kyomachiya Ryokan Sakura Honganji

I would like to introduce one of best  accommodation in Kyoto this time. Few years ago, I had the chance to travel in Kyoto for a couple of days. It was Golden Week during at that time, one of the long holidays and busy seasons in Japan. We stayed at Kyomachiya Ryokan Sakura Honganji, located nearby Nishihongan-ji Temple. We were lucky to get a reservation at this place during this season. Especially in Kyoto, you need to make reservation months in advance because places get fully booked quickly during holidays.

Although only less than 20 minutes away from the Kyoto Station, Kyomachiya Ryokan Sakura Honganji is in a quiet and peaceful neighborhood. The place has a traditional atmosphere and furniture made out of wood. There is a small Japanese garden in the middle of it, behind a glass window right next to the lobby.
