Accommodation Options
1/ Traditional Ryokan
Description:
This is a classic traditional Japanese ryokan that was originally built to accommodate raft rowers back in the old days when timber was transported from the mountains to Kyoto via the Katsura river on a raft.
Besides its historical significance in Keihoku, Sushiyone is also well known among locals and guests for serving up delicious local cuisine.
It’s strategic position along the Katsura river and within the Keihouku town centre makes the Ryokan a convenient place to visit Keihoku’s local establishments. To add a cherry on top, the ryokan’s charming female owner (or okami) has set up a cozy bar in the ryokan that is frequented by locals, making it the place to get a taste of that local, warm Keihoku spirit.

Description:
One of the more authentic experiences you can get at Keihoku is staying at one of its traditional thatched roof houses. This thatched roof house, located just a few minutes away from Joshoko-ji Zen temple is one perfect example.
Built 230 years ago, the Yukara house was a Zen temple in the 1970s which opened its doors to students from all over the world, being a place for them to live and practice Buddhism.
This historic place of hospitality was reborned and renamed many years later as “Yukara”, a word which comes from the ancient Ainu language that means “traditional epic poetry”.
