[Access] About 5 minutes on foot from Hankyu Corporation Kyoto Main Line "Omiya Station", Keifuku Electric Railway Arashiyama Main Line "Shijo Omiya Station"
Tsubaki-Dori is a ryokan located in a corner near Shijo Omiya, which has been renovated into a single inn from an L-shaped alley, which is lined with over 110 years old town houses. The entrance building has a depth of Kyoto-like structure, and is not only a place to greet visitors, but also a path connecting the outside world to Tsubaki-dori.
When you enter Tsubaki-dori, there is a street reminiscent of the old flower district, which is isolated from the outside world. It becomes a street with a glossy appearance.
All 23 townhouses have guest rooms with open-air baths, and the interior is designed in five categories: “TAKE”, “MIZU”, “IWA”, “HANA”, and “HA”, with the theme of Kyoto’s natural beauty.
“Tsubaki-dori” has two restaurants.
Behind the secret door somewhere in the alley is a limited-seat 6 seats produced by Mr. Hiroshi Sasaki, the owner of Gion Sasaki, a three-star restaurant at the Michelin Guide Kyoto / Osaka 2020. Chef’s table “q”. You can enjoy the finest course cuisine just before the chef’s beautiful work.
At Wagyu Ryotei Bungo, you can enjoy a selection of the highest quality domestic Japanese beef in a variety of cooking styles.

Hoshinoya Tokyo, a Japanese-style inn located in Otemachi, Tokyo, will again this year host the “New Year Kabuki Stay” program, a two-day and one-night stay from January 5 to 26, 2024.
For people living in Edo, one of their New Year’s pleasures was to watch Kabuki, and it was a chic way to spend the New Year. Theatrical teahouses supported this way of enjoying Kabuki. In addition to arranging tickets to the theater, the teahouses delighted patrons by providing a complete range of services, including plot notes, tea, sweets, makunouchi box lunches, and snacks and drinks (*1). Hoshinoya Tokyo offers a stay to celebrate the New Year with hospitality similar to the theatrical teahouses of the time.
