The luxury that we boast is not limited to being sumptuous. We have prepared our guestrooms with a main focus placed on producing the compactness of having what is required in good, required quantities – on delivering quality that is substantial and fine-tuned. Our space confined to a total of 12 rooms also creates an ideal sense of distance between our guests and staff – not too close and not too distant, just the right balance for the two sides to better interact.
An alley wet from water sprinkled for coolness. A soft light escaping through openings of a latticed door. Although being right in the center of Kyoto with convenient access to town, Villa Sanjo Muromachi Kyoto is situated in an area where the sounds of life - unchanged since olden times - can be heard. We invite you to unwind and spend a time of relaxation, letting yourself go along with the leisurely pace of the ancient capital and relishing the changing seasons and the essence of Kyoto vividly present in daily life.
A hotel produced by a publisher, rare and unique nationwide.
A range of information that we have in store as a "town guide," accumulated over the course of 20 plus years through coverage of topics right here in Kyoto, is offered exclusively to guests staying in our 12 rooms. We attentively listen to voices of our guests, whose purposes of stay vary, and suggest a solution coordinated to make their travel "substantial," "fine-tuned" and "high quality."
Sanjo Street, which extends from Sanjo Ohashi Bridge to Kyoto's city center, has long been a site of bustling people traffic and still contains old buildings constructed in the leading style of each distinct era. Meanwhile, Muromachi Street, the eponym for the Muromachi era, is lined with houses of generation after generation of rich merchants; throughout the Edo era, it developed as a district of kimono textile wholesalers.
Sanjo Muromachi, the crossroads of those two axes of cultural interchange, is a spot where visitors can to this day get a real-life appreciation of Kyoto's culture and history, including scenes of magnificent floats going by during the Gion Festival.
With the display of books on Kyoto, contemporary craftworks, antique tableware and much more, our gallery space offers a more refined enjoyment of travel and opportunities to hone your sensitivity and intellectual sense. We encourage you to use it as a space for mental concentration where you can enhance your mind and absorb the essence of Kyoto. Our lounge space, located on the first floor, also provides travellers with a place of relaxation in the form of enjoying a sip of wine or Japanese saké, made right here in Kyoto.
Our breakfast tableware is coordinated with original works by the hands of hereditary masters of the traditional esthetics of Kyoto, including blue plates beautifully made by Cochin technique from Kosyun Kiln (Mr. Kosyun Takashima) graceful iron-dyed coffee cups and saucers from Ganka Kiln (Mr. Ganka Takagi) and bamboo baskets and lunchboxes from Kohchosai Kosuga.

Our entrance lobby on the first floor and each of our guestrooms are adorned with Kyoto karakami (decorative paper) done by hand at Karacho, a papermaker with a 400-year history.
