The name “SAKURA” originates from our president’s ancestor, Ito Ihee of Somei Village, Toshima District, Edo era (present-day Komagome, Toshima Ward, Tokyo), who developed the famous cherry blossom “Someiyoshino”.
It is said that Shogun Tokugawa Yoshimune personally visited “Kirishimaya Ihee” to purchase azaleas and wisteria while also enjoying tea.
We opened SAKURA in Kyoto, Japan’s most celebrated tourist city, to share authentic Japanese culture with visitors.
Beyond just seeing Japanese culture, we want people of all nationalities, genders, ages, and experiences to enjoy memorable and happy times through hands-on experiences.
