Sushiya Yohei Kyoto serves Edomae-style sushi from a counter-only room in Shimogyo Ward, on the ground floor of the HANAMIYA building in Tennōchō. The restaurant sits in the luxury price tier, and reservations are taken by phone rather than through an online system.
Service runs in two blocks most days: a midday sitting from 12:00 to 15:00 and an evening sitting from 18:00 to 22:30. This pattern holds Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The restaurant is closed on Wednesdays.
Because seating is counter-only and booking goes through a phone line rather than a web form, reservations are best made directly by calling ahead — particularly for evening service, when demand for counter seats at Edomae sushi restaurants in this price bracket tends to be highest. No specific seat count, chef name, or menu pricing is listed here; confirm those details with the restaurant when booking.
The address places the restaurant in Shimogyo Ward, one of Kyoto's central wards, making it reachable from the city's main train and bus routes. Given the phone-only booking process, travelers without a Japanese phone number or language support may want to arrange the call through a hotel concierge or local contact.
