    Kyoto Kyoto-shi Shimogyo-ku
    A Japanese restaurant in the station building at Kyoto Station. We recommend their monthly changing Hashitate Don rice bowl which combines seafood and wild vegetables from the Tango region along with homemade vegetables pickled in miso. During the evening you can enjoy a hot pot meal. They also sell popular souvenirs including Sea bream sushi with miso and sesame paste.

    I did not have a lot of time to explore for my dinner before my Shinkansen trip back to Tokyo. But, here this restaurant is at really convenient place, 3rd foot of building in front of exit of JR...

    Kyoto Kyoto-shi Shimogyo-ku Takakuradori Ayanokoji Nishi Iru Shinmeicho 230-9
    Tempura is a steamed meal that pulls the flavor from seasonal fish and vegetables and captures it in a robe. The simplicity of the dish allows the skills of the craftsmen at this shop to shine. They offer four different tempura meals and three different chef's choice meals and reservations are required so please contact them before visiting.

    Excellent tempura. Very friendly chef. Great sake list and draft beer. Very reasonable prices. Hidden gem!

    Kyoto Kyoutoshi Shimogyou-ku Nishikiyamachishijou Daaru-machi 198
    This is a kamameshi (rice, meat and vegetable dish served in a small pot) restaurant in a backstreet of Shijo-Kawaramachi, around a five-minute walk from Hankyu Kawaramachi Station. Established in 1945, the place has a coziness that stirs feelings of nostalgia. The menu features traditional Kyoto home cooking including ebi-imo (shrimp-shaped taro) and sanzokuyaki (fried chicken). The set menu is kamameshi, which is cooked in a ceramic pot after the order is received. The popular “Tori-Kamameshi” is fluffy rice cooked in their inherited traditional dashi soup stock then mixed with chicken fat to bring out its rich flavor.

    四条河原町から至近なのに喧騒がまるでない落ち着く小料理屋。ご主人と女将さんとお姉さんの3人で切り盛りしているが店がこじんまりしているのでオーダーも料理がでてくるのもスムース。お酒も美味しい。少人数でゆっくり話したい時にお勧めの店。

    Kyoto Prefecture Kyoto Ward Karasuma Salinous Road Down Le Le Higashi Salokoji Town 901 Kyoto Station Building Specialty Store District TheCUBE 11F
    This Japanese restaurant is located on the 11th floor of the Kyoto Station Building Specialty Mall (The CUBE) in Shimogyo Ward, Kyoto City. Its guests dine on Kyoto's traditional obanzai (home cooking) made with locally grown vegetables. At lunchtime there is an all-you-can-eat obanzai set menu that's popular with the locals and tourists who come to enjoy Kyoto.

    Had a quick dinner here on way back to Osaka. Very poor food and for non-Japanese tourists the staff were not very helpful in terms of how to prepare the food served at the table.

Kyoto Areas

around-area-map

Its wooden tea houses, shuffling geisha, and spiritual sights have seen Kyoto hailed as the heart of traditional Japan, a world apart from ultramodern Tokyo. Despite being the Japanese capital for over a century, Kyoto escaped destruction during World War II, leaving behind a fascinating history which can be felt at every turn, from the fully gold-plated Kinkakuji Temple down to traditional customs such as geisha performances and tea ceremonies, which are still practiced to this day.
