    Kyoto Kyoto-shi Nakagyo-ku Kiyacho Sanjo Agaru Nakajima 96

    The service was not friendly at all, food is tasteless, really average. The place is overpriced. There are so many good restaurants in Kyoto, this is not one of them.

    料理は美味しかったですが忙しくもないのに料理が出てくるのが遅すぎて残念です。 板前さんさ自分のツレらしきお客と話し込んで手は動かしていないよう。 看板メニューのおでんが15分、天ぷらが30分、魚の煮付けが40分以上かかり、スタッフも奥で仲間内で話しして手持ち無沙汰なお客に気が回らないのは満足度は0点です。 グループ店もあるようですが、家族とも接待にも使わないでしょう。 奢りが会見えたお店です。お勧...

Kyoto Areas

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.
