京都 8 家必去的納涼床餐廳(鴨川、貴船和高雄)
Enjoying a meal while listening to the gentle murmur of the river—this is the charm of kawadoko, a unique and luxurious summer tradition in Kyoto. If you’re visiting Kyoto during the summer, don’t miss the chance to dine on a kawadoko and make your trip even more memorable. In this article, we introduce the three main areas where you can experience kawadoko: Kamo River, Kibune, and Takao, along with their distinct features and recommended restaurants. Index What is Kawadoko (kawayuka) in Kyoto? The 3 Main Kawadoko Areas in Kyoto and Their Unique Features 3 Must-Try Dishes on the Kawadoko: Sweetfish (Ayu), Sukiyaki, and Somen Recommended Kawadoko Restaurants in Kamogawa Recommended Kawadoko Restaurants in Kibune Recommended Kawadoko Restaurants in Takao Kawadoko or Kawayuka refers to outdoor seating set up by restaurants along or above riverbanks in Kyoto. Originally devised as a clever way to escape the sweltering summer heat of Kyoto’s basin climate, this tradition has been passed down through generations. From spring to autumn, restaurants offer meals on these riverside platforms, allowing guests to enjoy not only the cuisine but also the uniquely atmospheric charm of Kyoto. It’s one of the must-try seasonal experiences when visiting the city. There are three main areas in Kyoto where you can enjoy dining on kawadoko platforms: Kamo River in the city center, Kibune, a mountain village in northern Kyoto, and Takao, a nature-rich area. Interestingly, the terminology differs slightly depending on the location. In the Kamo River area, the platforms are generally referred to as kawayuka or noryo-yuka, while in Kibune and Takao, the traditional term kawadoko is used. ■Kamo River In this area, elevated wooden platforms are built over the Misosogi River, an artificial stream on the west bank of the Kamo River. A wide variety of restaurants—including those serving traditional Kyoto cuisine, French, Italian, and café fare—line the river, offering diverse dining experiences. ■Kibune Here, the platforms are placed directly above the Kibune River, so close that you can almost reach out and touch the clear stream. The temperature is said to be around 10°C cooler than in central Kyoto, making it a perfect summer retreat. ■Takao Located about an hour’s drive from central Kyoto, Takao features platforms set along the Kiyotaki River. With covered seating, this area offers a more weather-proof kawadoko experience, allowing visitors to enjoy their meal comfortably even on less sunny days. Opening Period Number of restaurants Atmosphere Access Kamo River May 1– Oct 15 About 90 Despite being close to lively districts, the Kamo River area offers a refined and atmospheric setting, thanks to the river itself and the lush greenery along its banks. ・Get off at Hankyu Kyoto Line Kyoto Kawaramachi Station ・Get off at Subway Tozai Line Kyoto Shiyakusho-mae Station Kibune May 1 – Sep 30 About 20 Nestled in the forested mountains of northern Kyoto, the Kibune area is surrounded by rich greenery and the soothing sounds of flowing water, creating a truly relaxing atmosphere. ・Take the Eizan Railway to Kibuneguchi Station, then transfer to Kyoto Bus No. 33 and get off at Kibune Bus StopTake the Eizan Railway to Kibuneguchi Station, then transfer to Kyoto Bus No. 33 and get off at Kibune Bus Stop Takao Mid April– Nov 30 *Evening Kawadoko operates until Mid Sep. About 10 A refreshing escape from the city, the Takao area is immersed in nature and offers a peaceful ambiance where the sound of the clear river is especially prominent. ・From Hankyu Kyoto Line Shijo-Omiya Station or Kyoto Station, take the JR Bus (Keihoku Line) and get off at Toganoo Bus Stop ・From JR Sagano Line Hanazono Station, take a taxi (about 10–15 minutes) *Latest information for 2026 @media screen and (min-width:700px) {.table_outer{width:100%;}} @media screen and (max-width:700px) {.table_outer{overflow-x:scroll;} .table_outer table{width:200vw;}} When dining on a kawadoko (riverside terrace) in Kyoto, there are a few dishes you definitely don’t want to miss—especially during the summer season. Here are three seasonal specialties to enjoy: Ayu (sweetfish), sukiyaki, and somen noodles. ■ Ayu (Sweetfish) Ayu is a freshwater fish in season during the summer and is a staple of kawadoko cuisine. The most popular way to enjoy it is shioyaki—grilled slowly over charcoal with a light sprinkle of salt to enhance its delicate flavor. Another recommended preparation is tempura, where the whole fish is coated and deep-fried until crispy, making even the bones deliciously edible. ■ Sukiyaki This traditional Japanese hot pot dish originated in Kyoto. The Kyoto-style sukiyaki begins by greasing a cast-iron pan with beef fat, then grilling slices of domestic beef. The meat is flavored with a blend of soy sauce and sugar, and then cooked together with locally sourced seasonal vegetables in alternating layers. The savory-sweet flavor makes it a hearty favorite, even in summer. ■ Somen (Thin Wheat Noodles) Somen are thin noodles made from wheat flour, boiled and then chilled in cold water before serving. Typically enjoyed by dipping into a homemade broth made from soy sauce and mirin, these noodles are refreshingly cold and smooth, offering a perfect way to cool down during Kyoto’s hot and humid summer. A Beloved Local Bistro [Ikariya Shokudo] Housed in a beautifully renovated 100-year-old kyomachiya townhouse, Ikariya Shokudo offers a uniquely Kyoto-style bistro experience, blending traditional Japanese architecture with elegant Western interior design. Run by chefs who have trained in Italy and France, the restaurant is known for its outstanding cuisine at reasonable prices. A standout dish here is the “Cocotte Souffle Fromage,” a fluffy and comforting blend of egg, white sauce, and cheese, baked slowly in a cast-iron cocotte. Other popular options include the tender “Confit of Chicken Thigh” cooked at low temperature, and the seasonal “Kawadoko Lunch Course,” which lets you enjoy your meal riverside during the summer. Enjoy a Stylish Kawadoko Experience [B STORE 1st] Located along the banks of the Kamo River in Kyoto, B STORE 1st is a stylish restaurant housed in a beautifully renovated 100-year-old machiya (traditional townhouse). Blending classic Kyoto charm with a modern sensibility, this elegant space offers a refined yet relaxed dining experience. Its kawadoko (riverside terrace) seats provide front-row views of the changing seasons, perfectly complementing the creative dishes served. At lunch, guests can enjoy a casual set menu featuring seasonal vegetables, charcoal-grilled meats, and pasta. The restaurant also offers coffee roasted in-house by its sister shop, B STORE 2nd, and pastries crafted by an in-house pâtissier. Dinner is served in a “neo-izakaya” style, with a focus on à la carte dishes and a carefully curated selection of wines and original cocktails by a dedicated sommelier—perfect for a laid-back yet sophisticated evening by the river. A beef specialty restaurant with over 150 years of history Moritaya Kiyamachi Branch Founded in 1869 as Kyoto’s first restaurant specializing in beef, this historic establishment offers premium Kuroge Wagyu—including Kyoto-raised beef from its own ranch in the Tamba-Wachi Highlands—as sukiyaki, shabu-shabu, oil-grilled dishes, and steak. If you’re dining on the kawayuka, the sukiyaki—cooked right at your table by the staff—is highly recommended. Lightly seasoned, it lets you fully savor the rich flavor and aroma of the beef. Another standout is the oil-yaki, where thick cuts of loin, tenderloin, and seasonal vegetables are grilled on a heavy iron plate to juicy perfection. Seasonal Kyoto Cuisine with the Sound of a Flowing River [Kifune Hiroya] Overlooking the clear stream of the Kifune River—the headwaters of the Kamo River—Kifune Hiroya offers an open-air riverside dining experience that feels one with nature. Every seat is designed to be close to the flowing water, creating a refreshing atmosphere that helps guests forget the summer heat. The restaurant serves traditional kaiseki meals that showcase the seasonal flavors of Kyoto. Signature dishes include salt-grilled sweetfish (ayu), pike conger (hamo), and yuba (tofu skin), beautifully presented to evoke a cool, seasonal elegance. While lunchtime kaiseki on the kawadoko (riverside platform) is delightful, the evening experience—with the riverside illuminated—adds a magical touch. Please note that advance reservations are required. A Serene Riverside Retreat Surrounded by Nature [Kifune Beniya] Nestled in a tranquil forest setting along the Kifune River, Kifune Beniya is a long-established ryokan that offers a deeply atmospheric kawadoko (riverside) dining experience. With the soothing sounds of the river and dappled sunlight filtering through the trees, guests can enjoy Kyoto’s seasonal delicacies in a truly picturesque setting. Meals are served in a traditional kaiseki style, with the menu changing to reflect the ingredients of each season. Signature dishes include salt-grilled sweetfish (ayu), pike conger (hamo), and yuba (tofu skin)—all carefully prepared to delight both the eyes and the palate. Dining is available on the kawadoko for both lunch and dinner, with the evening ambiance enhanced by soft lighting creating an unforgettable, romantic experience. Advance reservation is required. Casual Dining Without Reservations [Kibune Sagenta] Located in the upper reaches of the Kibune River, Sagenta is a self-service style café and restaurant where you can casually enjoy kawadoko dining without the need for a reservation. If you’re looking for a more formal kaiseki dining experience, visit its sister restaurant Ugenta, located 200 meters south. Sagenta offers a colorful bento box featuring 25 different dishes, salt-grilled ayu (sweetfish), and their unique “Deep-fried Ayu with Sômen,” which lets you enjoy both ayu and chilled noodles in one dish. You’ll also find a variety of refreshing sweets and drinks perfect for summer, including cream sodas, matcha parfaits, and cheesecakes. More to Explore in Kibune After enjoying kawadoko dining in Kibune, why not visit Kifune Shrine, one of Japan’s most renowned power spots? Check out the link below for more information about Kifune Shrine and make the most of your visit! ▼For more details▼ <Kyoto> Kifune Shrine|Perfect guide from benefits and access to omamori! Enjoy Kawadoko Cuisine Even on a Day Trip [Kinsuitei Takao] Kinsuitei is a traditional ryokan in Takao that serves kawadoko cuisine from May 1 through the end of September. While it’s known for its private family baths with views of vibrant greenery, guests can also enjoy a meal here without staying overnight. Around mid-June through early July, fireflies light up the nearby Kiyotaki River, creating a magical summer atmosphere. At lunch, you can savor Kyoto-style bento meals or multi-course kaiseki featuring seasonal Kyoto vegetables and salt-grilled ayu (sweetfish). In the evening, the menu transforms into a refreshing summer kaiseki with Kyoto delicacies like hamo otoshi (parboiled pike conger) and hamo shabu (hot pot). Beautiful River Views from Every Seat Togano Chaya Built to extend over the Kiyotaki River, Togano Chaya offers sweeping views of Takao’s lush nature and clear streams from every seat. One of its highlights is that you can enjoy kawadoko dining without needing a reservation. The menu ranges from light and comforting dishes like chicken miso udon—featuring Kyoto-raised young chicken, grilled mochi, shimeji mushrooms, and seasonal vegetables—to more traditional meals such as a set that includes salt-grilled ayu (sweetfish). You can also stop by just for drinks and dessert with their café menu. Enjoying kawadoko—a tradition that is said to have begun along the Kamo River around 1670—will surely make your stay in Japan even more memorable. While some restaurants require reservations, others may not accept them, so be sure to check the latest information on each restaurant’s website before your visit.

京都西山|京都尚不為人所知的旅遊景點
When it comes to sightseeing in Kyoto, most people go to the center of Kyoto city and Arashiyama, where you can visit World Heritage temples and shrines, experience unique Japanese culture, and more. The next hot tourist spot in Kyoto that I would like to recommend is Kyoto Nishiyama! Not only is it still not well known to foreigners, but it is a place full of attractions that even Japanese people in the know are not familiar with. I have already been to famous sightseeing spots in Kyoto. I want to make a trip to Kyoto that is different from others. Want to visit a sightseeing spot in Kyoto that is not well known yet. If so, please check it out! -INDEX- ・Where is Kyoto Nishiyama? ・Why Nishiyama, Kyoto is a great place for sightseeing ・Nishiyama area attractions and sightseeing spots ・Spacious and worth seeing! Yoshimine Temple, one of the three mountains in Nishiyama, Kyoto ・Komyo-ji, the most beautiful tunnel of autumn leaves in Kyoto ・The “Yanagidani-Kannon” where you can have a valuable experience, famous for “Hana-Chouzu” ・Sightseeing spots in Nishiyama, Kyoto where you can see Japanese-style scenery! Kyoto City Rakusai Bamboo Park, Bamboo Path ・”Nagaokatenmangu” accessible from the station, famous for plum blossoms, cherry blossoms, and azaleas ・Cultural Experience in Nishiyama, Kyoto|Shoboji Temple ・Factory tour in Nishiyama, Kyoto|Suntory “Natural Water Brewery” ・Distillery tour in Nishiyama, Kyoto|Suntory Yamazaki Distillery ・Hot Springs in Nishiyama, Kyoto|Open 24 Hours “Kyoto Takenosato Onsen Manyonoyu” ・Recommended lunch spot “Taut” in Nishiyama, Kyoto The central area of Kyoto City is surrounded by mountains on three sides. With the capital at its center, the area is called “Higashiyama” to the east, “Kitayama” to the north, and “Nishiyama” to the west. Nishiyama refers to the area spanning Rakusai, Nishikyo-ku, Muko City, Nagaokakyo City, and Oyamazaki Town in Kyoto City, and is located 10 to 30 minutes by train from Hankyu Kyoto Line Kyoto-kawaramachi station toward Osaka. “Higashiyama” is home to major tourist attractions such as Kiyomizu Temple and Kodaiji Temple, while “Kitayama” is a sophisticated residential area. On the other hand, from the perspective of tourism, Nishiyama has the following attractions ・Rich nature ・Temples and shrines are scattered in the mountains. ・There are experience facilities that can be experienced only in Japan. ・You can visit the temples and shrines in a relatively slow pace compared to the main tourist attractions in Kyoto City. Typical tourist spots are the old temples called “Kyoto Nishiyama Sanzan”: Yoshimine Temple, Komyo-ji, and Yanagidani Kannon. If you visit these temples and shrines at a leisurely pace, avoiding the crowds, you may be able to grasp firsthand the spirit and sensibility of the Japanese people, who have always respected nature and offered prayers to it. In addition, while Arashiyama’s “Sagano Bamboo Grove” is famous when it comes to sightseeing in Kyoto, there is a bamboo grove walking path in Nishiyama, Kyoto, that is longer and more rewarding than the bamboo grove path. You can cycle along that path, experience making sand patterns in a temple’s sand garden, and other contents that will make your trip special. You can even stop by on your way from Kyoto to Osaka, so there is no reason not to go! However, some sights are far from the station and some experiences require advance reservations, so be sure to check in advance how to get there and how long it will take. Check this MAP The grounds of Yoshimine Temple, which boasts an area of 99,000 square meters, are a circular garden that takes advantage of the mountain terrain, and can be visited in about 30 to 40 minutes around the temple. Seasonal flowers such as weeping cherry trees over 300 years old, hydrangeas, autumn chrysanthemums, and autumn leaves are beautiful, and the view of Kyoto city from the temple grounds is spectacular. Also not to be missed is the 37-meter-long, 600-year-old “Yuryu-no-matsu” pine tree. Designated as a national natural monument, it is so powerful that it looks like a living creature as it crawls across the ground. The temple grounds also feature a hydrangea garden spanning 3,000 tsubo, where beautiful flowers bloom in late June. ▼Check out this article!▼ 10 Best Places to see Hydrangea in Kansai The temple grounds are vast, covering an area of about 56,000 square meters. The 200-meter-long“Maple approach”is known as one of the best places in Kyoto to view the autumn leaves. More than 250 maple trees planted on both sides of the approach turn fiery red in season. The “Shikiki-Momiji” (autumn leaves spreading at your feet after they fall) that fill the approach after the maples have fallen are another impressive sight. In addition to fall, the seasonal scenery, including cherry blossoms in spring, green maples in early summer, and snowy winter scenes seen several times a year, exudes a sense of wabi-sabi that is unique to a temple nestled in the mountains. ▼Check out this article!▼ 〈2023〉Best 14 Places to See Autumn Leaves in Japan (Kyoto, Osaka and More)! Known since ancient times as the God of Eyes, Yanagidani-Kannon has become famous in recent years as the birthplace of “Hana-Chouzu” (flower water fountain), in which the water fountains are decorated with flowers. The “Hana-Chouzu” is as beautiful as a work of art, and the flowers change with the seasons, delighting the eye throughout the year. It is also famous for its hydrangea blossoms, which attract many visitors, especially in June when they are at their best. The Kamishoin, which is open to the public in the fall, is also a highlight. The contrast of light and dark in the room, where the ceiling is illuminated and dyed red by the light, and the shadows of the maple trees are reflected in the room, is a beauty that cannot be described in words. In addition to sutra and Buddhist sutra copying, and the experience of making red seals with pressed flowers, there is also a therapy menu to help heal eyestrain. ▼Check out this article!▼ What is Hana-chouzu, a hot topic in Japan? 6 Hana-chouzu spots found at temples and shrines in the Kansai region The Rakusai area is known for its bamboo shoots. Many people think of Arashiyama when they think of bamboo groves in Kyoto, but there is a hidden spot here that is different in scale and flavor from the bamboo groves of Arashiyama! Kyoto City Rakusai Bamboo Park is developed to preserve the landscape of bamboo groves. In addition to a circular garden lined with rare bamboo trees, there is also a bamboo museum designed in the image of Japanese-style architecture, a tea ceremony room, and other facilities where visitors can learn how bamboo has been deeply involved in the lives and arts of the Japanese people and how it has become a part of Japanese culture. A further 5-minute bicycle ride away from there is the 1.8-kilometer-long “Bamboo Path”. The tunnel of bamboo groves stretching back toward the sky is a spectacular sight. The various designs of“bamboo fences”made of bundles of bamboo branches are also noteworthy! “Cycle Base Asahi Rakusaiguchi”, located near Hankyu Kyoto Line Rakusaiguchi station, offers guided cycling tours through bamboo path. Experience the exhilaration of riding a bicycle through bamboo path! ▼Check out this article!▼ Rakusaiguchi, Kyoto-1 Day Trip|Let’s Go Cycling in The Bamboo Grove! Nagaokatenmangu is dedicated to Michizane Sugawara,the god of learning. The shrine is associated with plum blossoms and is a well-known spot for viewing plum blossoms. The best time to view the ume blossoms is from mid-February each year. Ume blossoms are used as a motif on charms, red seals, and omikuji. Hachijo-ga-ike Pond, which is located in the precincts of the shrine, comes into bloom in spring, and the cherry blossoms along the pond bloom from late March, creating a magnificent scene. In late April, the “Kirishima azalea” blooms and the approach to the shrine turns crimson with its 2.5 meter height. Located within walking distance from the nearest station, this spot is easy to incorporate into your Nishiyama sightseeing route. Shoboji Temple, isn’t known to Japanese people, is a beautiful temple with seasonal flowers and gardens. Here, visitors can experience the precious experience of “Samonhiki(draw patterns on the bedding sand with a rake-like instrument)”in the garden, which consists of 16 stones arranged to look like animals. Samon is a regular wavy pattern drawn in a karesansui (dry landscape garden). Before the start of the tour, visitors are specially invited to enter the stone garden, which is normally off-limits to the public, to experience “Samonhiki” under the guidance of a Buddhist priest. Visitors can deepen their understanding of the spirit of Zen by learning about the meaning of samon, the tools used, and preparing their minds for the experience.
