  • The main selling point here really isn’t the food, it’s the view.

    From your seat you’re looking straight at the Tsunoshima Bridge with this endless, insanely blue ocean in front of you.

    When the weather’s nice, you honestly get distracted while you eat because you just keep staring outside. It’s also an amazing spot for photos.

  • The atmosphere here is just incredible—everything from the garden to the food feels like a work of art. Every kaiseki dish is beautifully crafted and really reflects the season. It's pricey, but totally worth it!

    Visited again after the pandemic—watching the birds and swans swimming in the lake was so relaxing. I really enjoyed the peaceful and calm vibe.

  • This old Meiji-era house is so Kyoto—super photogenic.
    The shaved ice here is gorgeous too; the colors are unreal. It totally brought out my inner girly side 💓...
    If you’re in Kyoto, you have to come try it!

  • If you love the cherry blossoms along Meguro River in spring, you can't miss the stunning 'winter cherry blossoms' here. You can stroll the 2.2-kilometer riverside from Gotanda Fureai Mizube Square and enjoy the cherry blossom-colored LED lights—so beautiful!

  • This big green park used to be Yuzuki Castle, home of the medieval Iyo Kono clan.
    The castle has a 250-year history. Even though there’s no main keep, the moat and earthen ramparts are still here, and they’ve even reconstructed a samurai residence.
    Highly recommend coming here for a stroll.

  • The Odori venue is filled with all kinds of artistic light installations, sparkling and lively! 👍

  • You can try out workshops here, like making glass beads, engraving your own original designs, and even glassblowing. It's a really unique experience!
