Kyoto cuisine “Takeshima” was founded in 1897 as a traditional inn on Kiyamachi by the Kamo River in Kyoto.
The Kamo River flows to the east and the Takase River to the west, with illuminated cherry blossoms along the Takase in spring,
and open-air riverside “kawadoko” terrace seating to enjoy in summer.
In this elegant kappo-style restaurant, guests can savor seasonal Japanese dishes served on fine Kiyomizu ware, cherished since the days of the ryokan.
The restaurant offers both counter seats and private rooms,
making it suitable for many occasions such as dates, business entertaining, or a relaxed lunch.
A special Shokado bento box is also available for takeout for guests who prefer to enjoy their meal elsewhere.
When you visit the Kamo River area in Kyoto, please enjoy authentic Kyoto cuisine at “Kyoto Cuisine Takeshima ICHIGO” on Kiyamachi, renowned for its summer kawadoko riverside terrace.
