[Kyoto/Kifune] Stay cool in the summer with riverside cuisine

Kibune in Kyoto is a famous tourist spot where you can enjoy summer kawadoko cuisine. Restaurants along the Kibune River, a pure mountain stream, offer a special experience where you can enjoy delicious seasonal cuisine in the cool air on the "kawadoko" (dishes set up on the river). The kawadoko is surrounded by the sound of the river and greenery, and is so refreshing that you can forget the heat of Kyoto in summer. The cuisine is mainly Kyoto cuisine made with local ingredients, and you can enjoy salt-grilled sweetfish, tempura, yuba, and other dishes eaten on the river, as well as colorful kaiseki cuisine. Kibune's kawadoko cuisine is only available from May to September, with the peak of its popularity being from July to August. The kawadoko has a different atmosphere by day and night, with the sunlight filtering through the trees and refreshing breeze during the day, and the coolness at night, as well as the fantastic lanterns and lights illuminating the river surface, creating a very atmospheric moment. 📍Access From Eizan Electric Railway Kibuneguchi Station, take the bus that circulates around the Kifune area for about 5 minutes, or walk for about 30 minutes. The bus is also convenient for sightseeing at Kifune Shrine, and you can spend a day fully experiencing the nature and atmosphere of Kyoto. #0YenTravelAutumn
