I visited Kawadoko, but the atmosphere was terrible as the group guests had bad manners. The food was delicious.

We stayed at Ryokan Tazuru for 4 nights in 1983. At that time, no staff people spoke English. However, they would go out onto the street with us and ask a passing student who spoke English to help us! It made our trip twice as enjoyable!

My mother and I visited here for our first Kawadoko cooking experience.We didn't have a seat next to the river as the group had already seated along the river, but it started to rain lightly on the way and the people had to move, so we said, ``If you'd like, please come along.'' They changed me to a better seat.They also kindly talked to me when I was embarrassed and confused about how to eat sweetfish, and they gave me great care.

You can rest assured that the traditions of Kyoto cuisine are firmly preserved. The second floor can also accommodate banquets for around 30 people.
