We did not stay overnight at this Ryokan but we were able to eat here for dinner.We really appreciated that they picked us up and drove all the way to Kinsuitei because it was rainy and it is hard to rent cars near Kyoto station.When we arrived, a friendly lady was waiting for us with some umbrellas and welcomed us.First of all, we were so impressed with the mesmerizing view.The river was light blue and the woods are fresh green and the contrast was so beautiful.For a while, we watched and took some pictures of the scenery.We really enjoyed every single meal.The amount, the taste, and the presentation of each plate were all wonderful.We enjoyed chatting with the lady who served us.When we arrived, it was still bright but when we almost finished the course, it was dark and we enjoyed the sound of the river and frogs singing.Even if it is humid and hot near Kyoto station, this area is cooler especially at night so we recommend bringing a jacket just in case.It seems they prepare for a blanket for you.This place is very calm and has a lot of nature, so we would love to stay overnight at Ryokan next time if we visit Kyoto.

I visited you at Kawadoko Dinner.After a 30-minute shuttle bus ride from Kyoto Tower, you can see it after crossing a winding road in the mountains.In front of you is a spectacular view of the river seen from Aomomiji.I was very satisfied with the Kawadoko cuisine.I would like to repeat it next year during the firefly season.

2024/08/03 (Sat) Three adult girls in Kyoto went to Takao 😊 I wanted my friend who was in Takao for the first time to experience the cool riverbed, so I made a reservation at ``Takao Kinsuitei'' and arrived at JR Nijo Station. I am very grateful that there is a shuttle to and from ✨Get in a comfortable car and arrive in about 20 minutes ♥️However, I was surprised at how hot it was when I got off the train😅💦The temperature here is also displayed as 39℃, which makes me realize that this year's heat is not normal 💦Still, as we settled into our seats with beautiful blue maple leaves, it felt cool, and we had delicious food and drinks, and it was a fun and enjoyable time 😃 The elaborate dishes brought to you by all the staff were sweaty. As we smacked our lips, we vowed to return for the autumn foliage🍁 season✨The World Heritage Site, Kozanji Temple, is also nearby, making it the perfect place to take a stroll after dinner. It was a very satisfying day for adults to enjoy Kyoto✨Thank you for the meal😊

This year's Kawadoko went to Kaohsiung for the first time in a while. This is my first time visiting Kinsuitei. A car came to pick me up at Nijo Station. The temperature seems to be much lower than in the city, the sound of the river is cool and the green maple leaves are dripping. The seats have chairs, but if you ask, they will provide you with a low chair. Hamo is sashimi and fried. Of course, sweetfish is also delicious. Some places have a smaller portion of Kawadoko cuisine, but this one had a decent amount and I was satisfied. They will also take you to Nijo Station on your way back. Some people seem to go for a walk nearby after eating. The plan cost 8,800 yen for about 5 groups on weekdays, including a group of women and a middle-aged couple, and included a fan and transportation.

The sound of the river flowing right next to me was great.I was able to experience a feeling that I don't have in everyday life.The food was piping hot, and there were many items that I couldn't taste in Kibune.I was very satisfied. It's okay to make a reservation as soon as the food is ready 😃

We had lunch on the riverbed.I used the pick-up plan, so they came to pick me up at JR Nijo Station.It takes about 30 minutes to arrive while relaxing and admiring the scenery from the train window. When I got off the bus, the temperature was different from the city and it was very cool.Lunch was reasonably priced and beautifully presented, allowing us to enjoy a leisurely meal while listening to the sound of the river.I had some time before the bus left, so I was able to visit Kozanji Temple, so I had a fulfilling day.
