A town where the Takase River flows and the atmosphere of Kyoto lives on. In a great location right near Shijokawaramachi, you can enjoy hidden shops and seasonal scenery.

[The best of Kyoto in everyday life] A luxurious time immersed in the stream of the Takase River and the atmosphere of Kyoto Located just a step away from Shijokawaramachi, the most glamorous area in Kyoto, this neighborhood is a truly "adult hideaway" where the convenience of the city and the tranquility of the ancient city coexist. The biggest attraction is the Takase River that flows gently through the city.In spring, the beautiful cherry trees form a tunnel, and in summer, the lush willows sway in the wind along this river, and just walking along this path will relax your mind.At night, the warm lights from the traditional townhouses are reflected on the water, giving it a different, more fantastic look than during the day. There is no end to the enjoyment of food.From a long-established Kyoto restaurant to a renovated, stylish Italian restaurant and a specialty home-roasted coffee shop, there are many famous restaurants that stimulate the senses.Kyoto's oldest flower town, Miyagawa-cho, and the Kamogawa River are also right next door, and if you are lucky, you may see a Maiko-san on her way to practice. Walking distance to major tourist destinations such as Kiyomizu-dera Temple, Gion, and Nishiki Market.Why don't you find your own special Kyoto, not listed in the guidebook, based in this place where Kyoto's "present" and "history" intersect?
