“Beautiful Ambiance, Average Dining Experience”
Kyoto Nanzenji Garden Washoku Restaurant Yachiyo offers a serene atmosphere and beautifully landscaped garden views that enhance the dining experience. The traditional kaiseki-style meal was visually stunning, with fresh ingredients and thoughtful presentation. However, the flavors didn’t quite meet... expectations for the price point, and the service, while polite, felt a bit rushed and impersonal. Some dishes lacked balance, and portions were smaller than anticipated. It’s a pleasant place to enjoy the ambiance of Kyoto, especially for visitors looking for a quiet, scenic setting, but the overall experience was average. Worth visiting once, but not a must-return.

“Unique restaurant inside a temple complex with authentic Japanese dining experience”
An amazing place with choice of dining experience from low tables to floor mats to traditional tables to suit all types of knees! The tofu and various varieties of sea food are amazing. Take an unhurried walk in the Japanese garden after the meal with plenty of good photo ops. Better to go for an ea...rly dinner to get the best service !
