Noryo Yuka

Noryo Yuka is a terrace to enjoy dinner in the cool breezes of the evening. Their wooden floors, connected with restaurants, are built over the Kamo River from Nijo-dori St. to Gojo-dori St. in summer (Lunch: May and September, Dinner: from May to September).
The custom goes back to the Edo period (1603-1867).

Formerly, Most of the restaurants in Kyoto specialized in the country dishes. However, recently, they have diversified and internationalized; French, Chinese, Thai and Starbucks!

Why not having a special dinner on Noryo Yuka tonight???
