A traditional Japanese dining experience featuring seasonal kaiseki cuisine in a picturesque riverside setting.
MK Guide Recommends
Kibunesou is a long-established restaurant along the Kifune River in the mountain village of Kibune, north of central Kyoto. The restaurant is best known for its seasonal kaiseki cuisine and for summer kawadoko dining, where meals are served on platforms built directly over the flowing river to escape the heat. Menus change with the seasons and typically feature local specialties such as salt-grilled ayu (sweetfish) in summer and warming hot pot dishes in winter. The setting emphasizes cool air, running water, and quiet surroundings, making Kibunesou as much about atmosphere and seasonality as about the food itself.
