Fodor's Review:

Near Nanzen-ji temple, Kikusui serves up traditional kaiseki ryori and hot-pot sets with a view of an elegant Japanese garden. The colors of Nanzen-ji-michi are beautiful in the spring, when a large, umbrella-like cherry tree spreads a canopy of pink-and-white blossoms overhead. Autumn, when maples explode in fiery reds and oranges, is also lovely. You can sample the subtle flavors and beautiful colors of Kyoto's traditional cuisine by ordering the kyo-no-aji (mini kaiseki) at lunchtime for a reasonable ¥5,000.

  • Keep in mind: Jacket and tie. Reservations essential.
  • Credit Cards: AE, DC, V
