Romantic evenings in Kyoto

Fri, January 20, 2012

There are so many places to spend an evening in Kyoto… Most tourists choose to go to Gion, the famous geisha district, especially on Hanami-koji-dori or on Shirakawa-minami-dori… and there are many other great options.

My favorite place for a romantic evening in Kyoto is on the riverbanks of Kamo River: if you cross Shijo-ohashi, the bridge close to the famous Minami-za Kabuki theater, you will see a string of ochaya and traditional restaurants, with balconies opened towards the river.

It’s a very romantic place, especially for a summer evening, favored by couples but also by anyone who enjoys the freshness of the river water. You can stroll alongside the river admiring the beauty of the traditional buildings, I saw a spot where you can even cross it if you dare, and if you get tired, those friendly restaurants await you…
