Among the many beautiful places that I have seen in Kyoto, a favorite location is this shore of Kamo River, running parallel to Ponto-cho. Most of these buildings are restaurants built in a traditional style, on wooden pillars over the water.

The diffused light coming from terraces, combined to the soft gurgle of the water makes ths place perfect for a relaxing summer night… Simply beautiful!
