Dining, summer terrace season

One of the best ways to enjoy Japanese summer is to dine on a kawadoko, a summer terrace built directly over water.

Kibune river, source of the Kamogawa river, is located deep in the northern valleys of Kyoto. Why not take a break from the summer heat and enjoy a delicious meal on the kawadoko deck extending above the river, while basking in the vibrant green light filtering through the trees, listening to the soothing melody of the water below and breathing in the fresh, cool river air.
