Where to find the best food in Kyoto?

Japanese StreetFood

Ramen has become a national staple in Japan and this can be seen in Ramen Sen No Kaze. They serve ramen in Tonkotsu Broth made from pork broth that slips down your neck like butter. Make sure you get there in good time as there is usually a queue to get in!

Okonomiyaki Katsu serves Okonomiyaki, a savory version of a Japanese pancake that is made with flour, shredded cabbage, and eggs. Their cheese and squid Okonomiyaki is particularly unique.

What are the best places to discover the arts and culture of Kyoto Prefecture?

Marvelous Museums and Traditional Geiko Performances

One of Japan’s foremost historical institutions, the Kyoto National Museum houses an impressive permanent collection of traditional art, as well as special temporary exhibitions. The museum’s collections include Momoyama-Edo and Buddhist paintings, handscrolls, ceramics, lacquerware, calligraphy, and archaeological relics. Also of interest to art lovers is the Raku Museum, dedicated to local pottery production, and the Nishijin Textile Center, focusing on the traditional art of weaving and making kimonos. Other museums and galleries include the Museum of Kyoto, National Museum of Modern Art, and Kyoto Museum of Traditional Crafts.

Known as geiko in Kyoto, Japan’s beautiful geishas are synonymous with the country’s ancient cultural traditions, including dance, music, and refined hospitality. Although geiko are rarely seen in public, during the spring, visitors can attend dance performances held in the city’s five geiko districts, including the Kitano Odori at the Kamishichiken Theater and the Miyako Odori at the Minamiza Theater. Another way to experience Kyoto’s fascinating culture first-hand is to partake in a traditional tea ceremony.
