Review for: <Private Room> Kaiseki Lunch Course

Since it was lunch, and the actual price per person was 500rmb+ (not including the reservation fee included with Klook), the ingredients used in the dishes were average (for example, the ingredients for the bowl were duck meatballs). What I liked most about this visit was the girl who greeted us. She was lively, cheerful, and a bit shy. When you encountered something you didn't understand, she would actively use a mobile phone translator to look it up and explain it. Her hands were frozen red from being in contact with cold water too much, but she maintained her posture and etiquette in front of the guests throughout. Really, you basically can't see such a lovely girl in mainland China. I'll come again next time for her! I recommend tourists eat Kaiseki at noon, firstly because it will be much more expensive at night and you may encounter noisy guests who are drinking and having fun, secondly because eating too much at night is not easy to digest, and thirdly because you can't see the courtyard scenery clearly at night when it's dark. Behind the tea house is the Takano River, and the gurgling water is very pleasant. After the meal, the female owner waited in the doorway, and after seeing us to the door, she waited in the cold wind until we got on the bus and bowed goodbye. This dedication to every table of guests is truly an epitome of the Japanese Kaiseki experience.

Review for: UNAGI (eel) Lunch Course with Reservation

My family and I really enjoyed our experience at Yamabana. Everyone from the servers to the host were extremely kind, thoughtful and made our experience enjoyable. The view of the Kamogawa river was very relaxing. We ordered the Unagi, Tempura, and Imperial lunch menu set. Everything was delicious. Their tofu puff dessert was tasty too.

Review for: <Private Room> Kaiseki Dinner Course

The elegant ambiance and beautiful scenery of a high-end Japanese restaurant, with attentive service from the female manager. The dishes are beautiful and delicious, and even though I was alone, they were willing to provide a private room with a separate toilet (washlet), which is very rare. I arrived an hour and a half early that day, and feeling tired, the staff quickly took my luggage to the room, offered hot tea, and said I could wait in the room. But I didn't want to miss the beautiful scenery of the garden outside. After the meal, they saw me off at the door, waved goodbye across the street, and I boarded the number 41 bus.

The historic and great environment made all 14 of us feel very relaxed. There is a parking lot nearby where we can park. We drove there by ourselves.
