Yamabana Heihachidiya em Kyoto - Kaiseki tradicional japonês secular

Because it was lunch, and the actual price per person was over 500 RMB (not including the Klook booking fee), the ingredients used in the dishes were average (for example, the bowl dish used duck meatballs). What I liked most about this visit was the young woman who served us; she was lively, cheerful, and a little shy. When you didn't understand something, she would actively use a translation app on her phone to look it up and explain. Her hands were red from too much exposure to cold water, but she maintained perfect posture and etiquette in front of guests throughout. Honestly, you rarely see such a lovely young woman on the mainland. I'd come again just for her! For tourists eating kaiseki, I still recommend going at lunchtime. Firstly, dinner will be much more expensive, and you might encounter noisy guests who have had too much to drink. Secondly, eating too much at night can lead to indigestion. Thirdly, at night, it's dark and you can't see the garden scenery clearly. Behind the teahouse is the Kamo River, and the gurgling water is very pleasant. After the meal, the proprietress waited at the porch, and after seeing us to the door, she waited in the cold wind until we got on the bus, bowing to bid us farewell. This dedication to every table of guests is truly a microcosm of why Japanese kaiseki is worth experiencing.

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.

The elegant ambiance, beautiful scenery, and attentive service from the hostess at this high-end Japanese restaurant were exceptional. The dishes were visually appealing and delicious. It was particularly rare and appreciated that they offered a private room with an independent restroom (with a bidet) even though I was dining alone. On the day of my visit, I arrived an hour and a half early, feeling tired. The server promptly took my luggage to the room, offered hot tea, and suggested I could wait there. However, I didn't want to miss the beautiful garden view outside. After the meal, I was escorted to the entrance, and we waved goodbye across the road as I boarded the Route 41 bus.

A delicious and healthy meal enjoyed by both local Japanese and tourists! A ryokan-style restaurant with a river view while you enjoy your meal!

The owner arranged the room with the best view for us, with a picturesque river right outside the window. The dishes were exquisite, and the service was excellent.

这是一个非常棒的体验，我会把这家店推荐给朋友们。如果以后有机会再来京都，我一定还会光顾的😻😻😻😻

Dining in an old house over 400 years old, full of surprises and感動, facing beautiful scenery and delicious food that looks like a painting.

A wonderful environment with a long history that made all 14 of us feel very relaxed. There is a parking lot nearby where we could park, as we drove there ourselves.

Great service and wonderful scenery. It features a small garden design. We ordered two different set menus to experience different kinds of kaiseki cuisine, highly recommended.

Fantastic experience! The host warmly greeted us right at the entrance. It's a traditional Japanese courtyard with meticulous attention to detail everywhere—highly recommended! The two of us ordered different set menus. They even escorted us all the way to the door after our meal. Wonderful service!
