Choosing where to eat in Kyoto can also mean choosing a room, a garden view or an evening inside an old merchant house. Food and architecture are central to EDIT27’s Kyoto coverage, alongside Japanese craft, art and contemporary culture. We look closely at restaurants, private dining rooms and machiya townhouses, including how these buildings are used today. Our Kyoto features and travel guides offer ways to plan a stay around your own interests, with time to get to know somewhere rather than simply visit it.
