Private Kyoto Kaiseki & Kinsuitei Architecture Tour

Private Kyoto Kaiseki & Kinsuitei Architecture Tour

Dine at Kinsuitei, a historic ryotei beside Hachijogaike Pond at Nagaoka Tenmangu Shrine, and discover how Kyoto cuisine, landscape, and architecture have developed together. Begin with a seasonal kaiseki meal prepared from carefully selected ingredients; Kinsuitei’s celebrated bamboo-shoot cuisine is featured in spring.

After the meal, architects experienced in the preservation and restoration of traditional buildings guide you through Kinsuitei’s structures from different periods. Access to normally closed areas may be possible depending on conditions, but is not guaranteed. Please share dietary restrictions and allergies in advance so that suitable arrangements can be coordinated.
