A Special Dining Experience
Overlooking Kyoto
Beneath Kiyomizu Temple, at the foot of Mt. Otowa, which has watched over Kyoto for thousands of years, we have opened the newly refurbished Otowa Saryo, where you can take in sweeping views of Kyoto, from Higashiyama (Rakugai) to Nakagyo/Sakyo (Rakuchu).
The floor extends out to the terrace and when the large doors are opened you can see Kyoto Tower from nearly every seat in the house. Come and enjoy a relaxing time embraced by the breath of Mt. Otowa.
It’s so quiet that you will forget that you are in the middle of a tourist spot.
We have designed this place to be somewhere quiet where you can relax and enjoy nice green tea on a comfortable sofa. If you feel like it, you can also sit Japanese style on a zabuton cushion on the terrace, surrounded by greenery. We selected every item with the utmost care so that you can be inspired by Japanese traditional craft.
Memorable Dining in Kyoto with Handcrafted Traditional Items
Satisfy all five senses with a beautiful meal prepared using local and seasonal ingredients served on masterpieces of traditional craft.
Even if you’re just having a cup of green tea, we have done our best to provide you with an enjoyable experience using special items selected from all the good things we have found throughout Japan.
Everything you see on the table at Otowa Saryo is available for purchase at Asahi Touan and Asahido Honten.
Please feel free to ask our staff if you see something that catches your fancy.
