The 6th floor restaurant floor "Yodobashi The Dining" of the commercial complex "Kyoto Yodobashi" (Shimogyo-ku, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture) in front of Kyoto Station will begin a sequential renewal from the spring of 2026.
With the catchphrase "Why don't you catch your breath?", it will be reborn as a calming restaurant floor that provides a space and cuisine where those who are tired from sightseeing or shopping in Kyoto can take a breather. The renewal will be carried out in two phases, with the first phase scheduled to open in late April 2026, and the completion of the second phase scheduled for late August 2026.
Background and Concept of the Renewal
Fifteen years have passed since its opening, and the environment around Kyoto Station and the needs of our customers have also changed. To provide the value of "calmness and comfort" that is exactly what is needed in a bustling station area, we have established the new concept "Hotto Hitoiki Ikoi no Dining (A Relaxing Dining to Catch Your Breath)". We will provide "a slightly better time that is an extension of everyday life" as an enjoyment after shopping at Yodobashi Camera or as a rest between sightseeing.
Two Points of the Renewal
[Food]... Enrichment of specialty stores for "Japanese food, sushi, and meat". A lineup that satisfies both special days and everyday life.
In response to the needs of local customers in their 30s to 50s, as well as Japanese tourists and inbound tourists, we will revamp the tenant composition. We will expand highly specialized business categories such as "Japanese food", "sushi", and "steak" to become a "reliable restaurant when you are unsure of what to eat in Kyoto". We will provide a "higher quality dining experience" with high satisfaction within reach, rather than the high threshold of a luxury restaurant.
[Space]... To a dining street full of openness
Refreshed to an open design with a chic interior based on black. By adopting a spacious seating arrangement, it will be reborn into a relaxing lounge-like space.
