During the summer period from May 1st to October 15th, the restaurant will feature Kawadoko (riverside dining) seating, where guests can enjoy meals in an open-air setting with a close view of the Kamo River. Our Kawadoko, boasting one of the largest spaces along the Kamo River, is one of Kyoto's premier summer attractions, visited by approximately 15,000 people annually. A key feature is the ample spacing between seats, allowing guests to spend time in a relaxed atmosphere while enjoying Kyoto's summer tradition of Kawadoko. This year, we will establish an operational system that prioritizes customer comfort more than ever. For July and August, we plan flexible operations where guests can enjoy the main course of lunch in a cool indoor setting, and then move to the Kawadoko for dessert. *Details on operating hours and service content will be announced at a later date. ▍2026 Kawadoko Lunch & Dinner Business Overview Friday, May 1, 2026 – Thursday, October 15, 2026 *Open daily from May to September, closed on Tuesdays in October Lunch: 11:30 AM – 3:00 PM (Last entry: 1:30 PM) Dinner: 5:00 PM – 10:00 PM (Last entry: 8:00 PM) Lunch: From 4,800 yen (tax included, service charge separate) Dinner: From 10,000 yen (tax included, service charge separate) *Prices vary depending on the menu content and seating location (Kamo River front-row plan). https://www.tablecheck.com/shops/funatsuru/reserve?fpc=147.9.365.3060e9ad2388371l.1808360890000 Seasonal Kyoto French Menu Development *Food photos are for illustration purposes only.

Funatsuru Kyoto Kamogawa Resort is a unique venue that revitalized "Funatsuru," once a long-established ryokan, as a restaurant and banquet hall. "Funatsuru" was founded in 1870 and moved to its current location in 1925. This purely Japanese-style architecture, a landmark of Kyoto's Kamo River for over 100 years, was designated a National Registered Tangible Cultural Property in 2012. Inside the building, the original designs remain, with the exquisite craftsmanship of palace carpenters shining in the orisage-gokutenjo (coffered ceiling) and ceiling paintings by renowned Japanese artists, still radiating a stunning presence. Furthermore, its location along the Kamo River with the Higashiyama mountains as a borrowed landscape is truly a prime spot in Kyoto. This cultural property, which has captivated and will continue to captivate visitors over time, offers extraordinary experiences and special moments with loved ones.
