About this restaurant

  • Great for scenic views
  • Romantic
  • Good for special occasions
Located in Higashiyama, east of Nanen-ji and west of Heian Shrine, Yachiyo is in a premier spot in which to experience the atmosphere of old Kyoto. First established as a fishmongers in the mid-16th century, it can still be found in the records of Hideyoshi Toyotomi – a pre-eminent feudal lord, warrior, general, samurai, and politician of the Sengoku period – who called on the restaurant to provide fish for a festival. Soon after, the former store changed to become a full scale restaurant, quickly gaining the adoration of visitors to the ancient capital. Yachiyo still hopes to protect and honor the history and beauty of Kyoto. Relax and explore its curated gardens, the scenery of old Higashiyama, and the exquisite Kyoto cuisine.

    このお店は料理と雰囲気は抜群です。この地域は、湯豆腐が各店で競っています。 料理は湯豆腐をはじめ会席料理も有るので席についてそのときの気分で選べば良いと思います。 残念なのは駐車場が少ないことです。

    南禅寺界隈を散策中にランチする時に多くを求めなければ使いやすい。価格も周辺では良心的。 ホールのスタッフも慣れている感じでした。

    湯豆腐のお店京都の南禅寺近くの 八千代さん。 お庭を見ながら美味しい湯豆腐か熱々で食べることができ、ゆったりとしたお席でした。 女性には量はぴったりですが(〃^ω^〃) 男性にはすこーし少ないかな?と感じます。 私はムスメと一緒に食べる湯豆腐は最高でした。

    Traditional Japanese dining room overlooking a beautiful garden. If weather is nice, request to sit on the patio. English menu available, and though staff had limited language skills that evening, they went out of their way to ensure their foreign guests had a great experience. A bit pricey, but worth it for a nicer night out .
