Kawadoko in Kyoto - eating Kyoto food outside

One of the summer speciality has come! In kyoto, many restaurants beside the Kamo river offer a seasonal event called Kawadoko which we are able to eat some food at terrace. Meaning you can enjoy Kyoto food and stunning view simultaneously. We strongly recommend it due to limited event. It's held only from May to the end of September. On top of that, we can do it at lunch time only in May and September. That is to say, mostly it's at night, though both are great. If you were grabbed your attention, why not going there!?
