[2025 Kyoto Attraction] Travel Guide for Kiyamachi-dori (Updated Jun)

assemblage+ is an ice cream and cake specialty store located in Kyoto's Kiyamachi, featuring wood and stone elements in its decor, creating a strong literary atmosphere. The minimalist and high-quality design is very photogenic, especially the beautiful first-floor work bar where you can watch the preparation process. Upon researching, I found out that it is a branch of the popular bakery Assemblage Kakimoto, known for its unique handmade chocolates and pastries. There are ten flavors of ice cream to choose from, and three combinations with pound cake (ice cream flavors can be chosen freely). ✓ Italian Ice Cream + Pound Cake ¥1650 ✓ Espresso + Italian Ice Cream ¥1760 ✓ Pistachio Pound Cake + Italian Ice Cream + Vanilla Cream ¥1760 I was very impressed and loved it. Not only is the decor beautiful, but the food is also of high quality. It's rare to find a place open until 10 PM. If you want to have dessert at night while in Kyoto, assemblage+ is definitely the best choice. assemblage+ 🕰️ Business Hours: 1200-2200 📍 Address: 484 Kiyacho, Nakagyo Ward, Kyoto, 604-0961 Japan

There was a woman slurping something in the shop, and I was curious, so I went in. I cautiously approached the order counter and... It was a "suba" shop (a soba noodle shop) 🫣 There was a normal staff member behind the order counter. ↑Of course 😝 Inside the shop, the glass of the entrance door had "suba.kyoto" written in small letters 😨 This time I ordered "Sudachi fig" It was a rare menu, but the soba was delicious 😊 The standing counter where you eat soba is apparently a work of art. It was an interesting shop in Kyoto 😆 #soba #soba #suba #kyoto #gourmet #kyototrip #kyotosightseeing #sobanoodles #kyoto #summerweekendtrip

#0 yen trip The restaurant was a little hard to find! There are only a few seats, so I recommend going early! There are many customers from overseas, and the president was a very friendly and kind person! The beta-yaki was a very delicious dish similar to okonomiyaki!! It seems that you can't make a reservation, so you have to line up in front of the restaurant😊 📍Address: 1F Reiho Kaikan, 366 Kamiyacho, Nishikiyamacho-dori Shijoagaru, Nakagyo-ku, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture 604-8024 　　　　　Okonomiyaki Masaru, a beta-yaki specialty store in Kyoto's downtown 🕰️Business hours: Mon, Tues, Wed, Fri, Sat, Sun 17:00-21:00 💰Price per person: From about 1000 yen

Many restaurants in Kyoto close early at night, so even if you come to Kyoto on holiday, you may go straight to the hotel, but this restaurant is open until the morning, and the quality of the bonito meat is very satisfying! It's a great place for a second or third stop! If you're traveling to Kyoto, you should enjoy the night as well, not just the temples! 🫶🏻🫶🏻 Yakiniku Takumi Kakuo Kiyamachi-tei 📍Address: 266-1 Higashi-iru Kitasha-ya-cho, 2-chome, Kawaramachi-dori Sanjo-sagaru, Nakagyo-ku, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture 604-8021 🕰️Business hours: 18:00-7:00 #0 yen trip

I stayed in Kyoto for 7 days. I have to say that the shops in Kyoto are so cute. Especially this chestnut dessert shop by the Kamogawa River is worth a special trip Chestnut lovers should not miss it. Their chestnuts are full of chestnut fragrance and all of them are made from Mont Blanc from Tanba chestnuts. The chestnut filling has no saccharin taste. I thought it would be greasy if I ate the whole thing (I don’t eat chestnuts much), but it didn’t taste sweet at all hhh The scene of squeezing chestnut paste is very healing~ We walked in and had a seat (it is recommended to make an appointment in advance during peak hours) Kyoto Prefecture Kyoto City Shimogyo District Kiyamachi Street Matsubara Ue 2 Chome Izumiyacho 170-1 # Sakura 2024

Cherry blossom viewing in Kyoto is an experience you can’t leave out when visiting Japan during the spring. Based on the latest forecast, it is expected to bloom from 24 March 2024 and peak at 1 April 2024. Here’s my top 6 viewing spot for Sakura in Kyoto, based on my 2023 solo trip: 📍Arashiyama 嵐山: take a stroll along the river bank, hop into the Sagano romantic trains or take a boat while going down the river. This is one of the places to enjoy cherry blossoms differently. 📍Keage Incline 蹴上インクライン: abandoned railway track framed with cherry blossoms, before taking a break at Blue Bottle Coffee 📍Kiyamachi Dori 木屋町通: enjoy an evening walk under the cherry blossoms after dinner at the Pontocho Alley. 📍Philosopher's Walk 哲学の道: Approximately two kilometres long, this is my favourite spot. But as it gets quite busy so best to visit early! 📍Maruyama Park 円山公園: probably one of the most popular night spots as you can dine beneath the blossoms. 📍 Yawaragi Road 和らぎの道: A lesser-known spot, it is nearer to Kameoka JR Station Where else will you recommend for Sakura viewing in Kyoto? #cherryblossom2024 #thingstodo #kyototrip
