Robin, a popular Japanese restaurant in Ponto-cho, Kyoto.
Located between the Kamo River and Kiyamachi, Ponto-cho is a narrow stone-paved road leading from Sanjo to Shijo. In Hanamachi, a Japanese geisha district representative of Kyoto, you can feel the history of the capital. It is also a popular tourist spot known for its crowded tea houses and Japanese restaurants. Here in Ponto-cho you can also admire the sight of noryo-yuka (raised platforms on the bank of a river for enjoying the summer cool), which are a symbol of summer in Kyoto. Visitors flock here every year to enjoy the elegance of the Kamo River with delicious Kyoto cuisine. Experience the charm of the Imperial Capital in Ponto-cho, where Ponto-cho Robin is located.
So that you can enjoy Japan's distinct seasons, we pack each dish with seasonal ingredients, beautifully presented for a rich dining experience.
