Kibune

Kibune is a small town to the north from Kyoto. Secluded in the Japanese nearby countryside, it is known and loved for its kawadoko (summer wooden terraces), built just over the river. You can have lunch on these terraces both days and evenings. On the menu: a traditional Japanese meal, of course, and a relaxing experience with a gentle cooling moment during hot summer times.
