A local would say...

Hidden near Maruyama Park, this Michelin-starred culinary temple serves kaiseki that redefines what food can be.

One of Kyoto's true culinary temples, this is the main Kikunoi, hidden in a nook near Maruyama Park. Famous Michelin-starred chef Murata delivers the full over-the-top kaiseki experience — from setting to service to exquisitely executed cuisine with a creative twist. Each course tells a story about the season, and the lacquerware and ceramics it arrives on are works of art in themselves. Reserve through your hotel concierge and prepare for a meal that redefines your understanding of food.
