It is near Kifune Shrine, so you can enjoy a walk among the greenery when you are finished with lunch. ＜Kawadoko open for lunch: May 1 - September 25＞

The background music on the kawadoko is the sound of the river and of the wind in the trees. Lanterns are lit up at night, giving it an even more elegant feel.
