    Kyoto Prefecture Kyoto Shi Higashiyama Ward Shijyo Ohashi Ebisu
    A theater which has been in operation since the Edo period (1603–1868) located in Higashiyama Ward in Kyoto City. The theater has held kabuki performances for close to 400 years in Shijogawara where kabuki originated from, making it the oldest and most tradition-rich theater in Japan. The current building, four stories above ground and one below, incorporates modern and Momoyama architectural styles and was designated a Tangible Cultural Property in 1996. The theater’s performances of the Kaomise, held each year from the November 30 to the end of December, have become a winter tradition in Kyoto, and the sight of the traditional signboards presenting the performers’ names in Kanteiryu calligraphic style crowding the theater front above the entranceway is renowned.

    I went with my language school. Even if you don’t understand what the play is about, like me, the visuals and acting was an experience on its own. Definitely go if you get a chance.

    カメラの電池が切れてしまったので、カフェ「KENYA(ケニア)国際交流会館店」でコーヒーを飲みながら充電しました。 受付で電池切れの事情を説明すると一緒に電源コンセントを探してくれて、カフェに案内してくれました。 親切・丁寧な応対に感心しました。

    Kyoto-shi Higashiyama-ku

    This is a jazz venue and bar, not a restaurant. It seats about 20 people, so every seat is a great seat. We really enjoyed the music - so close to the stage! A very good bar selection, and a small...

Its wooden tea houses, shuffling geisha, and spiritual sights have seen Kyoto hailed as the heart of traditional Japan, a world apart from ultramodern Tokyo. Despite being the Japanese capital for over a century, Kyoto escaped destruction during World War II, leaving behind a fascinating history which can be felt at every turn, from the fully gold-plated Kinkakuji Temple down to traditional customs such as geisha performances and tea ceremonies, which are still practiced to this day.
