At FUNATSURU, you can enjoy Kyoto's many faces throughout the four seasons, including cherry blossoms in spring, cool riverside dinners and fire festivals in summer, and splendid autumn foliage. Encounters with exquisitely dressed geisha are hardly rare here.
FUNATSURU's historical and artistic value has been highly acclaimed as a time-honored, large-scale work of architecture on the banks of the Kamogawa, and has been registered as a tangible cultural property of architecture by Japan's Agency for Cultural Affairs.
Inspired by traditional French cuisine, ours is distinctly "Kyoto-French," using only the freshest Kyoto vegetables and best domestic beef in which the flavors of ingredients are prized and savored.
There is one restaurant and three banquet halls on the premises. Japanese art adorns each of them, and they command a stunning view of Higashiyama and the Kamogawa, two dominant features of the Kyoto landscape.
FUNATSURU, a vestige of Kyoto's past, lays just a five-minute taxi ride away from JR Kyoto Station. It is located in the heart of Kyoto, where numerous shrines and temples dot the area.
