Guest Reviews
“We recently had a family dinner at Le Un Akagane Resort's restaurant. The food was perfectly cooked - the meat was tender and all dishes were hot when they arrived at our table. The flavors were well-balanced and every plate looked beautiful.”

“An authentic dining experience in the heart of Kyoto’s old town. A bit tucked away, but truly a hidden gem. Ambience, service, presentation, and taste: 5 stars.”
