Ganko Takasegawa Nijoen がんこ 高瀬川二条苑

Kaiseki, sushi and tempura in the former villa of a 17th-century merchant, whose garden is fed by the very source of the Takase canal. A garden walk is included with your meal.

About

This estate once belonged to Suminokura Ryoi, the merchant who dug the Takasegawa canal in 1611, and later to Meiji statesman Yamagata Aritomo. The stroll garden, with a stream that becomes the Takasegawa, is open to diners. The restaurant is part of the Ganko chain, so menus are accessible and varied: kaiseki sets, sushi, tempura and shabu-shabu, with options for all budgets. It is a good-value way to dine in a historic garden setting in the middle of downtown.
