It was my last evening in Kyoto and I wanted to finish off 4 great days with a good meal. As I had had curry for lunch I decided to try to find a Yakatori restaurant that wasn’t too far from my hotel.
The usual review sites were consulted and it turned out there was a reasonable restaurant about 150m away, just across the road.

Arashiyama is about 15 minutes by train west of Kyoto.
The area is designated as a Historic Site as well as a Place of Scenic Beauty. You’ve probably seen photos from Arashiyama before showing the world famous Sagano Bamboo Forest.

I visited Beer Komachi on my first visit to Kyoto a couple of years ago. I checked the reviews to see if 1) it was still in business, and 2) if the craft beer bar still had good reviews, which it did, so decided to make a second visit.

I’d been waiting for my first yakitori, aka barbecue meat on a stick, meal since I’d landed in Japan.

It was the end of my first full day in Japan and after the Shinkansen trip from Tokyo to Kyoto, and having checked into my hotel, I was looking for my first real Japanese meal.
I jumped on the subway and headed one station east to Kyoto Shiyakusho-mae Station near the Kamo River.
