Enjoy both fun and gourmet food! 4 recommended restaurants in Umekoji area

The new Umekoji Kyoto West Station opened in March 2019. Around the new station, there are many spots for friends and family to enjoy together, such as Umekoji Park, Kyoto Aquarium, and Kyoto Railway Museum! In this issue, we will introduce some restaurants in the increasingly bustling Umekoji area that can be used for a variety of occasions. Please enjoy both fun and gourmet food to the fullest!

1.Authentic burgers at Burlesque, a hideout-like space

This is a hamburger store in the front and a hair salon in the back, two stores in one space. In the eat-in space, you can enjoy hearty burgers and sandwiches with an American taste. We also recommend the home-brewed coffee and New York's local beer, Brooklyn Lager, to go along with the burgers. Spend a wonderful time in this fashionable space with greenery everywhere.
