While the main purpose of Tsuboniwa garden is appreciation of beauty it also brings natural air circulation and light into the house. In summer time, a sense of coolness is created in the house by this natural ventilation system. The following photos were taken at our accommodations to demonstrate one of the typical features of machiya houses.

"Ochazuke Bar" in Kiyamachi, Kyoto

| Comment(0) | Trackback(0)
As some of you have already known, ‎"Ochazuke"is a Japanese family cuisine made by pouring green tea, dashi or hot water over cooked rice with savoury toppings. We often eat ochazuke in the morning or at night and this is one of my favorite Japanese foods. There is a "Ochazuke Bar" in Kiyamachi area in Kyoto where you get to try the real taste of ochazuke with some nice sake! This is a good place to taste some local food in Kyoto! FYI, there are lots of bars and eateries on Kiyamachi and Pontchao Streets and if you want to enjoy your night-out in Kyoto those streets are recommended!
