Noryo-Yuka is a terrace above the west bank of Kamogawa River from Nijo to Gojo, and dining there is one of the summer attractions in Kyoto. Now they open from May 1st to September 30th.
Noryo-Yuka first appeared in the Edo period, the merchants placed wooden benches in shallows of the Kamogawa River around Gojo when they treated their guests in summer. The flood control and bank protection works were conducted in the 17th century, then tea stalls appeared and started some businesses.
It is very hot and humid summer in Kyoto, however, the lights of the yuka lanterns create a beautiful and romantic atmosphere, and a cool breeze blows along the river in the evening. Noryo-Yuka remains in the old days and makes progress still now.
