Yasaka club

Museum

👍👍 For a limited time, the interior and gardens are open to the public as the Forever Museum. The idea of viewing art in the tatami room is also interesting. The building is a tangible cultural property.

Pizzeria Da Naghino

Pizza restaurant

👍👍 I’m just writing a review to cancel out Lily’s one-star review, who clearly didn’t appreciate the difference between standard pizza and Neopolitan pizza. This pizza was even better than the pizza I had in Naples. Super fresh and tasty. I even finished my crust which I usually hand off to my partner....

😐 A memorial hall that used the home and workshop of Yasuyuki Namikawa (1845-1927), a master of cloisonné ware who was active from the Meiji period to the early Showa period.

Tondaya -Nishijin Japanese Cultural Experience Museum

Japanese restaurant
