Maeda Kyoto

Maeda sits in the Gionmachi Minamigawa district, a five-minute walk from Kennin-ji Temple. It serves Japanese seafood and sushi in a room that runs smart and elegant. The restaurant holds the no. 38 ranking on the 2024 La Liste.

Most venues in this corner of Kyoto trade on the proximity to the main Gion thoroughfare, but Maeda prioritizes seclusion. While the neighbourhood fills with tourists moving toward Maruyama Park, this space offers a quiet remove from the foot traffic. It is a better choice than the clustered sushi counters nearby for those who prefer a measured pace to the usual rush of the district.
