Kyoto kaiseki that tastes like a performance on Hanamikoji

Five minutes from Gion-Shijo Station, Gion Maruyama hides in a quiet alley off Hanamikoji, marked by a red lantern at the door. Founded in 1988 by chef Yoshiki Maruyama—trained at renowned Kyoto ryotei—this long-loved kaiseki restaurant has earned a Michelin two-star reputation. Here, seasonality leads: Kyoto vegetables, spring bamboo shoots, and carefully chosen seafood arrive in thoughtful, changing courses. The flavors are subtle, but the plating lingers in memory—bright and delicate, like the ornaments in a maiko’s hair. Course by course, the meal unfolds with a practiced rhythm, turning dinner into a small piece of Gion culture.
