About Kamanza

In the heart of Kyoto, between Nijo Castle and the Imperial Palace — a machiya izakaya we hope you will return to.

Our Story

A machiya izakaya
you will want to return to

Kamanza stands in the center of Kyoto, surrounded by sights such as Nijo Castle and the Kyoto Imperial Palace, so it is easy to drop in while sightseeing.

Many luxury hotels and well-known ryokan are nearby, and quite a few guests arrive on a hotel concierge’s recommendation as a reliable, tasty and reasonably priced place.

We want to be a shop that leaves you satisfied and wanting to come back. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you.
