Kyo-yakiniku Hiro, Gion Yamanaan: Wagyu Yakiniku in a 120-Year-Old Former Ryokan
Kyo-yakiniku Hiro, Gion Yamanaan occupies a former ryokan building said to be more than 120 years old, set beside the Shirakawa River in Kyoto's Higashiyama district, about four minutes on foot from Keihan's Gion-Shijo Station. The restaurant serves Japanese Black beef, branded in-house as Hiro Beef, in private and semi-private machiya-style rooms rather than an open yakiniku-hall format, with 122 seats across 13 different room variations. Course menus run from about 6,000 to 10,000 yen per person and include a range of grilled cuts, with the flagship 10,000-yen course adding sea urchin yukhoe and a wagyu chateaubriand steak; a la carte items such as salt-grilled wagyu tongue and sirloin are also available. It is open nightly from 17:00 to 23:00 (last food order 22:00) with no regular closing day apart from December 31 and January 1, according to the restaurant's official website.
