If you walk along Shijo Street towards the river, just after crossing it on the right, you will come across a street full of restaurants. It is called Ponto-cho which goes from Shijo-dori until Sanjo-dori. We recommend the restaurant with an undecipherable Japanese name, next to another called Switch Forum.
It has a typical bar arrangement where you can either dine in front of the chefs (like in the photo displayed outside) or at one of the tables. Order the makis, sashimi and nigiris you fancy most. The vegetable tempura is also delicious although not included on the menu.
From here, you can take a walk back to the hotel (15 min. to our Smart Choice hotel).
