【Kyoto】Enjoy the city lights of Japan at this rooftop bar: in the Moon.

Many tourists come to Kyoto seeking its historical architecture and unique cityscape. Recently, more and more rooftop bars have been popping up in the Gion district, Kawaramachi, and Higashiyama areas. Among them, “in the Moon.” is popular for its chic and open air vibes, and it’s only a 2-minute walk from Gion Shijo Station. This bar on top of a 9-story building is a modern space of wood and gray tones. You get a view of Kyoto and the Kamogawa River while sipping on some beer or cocktails and biting into delicious food.
