What you're trying to book
Kyoto Kitcho Arashiyama sits in a traditional walled garden a fifteen-minute walk from Hankyu Arashiyama Station. Three Michelin stars. Chef Kunio Tokuoka is the third generation of the Kitcho family, and his kaiseki leans more classical than experimental.
Lunch from ¥40,000 per person, dinner from ¥50,000, both plus tax and service. Closed Wednesdays. The 180-day booking window is wide but the April and November slots still fill within the first week.
How reservations actually work
Kitcho is one of the rare top-tier kaiseki with multiple English channels. The official site books up to 180 days out directly, and TableCheck and OMAKASE carry additional allocations. Phone at +81-75-881-1101 is Japanese only.
The cancellation policy is strict — 100% charge same-day, 50% the day before, 30% within five days. If your plans can shift, pick a flexible date first and lock the booking in well before that window closes.
If you want Moshi Moshi to book it for you
Because the English channels are good, most travelers can book themselves. Where Moshi Moshi helps: the date you want is full online but you suspect cancellation seats, you want a specific private tatami room, or you want to clarify dietary preferences in proper Japanese before the day.
We call in keigo, ask about what's not posted, and confirm in English. No charge unless the reservation lands.
