Timeline
16:41
Grab a lunch set at Hortori Tei. The garden setting is lovely and it is open until 17:00, giving you plenty of time to settle in before the light changes.
17:06
Walk to Ajiro for a drink or a light bite. It is a 14-minute walk from the previous spot. Note that the evening service starts at 17:00, so you will arrive just as they open for the night shift.
17:26
End your walk at the Kodama Residence Garden. Watch the sun set toward the WSW from the garden near the docking port. The former samurai residence provides a calm backdrop for the golden hour light.
Local tip
Ajiro may not be suitable for single diners due to the kaiseki set format. Hortori Tei is a more relaxed option for solo visitors or small groups.
