In 1969, Kumahiko Co., Ltd. took a pioneering step by opening its first restaurant at the Kyoto Grand Hotel (now RIHGA Royal Hotel Kyoto), the gateway to Kyoto.
In 1978, Arashiyama Kumahiko was established in the scenic area of Arashiyama as a sister restaurant to Tankuma Kitamise.

Amid the breathtaking landscapes of Kyoto, Tankuma Kitamise at RIHGA Royal Hotel Kyoto and Arashiyama Kumahiko continue to refine their craft each day, dedicated to serving authentic Kyoto cuisine that delights every guest.
Our philosophy is deeply rooted in the founding spirit and culinary legacy of our founder, Kumazaburo Kurisu.
Guided by the principle of Busshin Ichinyo (“Oneness of Mind and Matter”), we extend heartfelt hospitality that unites sincerity with masterful craftsmanship.
As a long-established Kyoto restaurant, we continue to embrace new challenges while remaining true to our tradition as we enter a new era.
In this time of constant change, we are deeply grateful for your continued patronage of Tankuma Kitamise at RIHGA Royal Hotel Kyoto and Arashiyama Kumahiko.
