Enjoy a special, relaxing moment in a private room where you can feel the hint of fall in the air

Hello. I’m the PR representative for Rakuzo Utage Kyoto Station Branch, where every seat is in a private room.

As the sky grows crystal clear, the first signs of autumn are beginning to appear. Today, I’d like to talk about the soothing experience offered by our “private rooms”—a space we hold dear.


A Sense of Freedom Brought About by a Private Space

The reason we are committed to providing private rooms for every seat is our desire to offer an environment where guests can focus on their conversation with the person across from them without worrying about prying eyes. Although we’re located in the convenient area right in front of Kyoto Station, the moment you close the door, silence envelops the space, creating a special sanctuary removed from the hustle and bustle of daily life. This private setting fosters deep communication with your companion and is sure to provide you with a sense of genuine peace and relaxation. The interior design, which emphasizes traditional Japanese aesthetics, features subdued lighting and the warmth of wood, creating a soothing atmosphere that relaxes both the mind and body. The time spent in these private rooms transforms a simple meal into a memorable and meaningful experience. Please enjoy your conversation to your heart’s content in this space that is all your own.

How to Choose the Best Private Room Based on the Number of People

We offer a variety of private rooms to accommodate everything from small groups to large parties. Our compact private rooms for two are perfect for intimate dates or quiet dinners. Additionally, our medium-sized private rooms—seating 4, 6, or 7 guests—are the ideal size for family gatherings or dinners with friends. Furthermore, we have private rooms that can accommodate up to 12 or 14 guests, allowing us to flexibly accommodate business banquets and large gatherings. By guiding you to the space best suited to your group size, we ensure you can enjoy a comfortable atmosphere—neither too spacious nor too cramped. While all private rooms are functional, they feature a calm interior design that evokes a traditional Japanese ambiance, making them spaces you can confidently choose when hosting your most valued guests.

Tips for Getting the Most Out of Banquet Menus

We offer a wide variety of banquet courses to suit your budget and occasion. For example, the “Taste Course” and “All-Chicken Course” are ideal for those looking for an affordable experience, while luxurious options like the “Four Seasons Kaiseki Course” and “Japanese-Western Fusion Course” are perfect for special occasions. Additionally, if you’d like to gather around a hot pot, the “White Offal Hot Pot Course” and “Taiwanese Offal Hot Pot Course” are popular choices. All courses include a 2-hour all-you-can-drink plan, which is a major benefit as it allows you to fully enjoy the food and drinks without worrying about additional charges. Furthermore, you can choose between “Standard” and “Premium” all-you-can-drink plans, ensuring even those with specific preferences regarding drink selection will be satisfied. Spending time leisurely savoring a course meal in a private room is sure to make your gathering even more special.
