Frommer's Review
Kyoto's only revolving restaurant, located on the 14th floor of the Rihga Royal Hotel, is a good choice for a romantic dinner. Unlike most other revolving restaurants in Japan, which usually move so fast that you fear being flung against the windows by centrifugal force, this one, I'm happy to report, takes a leisurely 90 minutes to revolve, affording excellent views over the tops of Kyoto's temples to the mountains surrounding the city. With a smart Italian marble decor, it offers a seasonal menu that may include roasted lobster with vegetables and herb sauce, pan-fried veal with basil sauce, and Japanese tenderloin steak with truffle sauce, with most entrees available in small and large portions.
