Glad to hear that you liked our recommendations!! Actually, Kyoto, like the rest of Japan is very, very safe. It is probably the safest country in the world to live in. There aren't really any 'rough' neighborhoods in Kyoto. Good food can be had most anywhere, however it does take some time to discover the restaurants that you will like. As far as where to live, I would say that the north of the city is better than the south. I would not live south of Shijo Street, unless I were going to live in Fushimi. A bit of a distance from the center (Shijo-Kawaramachi/Karasuma), either the Western Hills (Arashiyama), Kita Yama (North Mountains) or Higashi Yama (East Mountains) areas are great for living as you can often live near some greenery -- a temple, etc and still be a 15 - 20 minute bicycle ride to the city center. I have lived in several neighborhoods between the Kamo River and the East Mountains, above Sanjo Street and always been pleased. Enjoy and tell us about your discoveries and experiences here!

Honten is the main restaurant and Kiyamachi is the restaurant in the Kiyamachi district of Kyoto. Honten is a bit more expensive. The owner recently wrote an English language book entitled, 'Kaiseki' that has received quite a bit of press. Here is the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Kaiseki-Exquisite-Cuisine-Kikunoi-Restaurant/dp/4770030223/" rel="nofollow">link on Amazon</a>. Hello Rose,

Can you answer two related questions: 1) What is Kikunoi? Is it a place for the gourmet food? What is honten vs. kiyamachi? Different restaurants in different parts of Kyoto? What is the difference between Kikunoi and honten vs. kiyamachi? Sorry, I am confused about the classification of these Japanese names. Also, can you let me know the approx. budget for the gourmet food? I like the sound of Mame-cha and Harvest. Great to have these budget-oriented recommendations. Thank you! Hi, PekoPeko,

I have never heard of that. Will investigate. I hadn't had wasabi Doritos yet -- probably never will as I ODed on them when I was a kid. I do remember the first time I had wasabi potato chips though. They kicked!! Love your site! Hello Michelle,
