Our History
For four centuries, the renowned KAWABUN restaurant has kept its traditions of hospitality alive. Situated in Nagoya and composed of a unique blend between traditional Japanese architecture with Taisho modernism elements, it creates an unforgettable atmosphere filled with history while ensconced within tranquil gardens that offer nature’s finest scenery through every window.
Forms such as waterfalls or fire pits provide further enchantment to this emporium–a living museum celebrating Nagoyan culture–and show how these ancient customs can still flourish alongside time’s continuous evolution.
