Eat at Japan's oldest soba joint before rocking out at Taku Taku

Soba restaurants are everywhere in Kyoto, but Owariya stands out from the crowd: founded in 1465, it's the oldest eatery of its kind in all of Japan, and continues to serve up some of the country's finest buckwheat noodle dishes.

Once a dilapidated former sake brewery, this nondescript Kyoto building is now home to the city's best-known underground gig spot. Taku Taku keeps things rocking with an in-your-face attitude, quirky décor and an uncompromising booking policy.
