Kiyomizu Junsei Okabeya

Kiyomizu Junsei Okabeya is ideally located along the bustling approach to Kyoto’s iconic Kiyomizu-dera Temple, famous for its specialty, Yudofu (tofu hot-pot). Designed in the style of a traditional Kyoto townhouse, the restaurant offers spacious, barrier-free seating areas as well as an on-site gift shop. Particularly appealing is the view from its upper terrace, accessible via external stairs, overlooking the adjacent Goryukaku, a nationally registered tangible cultural property, and its picturesque fountain.
