The Matsusaka beef and red rockfish here are top-notch ingredients. Absolutely delicious—couldn’t stop raving about it.

Kiyomizu Jyunsei Okabeya
A yudofu restaurant in an excellent location along the approach to Kiyomizu-dera Temple. Designed to resemble a traditional Kyoto townhouse, the building features spacious, accessible seating, as well as a gift shop on the premises. The terrace at the top of the outdoor stairs overlooks the terrace and fountain of the neighboring Goryukaku, a Nationally Registered Tangible Cultural Property, offering another highlight of the restaurant.
You should try the yuba (tofu skin) made from soy milk hot pot here. They also serve Japanese kaiseki cuisine.

Tenryu-ji Directly Managed Shojin Cuisine Restaurant Shigetsu
Tenryu-ji, a Zen temple of the Rinzai school, is part of the "Historic Monuments of Ancient Kyoto" and is registered as a World Heritage Site. Located within its precincts, the Sogenchi Garden, created by the temple's first chief priest, Muso Soseki, is a pond-strolling garden centered around Sogen Pond.
Come here for vegetarian food! They focus on fresh ingredients and will even adjust the flavors. It's mostly veggie-based and really great.

Akita Inu Kaikan (Akita Dog Hall)
The Akita Inu is a large-sized Japanese dog breed recognized as a natural monument. Despite being a large hunting breed, they are popular for their fluffy and cute appearance. Known for the loyal "Hachiko," the Akita Inu is also reputed for its intelligence and loyalty.
You can experience walking with Akita dogs here—it's pretty fun to feel like you're being walked by these big dogs!
