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.

Yakurai Garden
Located at the base of Mount Yakurai, the "Yakurai Garden" spans a vast area, housing 400 types of plants. It comprises 8 themed gardens, including the "Rose Garden," "Herb Garden," and "Fururu Hill," making it a leisure spot. From spring to autumn, vibrant flowers blossom in full glory, with a special Halloween event held in the fall.
Discovering the beauty of nature~ Strolling through the rose garden was such a treat. Highly recommended!
