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.
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!
