Our neighborhood offers the best of both worlds. Kiyomizu Bettei is situated right at the foot of the World Heritage Kiyomizu Temple. You can easily enjoy a beautiful walk to Kyoto's most iconic spots, including Ninenzaka, Yasaka Shrine, and Gion (the historic Geisha district).

Why they chose this property

I liked the typical 'eel' shape as called in Kyoto (the front side is not so wide and the house extends in length). I thought it could be so nice to preserve this townhouse and make our guests even for few days to live as Kyoto people lived for centuries with traditions plus a more today comfort in the daily house use.

What makes this property unique

【 A Harmony of Traditional Beauty and Modern Comfort 】
Renovated in February 2018, our property preserves its deeply historic and charming exterior while featuring high-end modern amenities to ensure a comfortable stay.
Inside, you will find a beautiful, traditional interior courtyard garden (Tsuboniwa). You can relax in the living room while enjoying the luxurious, tranquil views of nature's seasonal expressions.

【 Prime Location Near Kiyomizu-dera & Yasaka Shrine—Yet Wonderfully Quiet 】
Our home boasts an incredible location, putting you within easy walking distance of Kyoto’s most iconic attractions, including the world-renowned Kiyomizu-dera Temple, Yasaka Shrine, and the historic, atmospheric streets of Ninenzaka.

The surrounding area is exceptionally convenient, dotted with charming cafes, excellent local restaurants, and historic temples and shrines. Yet, because the house is tucked away in a quiet lane just off the main street, it serves as a peaceful hidden retreat where you can unwind and enjoy an incredibly calm, relaxing evening after a busy day of sightseeing.
