Itinerary

Tourist spot: Kiyomizu-dera Temple

Kiyomizu-dera Temple, a World Heritage Site, is known for its "Kiyomizu Stage," which offers a panoramic view of Kyoto. While a tour usually requires climbing up and down steep slopes (Kiyomizu-zaka and Chawan-zaka) and stairs, this tour will take you there by taxi, using ramps within the temple grounds, and wheelchair-accessible routes. You can enjoy the cherry blossoms and autumn leaves of each season, as well as the beauty of the historic architecture, to your heart's content, while conserving your energy.

Restaurant: Shimizu Junsei Okabeya

Located near the approach to Kiyomizu-dera Temple, this renowned restaurant specializes in yudofu and Kyoto cuisine, surrounded by tranquility that will have you forgetting the hustle and bustle. The restaurant, renovated from a townhouse that is over 100 years old, is charming yet fully barrier-free (with ramps and wheelchair-accessible toilets). Guests in wheelchairs can relax and enjoy dishes made with smooth, homemade tofu and seasonal Kyoto vegetables at comfortable table seats.
