Features
On the road to Kiyomizu-dera Temple in Kyoto. It
has been open in April 2008. Three minutes walk to Kiyomizu-dera Temple. From Sannen-zaka and Ninen-zaka, Kodai-ji and Yasaka Shrine it’s about 10 minutes. Walk to Higashi-yama for the most idea spot in your Kyoto sightseeing. Chawan-zaka since ancient times has been a pottery town lined with many ceramics shops. During the day many tourists bustle around, but at night it becomes a quiet residential area you can leisurely stroll and enjoy. This hostel was originally an old house built in the Showa period, but because of various restrictions that came about it was torn apart and was rebuilt as an “inn both old and new” reusing the main pillars, beams, and fittings. Please enjoy the charm and appeal of this Kyoto machiya home at Kiyomizu Youth Hostel. |
