Welcome to Japan.
Kiyomizu-dera Temple is a temple built in Kyoto more than 1,200 years ago.
Even in Kyoto, where there are many historical buildings, it is an overwhelmingly popular tourist attraction and is registered as a World Heritage Site.
Kiyomizu-dera Temple, which has a saying that “jumps off the stage of Kiyomizu” and appears in famous anime and movies, is a place that symbolizes the history and culture of Japan.
This time, we will introduce a hotel that has excellent access to Kiyomizu-dera Temple and offers a wonderful experience.
I was born in Japan and raised in Tokyo. Currently, I am staying at hotels all over Japan and working as an IT engineer and blogger. I am writing this blog to let many foreigners know about Japan culture, food, and hospitality.
3 hotels in Kyoto with excellent access to Kiyomizu-dera Temple!

The atmosphere of a stylish old elementary school building remained, and the height of the ceiling of the entire facility brought out the sense of luxury. I stayed for my wife’s birthday, but she offered to prepare cakes and bouquets in advance, and she supported me in celebrating my birthday. The cake was made for my birthday and was exceptionally delicious. I had the best time with a service that exceeded my expectations.

We loved every aspect of it: the staff and their hospitality was warm, helpful.
