紅葉観光や祇園散策で知っておきたいのがゆっくり休憩ができるカフェ。街の喧騒を忘れてゆったりと過ごせる、おすすめの一軒。

You can make your own original "blended sake (maisake)" by blending a wide variety of sake imported from all over Japan in your favorite combination.
The Warabimochi of "Kyo Ama Bun-nosuke Chaya" is made from carefully selected strawbutter and has a unique and powerful stickiness, but when you put it in your mouth, it melts in your mouth and you can enjoy its mellowness and moderate firmness. The slightly fragrant Nikki and the sweetness of the Kyoto soybean flour are a perfect match, using a method inherited from the founder, Bunnosuke Katsura. Enjoy the traditional taste in a Japanese-style space near Yasaka Pagoda.
The rich aroma and bitterness of the osu is perfect with the strawbimochi.

This is a collaboration store between Itoken, a long-established Japanese confectionary store established in 1864, and the Kyoto textile brand SOU・SOU.

Featuring a large logo, freshly fried croquettes and fried chicken are popular here. The yuba cream croquette, made with yuba from Kyoto, is filled with a thick, smooth cream. The karaage uses Kyoto-style dashi (soup stock) for a taste that is uniquely Kyoto. The best part of walking up Sanneizaka is being able to enjoy a freshly made karaage when you are hungry.
From left to right: Yuba cream croquettes, 250 yen; Kyoto-style dashi fried tofu, 550 yen for 5 pieces.

Sanneizaka (San-nenzaka)
Sannenzaka (Sanneizaka), with its emotional stone pavement, is a road leading from Kiyomizu-zaka to Ninneizaka, and is sometimes used as a filming location. It is said that the name "Sanneizaka" comes from the fact that many people used to pass through this slope to pray for safe delivery at Kiyomizu-dera Temple, and that Nene, the wife of Lord Toyotomi Hideyoshi, used to pray for safe delivery at Kiyomizu-dera Temple.
Ninenzaka (Ninenzaka)
Niningsaka, lined with cafes and stores using machiya townhouses, is popular as a photo spot for its elegant atmosphere. There are various theories as to the origin of its name, such as "because it is located in front of Sannenzaka (Sanneizaka)" or "because it was created in the 2nd year of Daido (807).
Ichinenzaka (One Year Hill)
Ichinenzaka is a narrow alley extending to the right from the intersection of several roads, including "Nene-no-michi" leading to Yasaka Shrine and Kodaiji Temple and "Ishin-no-michi" leading to Reizan Gokokujin Shrine in Kyoto. It is lined with old-fashioned buildings such as stores and private houses.
Kiyomizu-zaka (Higashiyama-cho, Iwate-ken)
Kiyomizu-zaka, which was created when Kiyomizu-dera Temple was built, became an important transportation route as a shortcut from Yamashina to the Tokaido Highway. As one approaches Kiyomizu-dera, the number of stores increases, and a variety of souvenirs are available. In spring and fall, the "Seiryu-kai" (Blue Dragon Festival) is held, in which a procession of about 18-meter-long seiryu (dragon) and a group of people dressed as gods and other deities parade through the temple.
Chawanzaka (Shimizu New Road)
It was named "Chawanzaka" after "Chawan-ya Kyubei," a man who became a wealthy merchant selling ceramics after the reconstruction of Kiyomizu Temple. Kiyomizu-yaki pottery shops are located here and are popular as souvenirs.
Asahi hill
Asahizaka, a small path connecting Kiyomizu-dera Temple to the east, Kiyomizu-zaka to the north, and Chawan-zaka to the south. Visitors can enjoy not only Kyo-yaki and Kiyomizu-yaki but also traditional crafts from all over Japan from every angle. As you walk up the hill, you can enjoy the view of Higashiyama (outside of Kyoto) to Nakagyo (in Kyoto) and Sakyo (in Kyoto).
If you actually walk around the area, you may come across some undiscovered hills and favorite stores. The slopes are not that steep, so feel free to enjoy a stroll.
