Kiyomizu Bettei - A 5-star retreat near Kyoto's historic temples and dining

Located just 1640.4 ft from Kennin-ji temple, Kiyomizu Bettei offers refined accommodations in Kyoto's culturally rich district. This 5-star Kyoto hotel provides convenient access to eight nearby restaurants, including Kyoto Gion Tempura Endo Yasaka Honten and Bistro & Beer 3032, all within a 300-meter radius. Guests at Kiyomizu Bettei can explore Shoren-in temple (0.5 miles away) and the Kyoto National Museum (1 mile away) without traveling far. The property sits 1 mile from both Nanzen-ji temple and Sanjusangendo Temple, with the bustling Nishiki Market Shopping District at the same distance.

Pros

Strategic location within walking distance of eight diverse dining options

Positioned within 984.3 ft of authentic Japanese cuisine, including tempura and traditional dishes

Close proximity to multiple historic temples provides easy cultural exploration

Located in a quieter area while maintaining accessibility to shopping districts

Cons

31 mile distance from Itami Airport may require extended transfer time

“Kiyomizu Bettei strikes me as a thoughtful blend of Kyoto's cultural heritage with modern comfort. Its non-smoking environment and on-site spa underscore a commitment to guest wellness, enhanced by its location near Karasuma for easy access to the city. I believe it stands out as a serene and well-appointed base for both leisure and business travelers.”
