Hotels in Higashiyama, Kyoto

Higashiyama is a historic district in eastern Kyoto, Japan. It preserves the city's traditional atmosphere with narrow streets, wooden machiya houses, and numerous temples. The area runs along the lower slopes of the Higashiyama mountains, from Shijo-dori in the north to Kiyomizu-dera in the south.

Key landmarks include Kiyomizu-dera Temple—a UNESCO World Heritage site—and the stone-paved lanes of Sannenzaka and Ninenzaka. The district is a center for cultural heritage, hosting the Gion Matsuri festival in July. Many shops sell local crafts like Kiyomizu-yaki pottery and yatsuhashi sweets.
