Lonely Planet review for Ninen-zaka & Sannen-zaka
Just downhill from and slightly to the north of Kiyomizu-dera, you will find one of Kyoto’s most lovely restored neighbourhoods. The name refers to the two main streets of the area: Ninen-zaka and Sannen-zaka, literally ‘Two-Year Hill’ and ‘Three-Year Hill’. These two charming streets are lined with old wooden houses, traditional shops and restaurants. If you fancy a break, there are many teahouses and cafés along these lanes.
