Two-year Slope

Two-year Slope features traditional wooden buildings with slanted roofs along a stone-paved path leading to Kiyomizu-dera Temple.

The slope originated in the Edo period as a pilgrimage route connecting the residential areas of Kyoto to the Buddhist temple complexes.

Local artisans maintain workshops and stores selling handmade ceramics, paper crafts, and traditional confectionery along the stone-paved pathway.

The street opens daily from sunrise to sunset, with direct access from Kiyomizu-Gojo Station through local bus routes 100 and 206.

Merchants and residents follow strict regulations prohibiting modern signage and requiring the maintenance of classical wooden architecture from the Edo period.
