Higashiyama — Kiyomizudera & the Historic Preserved Streetscapes

Higashiyama (東山 — 'Eastern Mountain' — the district on the eastern hills of Kyoto, the most extensively preserved historic district in Japan): the Higashiyama sannai (the inner Higashiyama area, designated an Important Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings) preserves the most complete streetscapes of Edo-period machiya townhouses and temple approaches in Kyoto, including the Sannenzaka (三年坂 — Three Year Slope) and Ninenzaka (二年坂 — Two Year Slope) stone-paved lanes flanked by traditional craft shops, tea houses, and restaurants.
