Taki no ya within Kiyomizudera

Hi,

I'm very interested in going to try out the tofu and udon place in the Kiyomizudera Temple grounds called 滝の屋 (Taki no ya). Does anyone have any information on when it is open or if there's a website out there?

Thanks!

I cant really help with that, I've been to Kiyomizudera several times, a few times it was open and a few it wasnt. I had beer and tofu there one night during the lantern festival, it was one of the best meals I've had ever, the tofu is brilliant! Each time after though it was closed D-:

seems to be open from 9:30-5:30 every day except thursdays & holidays according to their website.

Thanks for that! I'll make sure I won't go on a Thursday! Is it a difficult place to find?

not at all, you go through the temple and then follow the path essentially up toward an older temple that tends to be under restoration, then the path comes back around downhill, the restauant is just after a toilet block. I cant remember whether it is before or after the part where you collect water, but you cant miss it.

We have been twice: in 2008 it was in the car park at the end of the walk through the complex: I think that was temporary
In 2009 it was as Lazy Pious suggested: within the temple complex, very easy to find: you wont miss it: and very yummy it was indeed!
Neither time we went was a Thursday, BTW, and we were there around 2pm ish each time.
We (3) each ordered a beer and the udon, and shared a tofu: was perfect
We plan on going again in about 2 weeks!!
Enjoy!!!
