Kodaiji Park
About
Nestled in the historic Higashiyama district, Kodaiji Park is a peaceful public green space offering a quiet respite from the bustling temple crowds. Its elevated position provides lovely views of the surrounding traditional rooftops and the nearby Yasaka Pagoda, especially during sunset. It is a perfect spot to sit, rest your feet, and soak in the old-world atmosphere of Kyoto after exploring the adjacent Kodai-ji Temple.
Insider Tip
Visit in the late afternoon with a matcha ice cream from a nearby shop to enjoy the sunset views over Kyoto's historic tiled roofs.
