Ninenzaka & Sannenzaka VR360 Walk | Kyoto, Japan

Experience a VR360 walk through Ninenzaka and Sannenzaka, two of Kyoto’s most famous historic streets, on the traditional route toward Kiyomizu-dera Temple.

The walk begins along Ninenzaka, a stone-paved street lined with traditional wooden townhouses and shops. This nationally protected historic district preserves the atmosphere of old Kyoto.

Along the way, you will pass Starbucks Coffee Kyoto Ninenzaka Yasaka Chaya. At first glance, it may not even look like a Starbucks. The café occupies a traditional Japanese house more than a century old, with a discreet wooden sign, a noren entrance curtain, and tatami-mat seating.

From 2 minutes and 8 seconds, the route continues onto Sannenzaka, also known as Sanneizaka. This historic slope is associated with prayers for safe childbirth at Kiyomizu-dera and is also famous for an old superstition: anyone who falls here will lose three years from their life.

The street is lined with shops selling Kyoto sweets, snacks, traditional crafts, and Kiyomizu pottery. The final stone steps connect with Kiyomizu-zaka, the main approach to Kiyomizu-dera.

Explore the beautifully preserved streets and traditional architecture of Kyoto in immersive 8K VR360.
