Shojin cuisine with a garden view in Arashiyama.

Shigetsu, inside Arashiyama’s Tenryu-ji Temple grounds, is a temple-run restaurant devoted to traditional shojin cuisine. Expect no meat, fish, or eggs—and even bold aromatics like scallion and garlic are avoided—so seasonal ingredients can shine. A meal here feels calm and beautifully paced: silky sesame tofu, miso-glazed Kamo eggplant, delicate wheat-gluten sweets, chawanmushi, and crisp vegetable tempura are standouts. The dining room is spacious enough for gatherings, yet the mood stays quiet, especially with the manicured garden view beside you. It’s an easy stop after sightseeing, about a 5-minute walk from Randen Arashiyama Station.
