Yasaka-Tower, one of the popular spot for sightseeing, is very close to Rokusho-An, and also the location of this house is very convenient to all the spots at Higashiyama area, such as Kiyomizu Temple, Yasaka Shrine, and many other temples and shrine. A stone-paved street from Tower to a main street is know as "down market archade of tower" and you will find retro coffeeshop, cafe, some shops for small Japanese accessories.
And, the lightup of Yasaka tower at night is very romantic.
