Using the stations

Bring your own bottle

“My Bottle” is the wording used by Kyoto City for reusable personal bottles. Refill availability is free, but access can depend on the host facility being open.

The source lists the facility, installation location, and dispenser type. Check signs and staff instructions when you arrive.

FAQ

Free water refill in Kyoto

Are these water refills free?

Yes. Kyoto City publishes these facilities as free My Bottle refill stations. Bring a reusable bottle and follow instructions at the facility.

Does this map show every place to get drinking water in Kyoto?

No. It shows Kyoto City's My Bottle dispenser dataset, not every fountain, restaurant, shop, or private refill point in the city.

Does this site save my location?

No. Location is requested only after you choose “Use my location”. Distance calculations happen in your browser and Ototema does not store your position.
