A Japanese tea specialty store established in Kyoto in 1717, offering matcha and sencha. You can enjoy their tea at the café called Kaboku within the shop, but they also offer takeout options. However, note that the prices inside the shop are a bit high, so takeout is recommended.
A large park located next to the Imperial Palace. It is conveniently situated with many train stations in the vicinity. I recommend enjoying tea or having lunch at the terrace on the ground floor of “Matsumoto-ro” Restaurant, which is located near the center of the park. There is also a unique library with an unusual […]

(It used to have nice cafes, restaurants, sundries, and other stores, but most of them have been replaced!) It is a little far from the station, so you don’t pass by it often, but […]
