Starbucks

"Hours: 8 AM – 8 PM --- Most Starbucks outlets worldwide (at 31,000 and counting) masquerade as homey neighborhood coffee shops, circa Seattle in the '90s, featuring earth tones and armchairs. But at the Kyoto Starbucks Coffee Ninenzaka Yasaka Chaya, the decor takes an earlier era as inspiration, evoking the centuries when Japan's merchant class lived in wooden townhouses, known as machiya. Kyoto is famous for retaining the greatest number of Edo-era (1603–1868) machiya, which, after a long period of disfavor, are now appreciated for their elegant, comfortable designs. In 2017, Starbucks opened a store on Ninenzaka, the historical road leading to the Kiyomizu-dera Temple, a massive tourist attraction. It's no surprise that the coffee giant would want to open there, as the sloped street itself is a draw, lined with handsome historical houses and shops. To fit in, Starbucks set up shop in a two-story, 100-year-old machiya. Curtains at the entryway and lanterns on the exterior display the Starbucks mermaid, while inside next to the counter, an austere Japanese garden floods the insides with light. While the menu is fairly typical, customers can either sip at tables on the ground floor or ascend to the second, where elegant scrolls line the walls and tatami mats and cushions line the floors. Sitting on them requires removing one's shoes, an act that would probably be forbidden at any other Starbucks on Earth. https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/starbucks-ninenzaka-yasaka-chaya"

"Dentro un locale storico dell’era Taisho (1912-26), ne conserva l’atmosfera. Si trova in un punto che porta a molti templi, quindi merita uno stop"

"La célèbre enseigne américaine à la sirène ouvre en 2017 à Kyoto son 1er café ☕ dans un bâtiment traditionnel japonais. Quel meilleur décor que l'ancienne capitale impériale pour inaugurer ce nouveau concept de coffee shop qui réconcilie le patrimoine régional du Japon avec ses envies de grande consommation à l'international ? Ancienne résidence de style sukiyaki-zukuri de plus de 100 ans d'existence, construite sous l'ère Taisho (1912 - 1926). "

"If we're talking about Kyoto Starbucks, then there's nowhere more Kyoto-like than the Ninenzaka Yasaka Chaya store. Located in the tourist area of Ninenzaka, this location is quite possibly the most famous Starbucks in Kyoto. The building which houses the store is an over 100-year-old traditional Japanese house, which has even had parts of it designated under Japan's "Groups of Traditional Buildings" category for historic buildings."

"Very unique starbucks, hidden away in the kyoto geisha district. The outdoor sign used to be very distressed, so hard to spot, but on a recent visit in early 2023 they seem to have replaced the sign, and now it's easily spotted by passerby's. This is both good and bad, since the location is that much more packed by tourist. Definitely try to swing by, even if to walk around. It offers rooms and seating areas in traditional Japanese tatami mats. Very unique experience!"
