[2025 Kyoto Restaurant] Travel Guide for Blue Bottle Coffee - Kyoto Kiyamachi Cafe (Updated Apr)

First visit: What is this? 😔 Second visit: Wow, so nice to stroll and like 🤩 Following the 📍Kamo River, you usually go to the place shown in picture 2, which is also my first impression of Kamo River haha~ There are stairs at both ends of the bridge that you can walk down, and many locals like to sit by the river and chat, which is very pleasant 🍃~ Walk straight along the river, turn at the intersection shown in picture 5, and the whole street is full of surprises, with many famous shops such as Lelabo (coffee shop), blue bottle☕️, Sayori chestnut cake🍰, wife&husband🍞, etc., all on this street~ Little tips📝 1⃣️There are two subway stations that can take you to Kamo River 🚇: Kiyomizu-Gojo Station, after exiting, follow the location to get to the river as shown in picture 2 🚇: Kyoto Kawaramachi Station, after exiting from Exit 1, turn right and you will see the street with many beautiful shops 👣But no matter which station you get off at, you can walk to the other side~ 2⃣️Shops in Kyoto are very laid-back, and it's normal for them to close 3-4 days a week. Before traveling, use Google Maps to check the business hours of the shops. Cake shops usually close at 18:00, with last orders taken half an hour before. 3⃣️It's recommended to set aside a whole day for Kamo River, to cycle or walk by the river during the day, have a chestnut cake in the afternoon, and then spontaneously enter any shop you like to discover unexpected surprises

#japantrip Burbo built on the site of the building that used to be formerly Rissei Elementary School 🩵 Beautiful space full of greenery outside the building and inside 🌿 One of the Blue Bottle Coffee branches i had visited. The coffee was rich and aromatic, brewed to perfection. The staff was friendly, and the ambiance was chic and inviting. nice cafe with a relaxed atmosphere. Nice big windows allowing in natural light and affords nice views of the street and river outside. I went first thing on a weekday morning to see foreign customers It's a huge crowd inside and it's popular as expected! I was meeting a friend this day. Take out Nora float and waffles ノ I wish I could have stayed more because I love greenery Address: Japan, 604-8023 Kyoto, Nakagyo Ward, Bizenjimacho, Japan Open Hours: 09:00 - 16:00

#japantrip The Blue Bottle Coffee Nanchan Temple store consists of two old buildings in front and back 🏘️ The concept of the front building being a store and the back building being a coffee shop🏡 Coffee beans and coffee utensils are both on sale🫘🫖 There is also a vending machine in this old house which makes a big contrast👀 There is also a seating area here and a reservation is required for The Lounge Kyoto🪑 You can try three kinds of coffee and desserts in a space full of Japanese atmosphere📋 I didn't have a reservation that day so I just tried the Waffle plate strawberry butter cream which is only available at this store🧇 Added strawberry butter that looks like ham to the signature scorching sun waffle 🍓 Costa Rica single origin bean latte has jasmine and bergamot flavors☕️😌 The environment is so comfortable that we sat there until the snow stopped before leaving❄️🤓 #foodie #food
