[2025 Kyoto Restaurant] Travel Guide for Starbucks Coffee - Kyoto Sanjo-ohashi Bridge (Updated Jan)

#newyearnewtrip The Starbucks at Kyoto Sanjo is one of the more iconic Starbucks locations in Japan, blending the modern coffeehouse experience with traditional Kyoto architecture. It’s located in a historical building near the Sanjo-dori and offers a cozy, unique atmosphere. The store is designed to reflect the cultural heritage of Kyoto, with elements like wooden beams, paper lanterns, and tatami-style seating. This Starbucks is especially popular with visitors because it’s not just a place for coffee but also a spot to take in the beauty of Kyoto’s surroundings, especially with its proximity to the Kamo River. Some say it’s one of the most atmospheric Starbucks in Japan. #kyoto #japan #starbucks

You see I was staying on the other side of the bridge and would cross atleast 5 times during the whole day. I managed to avoid Starbuck for the most of my trip then just gave in. I figured a quick sneak, get an americarano and run away. My reputation would still be intact. I might have done that twice but the location is nice. You can't really find a lotmof familiar places around this area so when tired it might be worth a shot. It does get busy suddenly at certain hours. Good spot for people watching and for Americans or Starbuck addicts who know nothing better. Kidding! #japantrip#cherryblossom2024 #starbucks #kyoto #summerdestinations #100waysoftravel
