Kifune Cosmetic & Gallary, a selection of groceries and coffee shops next to Kifune Shrine in Kyoto, Japan

Usually, tourists who visit #Kurama-dera Temple and #Kifune-jinja Shrine will choose to eat the expensive riverbed cuisine at the narikatsu mat. Although it is very refreshing to eat with the sound of the gurgling stream, the narikatsu mat is always crowded with people, and it is almost becoming a buffet! give up.

Kifune Cosmetic & Gallary is a handmade product store that also serves as an art gallery and coffee shop. It has a large beautiful floor-to-ceiling window, from which you can see the green mountains of Kibune, as well as the travelers passing by on the bus. Can you vaguely see someone drinking coffee?

As you enter, you will see a wide variety of sundries and small items, all of which are cute and designed in a unique way. The high-ceilinged wooden space makes it very comfortable to shop in. No wonder most of the customers in the store are female.

The coffee + cake combo is 1100 yuan, which is 0 yuan cheaper than the cool mat. It’s nice that no one is competing with you for a seat by the window. You can just put on your sunglasses, stare out the window leisurely and drink your coffee. People passing by outside also looked at me and walked in curiously. Just like that, there were a lot of people in the store again!

After a short rest in the coffee shop and recharging my batteries, we set off for the next stop: changing hotels!
