︎︎︎︎☑︎What kind of shop is it?
Kamiyama Spring Water Coffee Sen is a coffee stand located in the grounds of Kamigamo Shrine, one of Kyoto's most powerful spots.
Follow the "Coffee" sign you can see after passing through the west torii gate and you will arrive at the shop☕️.
︎︎︎︎☑︎Menu ordered
The appeal of this shop is that you can enjoy drinks made with spring water, which can be said to be the shrine's holy water!
This time, I chose "hot coffee" and Kamigamo's specialty "yakimochi".
The mellow and soft coffee tasted like it cleansed my soul✨
The combination of red bean paste and coffee is a recommended pairing that goes well together🫶

︎︎︎︎☑︎Recommended points and impressions
Rather than a cafe, it's "a special time to take a break in a sacred place".
It's also attractive that you can drop in after visiting a shrine.
They also have tea-based drinks, so it's easy for people who don't like coffee to use it, which is a nice point🍵🌿

Why not stop by while sightseeing in Kyoto?
