Japanese Tea House- Starbucks in Nineizaka

It’s been opened a Japanese Tea house Starbucks in Nineizaka since June in 2017, and it’s the only one throughout the world. It’s located near Nineizaka in Kiyomizudera.

From the appearance, it looks like a century-old building of Japanese-style tea house, so it seems not like a modern Starbucks.

It shows the block logo on the left side, and the dark navy curtain on the right side.

However, it’s not so weird that put the Starbuck into this atmosphere.

It usually snows in Kyoto in winter, but deep snow covering on the city is not like that much.

So, it’s rare that the snow cover on Kinkakuji(金閣寺), it’s worthy to go and see it once.💙

I heard that even Kyoto people are attracted this kind of snow view, and I would like to see as well. 💨

The day before I go it started to have a slight snow, and the day when I woke up, it looked like snowing cover on the street. 😇

We can say that it’s snow makeup in Japanese, and it puts a white snow makeup on it.😈

I think that it’s wonderful to have this chance to see snow Kinkakuji, although I have been there so many times.
