Yamanaka Cafe
@kansai
This is located in the middle of Higashiyama, a great rest stop for those passing along between the northern & southern corridor. The exterior and interior of the cafe are very interesting and rather picturesque if you ask me.

Love matcha? They've got a matcha fondue you can try. There's a second location at JR Kyoto Station.

喫茶上ル
@kansai
Machiya-style (traditional Japanese wooden townhouse) cafe. If you want to embrace the vibes of this traditional city and take a coffee or a dessert break, this is a great place to do it. Has a second floor.

Cafe OPAL
@kansai
Lots of cool retro decor inside. Owners are really nice and the food is decent. Great place to chill after a day's walk on the east side of Kyoto.

Cat Cafe Utanekodo
@kansai
Love cats? You can get cat-shaped parfaits and floats here. Come early though. There's bound to be a queue as patrons often stay at the cafe for awhile, and some items on the menu are limited in quantity.

Cafe Kocsi
@kansai
Loved the atmosphere and decor, even though the place was a bit busy when I was there. Dessert was pretty good.

Trendy little cafe/bar type hideout. Usually quite busy during the day, but the food is decent and it's right in the middle of the shopping area. Great place to take a break if you're in the area.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Kansai & Beyond 💻
Available for hire
Hello! 👋 I'm Jenny and I lived in Osaka, Japan (the Kansai area) for 10 years. I've traveled to all 47 prefectures in Japan since 2019, and I've got plenty of tips & tricks on my blog website http://kansaibeyond.com on how to travel.
I would love to share my travels of the Kansai area, Japan and beyond with all of you.
My travel style: I'm a solo female traveller with experience driving around Japan, but can also give you tons of tips of using public transport. My friends and my partner tags along on my travels plans too! I love hot springs ♨️, and travelling to off the beaten path areas in Japan with a car.
Important things when travelling in Japan for me:
Food 🍝, cafes 🍵, castles 🏯, temples ⛩️, hot springs ♨️ and nice brisk hikes wherever possible. A bonus if we catch some 🌸cherry blossoms and 🍁 fall colours too!
Also a seasoned Pokemon manhole hunter, anime enthusiast and concert goer so ask me about those too!
