Located right next to the very popular Kiyomizu-dera Temple - the streets of Sannenzaka and Ninenzaka offer the most ethereal, dreamy ghibli-like experience. π The streets are filled with historical alleys, and are one of the most prominent must-visit parts of Kyoto. π The nostalgic and dreamy traditional Japanese houses (machiya) are perfect for an afternoon stroll, and the streets boast of cafes and restaurants to a myriad of trinket and souvenir spots. π«
ππ€πͺπ£ππ¨ π‘ππ π π©ππ π₯ππ§ππππ© π¨π₯π€π©, π§ππππ©?
Yes, but β¦ I made the biggest mistake of visiting on a πππππππΏ. π Given the narrow streets and small shops + the amount of tourist appeal, itβs undoubtedly a popular place for many to visit, much less on a weekend. Spaces to walk were limited and all the popular stores had snaking queues, so we ended up not trying any of them. π©π©
Regardless, if youβre planning to head over (on a weekday pls π€πΌ), here are some of the places I think are a must-try!
1οΈβ£ Starbucks
So lame go overseas drink sbux? π€ NO β¦ This one is a MUST-GO. π‘π‘ Itβs the worldβs first tatami-floored Starbucks thatβs housed in a traditional Japanese hut. The exterior is unassuming, and I actually almost missed the store bc the Starbucks logo was pretty elusive.
The ordering kiosk are on the first floor, while seating areas are available on the second. The entire store was so elegant and cosy, itβs no wonder it was crazily crowded when I went π°
2οΈβ£ Kumonocha
Though they have multiple stores in Japan, it was nevertheless still on my to-go list in Sannenzaka. Theyβre a matcha-focused store that serves up beautifully plated desserts and drinks - and I really wanted to try out their Cloud mousse and matcha latte π΅π₯Ί
3οΈβ£ Ghibli Studio
They had multiple outlets scattered around the area - I went to one nearer to the Kiyomizu-dera Temple, and another one within Ninenzaka.
Though I wasnβt that big of a Ghibli fan, they had the cutest photo spots! πΈ
(The one linked is the one nearer to Kiyomizu - thereβs rlly quite a few stores around the area!)

Planning to make a trip there? Whatever you do, just make sure you donβt be a dumdum like me and go on a weekend π₯±π΅π΅βπ«
