As expected, it is a very quaint cafe with an old folk house because it is located in Arashiyama. It was a thatched-roof house with a garden, and this time I had it relaxing under the eaves. The pudding I received was a little hard, with a pudding that suppressed the sweetness with plenty of egg feeling, a caramel with an adult bitterness, and a whipped cream that added a milky feeling and richness. If you combine the three, it will have an exquisite taste.

In the cool air of the early morning in late autumn. Can you find the beauty of the natural garden and how you should be? It's not bad to look for something 'lovely', but let's stretch your back at a simple place once in a while.◎A famous picture of Daruma and a ceiling picture of Dragon are also interesting. Visiting in early morning, you can see them without congestion.

It's enjoyable to roll and grill the rice dumplings on Shichirin clay stove by myself. The lovely rice dumplings are while one and green (yomogi) mugwort one. After it's grilled enough, put the mitarashi (sweet soy sauce) sauce or sweet azuki bean jam on them. The beautiful garden is one of the attractions, too.

In the cool air of the autumn early morning, walking on the bridge shining gold by the sun makes you feel going to the moon just like the bridge name. I think morning may be the best time for Kyoto's history.◎This place became the stage of many works such as 'The Makioka Sisters' by Jyunichiro Tanizaki, and a samurai drama 'Mortal Shigotonin'. There're a few people and it's easy to take pictures in the early morning.

A new spot, Yumeyu-tei, which was opened to the public last year. It is a spot where a dyeing workshop and a tea hermitage are fused by renovating a 150-year-old Meiji era building. The room where Yasunari Kawabata was active as a writer and the Japanese-style room with nice round windows. It is full of attractions such as the spectacular terrace where the Katsura River flows in front of you. A fantastic space where the autumn leaves seen from the round window are reflected on the black-painted desk. It is a photo spot with a superb view.
