Saganoyu. It's a cafe renovated from a public bath, and I enjoyed the atmosphere that makes us feel like being a public bath! Their pan cake is simple and like a Japanese 'hot cake'. I ordered ice cream with it.

It is a bar in The Hotel Seiryu on the way to Shimizuzaka. The indoor seats are chic and nice, but the rooftop bar is Kyoto! It is a superb view overlooking the Yasaka Tower of Hokanji Temple, Kyoto Tower, Kiyomizu Temple, and Ryozankannon! Personally, the sunset time is romantic and recommended.

After passing through the stately gate, there was a cafe and a garden in a renovated storehouse, and a garden spread out on the way to the detached building through the mansion. The creek flows and I am excited to leave. Five-tiered afternoon tea in May and June, Kyoto and KASANE. It seems that the five-tiered jug is an image of a five-storied pagoda. The green leaves that spread out in front of me were beautiful, swaying in the wind.

Kaiseki cuisine served on the riverbed of Okukibune. Himuro somen noodles that can be enjoyed in an ice bowl only during the midsummer season. It looks very cool. Somen noodles served in a clear ice bowl are cold and delicious. The riverbed of Okukibune is cool. Enjoy somen noodles in an ice bowl while gazing at the flow of the river and enjoy the ultimate cooling sensation.

This observation restaurant turns round slowly taking one and a half hours. You can enjoy the changing scenery of Kyoto including Kyoto Tower and Toji temple while eating French. There was a little bit feeling like an amusement park.
