京阪線の祇園四条駅からわずかの距離に、スタイリッシュな「カフェ カワタロ」が東山エリアにあります。2014年にオープンして、有名な八坂神社、高台寺と清水寺の観光地の真ん中に位置してます。

外観はシンプルでスタイリッシュですが、暖簾をくぐるとガラスの引き戸から店内に入ります。店の手前にはキッチンと小さな丸いテーブルが配置され、このスペースは北欧のデザインが取り入れられています。カフェの奥に進むと、広々としたラウンジスペースがあり、その奥には全面ガラス張りで、素敵な伝統的な庭園が広がります。

ゆったりとした時間を過ごしながら、コーヒーとスイーツを楽しむことができ、美しい庭園を眺めることができます。春や秋の時期には特にここを訪れるのはおすすめします。
