Kyoto — Last updated 2 Oct 2026

Goodmorning! Or as they say in Japan, Ohayou Gozaimasu.

Kyoto is a wonderful city to explore but since it’s sightseeing spots and cafes are extremely popular it tends to get crowded quick! Which means you’re gonna have to wake up earlier to beat the crowd.

Here is our list of early morning cafes in Kyoto.

Disclaimer: We regularly update this page, however we still recommend confirming the opening hours on the cafe’s official website or instagram before visiting.
