In Northern Kyoto, between Kinkakuji and Shimogamo shrine, on a 12 minute walk from Karasuma Line’s Kuramaguchi Station is ‘Okashi Tsukuru’, a kyomachiya (traditional Kyoto wooden townhouse) renovated into a stylish café.
During the renovation the exterior of the café was mostly left untouched. It has the typical Kyoto look and feel with persimmon juice treated dark wood façade and the grey Japanese rooftiles. It has a large glass display window through which you can get a glimpse of the interior inside.
