cafe flowing KARASUMA
This is a cafe in Kyoto that is inside of a renovated old western-style building. It has high ceilings that give it a nice spacious feel.
There are always lots of customers, but Kyoto’s relaxed atmosphere and the comfortable environment will let you relax. The lunch course was also delicious!

Kyoto international manga museum
This is the place I like the most in Kyoto! We renovated a closed school building for making this museum. Therefore, we use classrooms as manga exhibition rooms.
In this museum you can read manga freely as you want! Some read manga in a hallway. Others lie back and read manga on a tatami mat. You can also sit reading manga on the terrace or on the lawn.
This museum holds a workshop for drawing manga and painting anime figures. We also invite a manga celebrity for a talk show. Here is the place we can enjoy ourselves whenever we visit. I want to live in here if possible!

Mitarashi-matsuri, a festival that is held every summer at Shimogamo-shrine in Kyoto.
Only during the festival, people are allowed to step into the pond with deity water of the shrine. Soak feet in the beautiful and cool pond, light a candle, then have the water of the shrine.
This is a festival for people to remove their sins and impurities and to wish for their health and longevity.

Prinz : designer’s hotel at Kyoto
I stayed at Prinz, designer’s hotel pioneer at Kyoto. It also has a cafe, a gallery, and a bookstore. It’s near Keibun-sha (a famous bookstore at kyoto).
I stayed alone in a large-room with a very large size bed. It seemed to sleep with 5 people.
