I introduced “floral piggy” from KamakuraGoro before. This time, Summer Piggies got suntanned and have smiling eyes.

They have two flavors “Chinese citron bean jam and White peach bean jam”. These lovely Japanese-style confections are best served chilled.

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!

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!
