eX cafe Kyoto Arashiyama Honten

In a quiet back alley of Arashiyama, known for the Togetsukyo Bridge and bamboo groves, a refined world that has continued since the Heian period unfolds. The interior of this renovated 100-year-old machiya offers a view of a Japanese garden, a picturesque space that reflects the beauty of the seasons along the flow of the Katsura River. Experience the cherry blossom flurry in spring, the fresh green leaves in summer, the vibrant autumn colors, and the snowy landscape in winter—each season brings a different charm to soothe the soul. Take a break during your stroll in Arashiyama and enjoy a luxurious moment with traditional Japanese sweets that blend tradition and modernity, unique to the ancient city of Kyoto.
