World’s First Traditional-Style Starbucks With Tatami Rooms to Open in Kyoto.
Today we visited Kyotos one of a kind Starbucks set to look like a traditional tea house. The building being used for the new Starbucks shop is a two-storey traditional Japanese house with a history spanning over 100 years. It is a remnant of the Taisho Period and maintains its historical look and feel alongside all the other shops on the street. The building itself and wall were chosen as historical structures to be preserved as part of a plan to protect traditional buildings in Sannenzaka. The wall in particular has been preserved due to its precious architecture. This is a Starbucks that fully respects and values maintaining the feel of a bygone age and will do all it can to ensure the building is conserved. It’s a completely new experience that combines Kyoto’s tradition and culture with the modern Starbucks coffee culture.There are 3 tatami rooms on the second floor where you take your shoes off to relax and feel at home. This is certainly the best way to enjoy your favourite coffee from Starbucks. Each tatami room also has its own original hanging wall scroll to maintain that combination of Kyoto culture and Starbucks culture.
