Came to Inoda Coffee to get a taste of everyday life in Kyoto.
From the outside, it’s a traditional wooden building. But once you step inside, it feels like a retro Western-style café. The servers are a bit older, in red-and-white uniforms, and they move briskly between the tables.
It was close to noon when I visited. I ordered an egg-salad sandwich and some pasta, along with their signature Arabica Pearl. Looking around, I noticed plenty of local seniors dining there.
On a trip, getting to experience a slice of locals’ daily routine is one of the best parts of traveling.

If you're visiting Tokyo, I highly recommend staying in Asakusa. You can appreciate a different side of Sensoji Temple there.
In the early morning, before the tourists arrive, you can visit and pray at a relaxed pace. At night, after the crowds have gone, it's completely different from the daytime bustle. Sensoji Temple has a quiet, wabi-sabi kind of beauty in the evening. -

This place is great for browsing, especially with the restaurant in B1. It’s different from the Cafe&Meal locations we have in Taiwan.
At the MUJI diner in Ginza, dinner is served as a set meal, with dishes that are both healthy and delicious. Next time you’re in Ginza, definitely consider stopping by MUJI diner for dinner! -

When you visit Shibamata, besides strolling the old street, you should definitely stop by Shibamata Taishakuten too.
Passing through the Nitenmon Gate feels like stepping back in time. One of the reasons I love visiting temples in Japan is for these quiet, peaceful moments. Whether you join in the traditional prayer rituals or simply take in the atmosphere, it’s all wonderful. -
