Backyard Coffee and Jazz in Kyoto

I happen to be visiting Kyoto right now. Anyone know the name of this place

Edit: someone else posted the address in this thread.

How are you finding Kyoto so far? Hope you're enjoying it! I live here and absolutely love the city. Happy to help with recommendations if you're staying a while.

Love it, leaving for Beijing in two more days. We are vegan so our dining options are limited, and my wife and kids haven't been before so we are doing the typical tourist things. My friend is a Buddhist monk that lives here and we have been visiting his sangha the last couple days.

Did you have a recommendation or two for less visited but unique areas we could walk around? Thank you!

Very nice, glad you're having a good time! Have you stumbled upon https://kyotovegan.jp/ yet? Lots of good restaurants on there to check out in your last couple of days.

I really love Shimogamo Shrine and the whole Demachiyanagi Area including over to Ichijoji. It doesn't get too busy and the Demachiyanagi Shotengai shopping street is wonderful to walk up and down and see the interesting stores inside, it's covered too so great for the rainy season! There's a cool cinema in there as well as some fascinating book shops. Queue up for Futaba if you want some traditional Japanese sweets but it might be a long wait.

Also the walk up to Shimogamo Shrine from Demachiyanagi Station is so peaceful, especially during the week. I do sound tours around that area capturing interesting sound with field recorders that I provide. It's a very interesting place to find soundscapes and 'hear' Kyoto instead of just see it! If that sounds interesting: https://ohayo.substack.com/p/kyoto-sound-walks

And if you're into sake there's the Fushimi Sake village which doesn't get too busy and is really nice to just stroll around and visit the shops and museums. There's also a river tour. There's another interesting old school undercover shopping street there as well.

Hope you enjoy your last two days here!

Thank you, this is great. We've already picked some things from the Kyoto vegan list.

The sound walks look amazing! We've got a couple kids so can't do it but I'm gonna send that link to my friends.
