Japan Travels: Ninenzaka Street, Kyoto

#wheretogo This iconic district is one of the oldest ancient streets back from the old days in Kyoto. The place is surrounded by traditional houses that operates as stores or restaurants for all to enjoy the cultural feeling and vibes. A must-go area when visiting in Kyoto because this is also where we can take a photo with the pagoda tower at the back and a 100 years old Starbucks is located here. The place is surrounded by a lot of tourists and locals to spend the day shopping and feel the real Japanese vibe here. Their streets and slopes are very aesthetic to take photo at, we walked around and enjoy the beautiful views around. We stumbled upon a Ghibli store that sells all Ghibli films’ merchandises, we are big fans of it and we went in and take a few photos with the one and only Totoro. They sells puzzles, goodies, apparels and figurines, they even sell snacks that resembles the characters in the films. We walked around in the evening where the sun is slowly going down, we finally spot the famous 100 years old Starbucks store, its the most unique store in whole Japan because it uses the traditional house as a cafe, it’s very special and well decorated. The best part is they have tatami mat to sit on to enjoy the drinks, it’s truly an incredible moment to be inside taking a sip in their delicious coffees.
