#柳川屋面包店柳川や-Taichung City West District

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 This time when I came to Taichung, I found that many exhibition venues and restaurants are not open until after 12 o'clock or later, such as the City Hall and Taichung Provincial Hall. Some are not open even on weekends and holidays, like Lele Bookstore. The Yanagawa store we planned to visit would not open until 12 o'clock, but when we arrived at almost 11 o'clock, there was already a group of tourists taking pictures here. Although it wasn't open yet, the outside door was open. Only the bakery and the checkout counter weren't open yet, but you could see the staff preparing things. We just took pictures in the yard. There was a sample imitating a pineapple bread at the scene. It was very large and a bit heavy. Children could not hold it when taking photos and the proportions were not right. But it was still very interesting. It was more suitable for adults to hold it. Although the store is not big, the simple layout of the entrance and the yard is just right. A few bald cypress trees also add some atmosphere to the yard so that it does not feel empty. The reason why Yanagawa Ya attracts tourists' attention is the pineapple bread installation and the store name Yanagawa Ya on the store door as well as the store name written on yellow tape at the door. The simple and neat lines attract a bunch of internet beauties and tourists to check in and take photos. For us tourists, we have to go home on Sunday afternoon and don’t have much time to wait. However, we have other plans and cannot wait until the bakery opens and taste the bread. You can only have the opportunity to taste these delicacies on the first day. If you take a two-day and one-night trip, the time may be a bit tight. (20201129)
