Soiree (喫茶 ソワレ)
A venerable café founded in 1948 located a one-minute walk from Kawaramachi Station. Famous for its connection to the painter Seiji Togo, the café sign and interior is decorated with his paintings. The café’s renowned jelly punch, five different colors of jelly floating in Japanese cider soda, is refreshing to the eye as well as the body. Many customers come for this beverage alone and it can sell out in hours after the café opens.

Kyoto Areas

Its wooden tea houses, shuffling geisha, and spiritual sights have seen Kyoto hailed as the heart of traditional Japan, a world apart from ultramodern Tokyo. Despite being the Japanese capital for over a century, Kyoto escaped destruction during World War II, leaving behind a fascinating history which can be felt at every turn, from the fully gold-plated Kinkakuji Temple down to traditional customs such as geisha performances and tea ceremonies, which are still practiced to this day.
