Experience of the stay
A few years ago, I thought, "I want to thoroughly explore delicious spots and places related to books in Kyoto," and thus chose "The Millennials Kyoto". With its reasonable pricing, futuristic smart pods, and cozy feel, along with its convenient location for town walking, it was a charming stay. During this visit, I truly enjoyed the encounters with Kyoto's cuisine and books, so let me reflect on those memories!
The Millennials Kyoto is conveniently located in the central area of Kawaramachi, with excellent access. The front desk is compact and stylish. Smooth check-in and smart bed operations with app connectivity are features of the futuristic design unique to The Millennials that I appreciated. It’s a simple yet calming space, perfect for those who want to enjoy "me time" while traveling.
Experiences during the trip
<Exploring Delicious Kyoto Cuisine>
Breakfast at Cafe KAKO
With its calm atmosphere and antique interior, Cafe KAKO impressed me. I thoroughly enjoyed a classic breakfast with toast and a boiled egg in a peaceful setting.
Lunch at Dining Cafe 11
In stark contrast to its traditional town house appearance, the interior is stylishly modern. The seasonal vegetable lunch was visually pleasing and delicious, leaving me completely satisfied.
Mont Blanc at Saori
The well-known Mont Blanc specialty shop "Saori" is a must-visit. The delicate Mont Blanc made from Japanese chestnuts, prepared right in front of me, was not only delicious but also visually stunning.
Hearty Katsudon at Tare Katsu
When you're craving a hearty meal, head to "Tare Katsu"! The thinly sliced pork cutlet soaked in sweet and savory sauce pairs perfectly with rice, creating a flavor that's addictive.
French Toast at Cafe Smart
At the classical and charming Cafe Smart, I indulged in thick-cut French toast. The perfect balance of crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside makes it a delightful treat during my travels.

Dai-ki Bookstore (quietly located behind Kujodai Bridge)
A quaint secondhand bookstore tucked away in a small alley. The unique selection of books and serene atmosphere made it feel as if I was "called in by the books".
Tenro-in Bookstore, Kyoto Branch
A book cafe bookstore that hosts events and reading groups. More than just books, it's a space that makes you want to return multiple times, as you encounter the presence of people and the air of stories.
Kyoto International Manga Museum
Surrounded by walls of manga, this dreamlike place allows you to spend time however you wish. Even adults can deeply immerse themselves in reading, and a casual pick of a book can turn into a travel memory.
Mola Cafe 〜Coffee, Reading, and Baschi〜
As the name implies, this cafe offers coffee, reading, and Baschi. In a gentle space where you can relax, you can leisurely enjoy both reading and sweet moments.
Wrapping Up at Travelling Cafe
A travelling cafe themed around reading and travel. It’s a space to enjoy the interludes of "books read during travels" and "journeys within books", allowing for a quiet last break time.
