So I went out of my way a little bit to find this place again on Google maps and review it. I’m not sure why the poor reviews but it was a great stop for us after walking around all day and visiting the temples and parks. Open air seating out front allowed the 4 of us to easily make a quick stop for a snack without having to walk around with it, and the seating was spacious enough. The workers taking my order and making food were friendly and easy to communicate with, even with my limited Japanese.

💴 the only setback is that it cost 600yen which I thought was rather pricey for what it is
Good place to chill and have a treat be it if you are passing by or...
