  We are located in Kyoto's Higashiyama Ward, close to the city center. From Kyoto Station, use the JR Nara Line and change trains at Tōfukuji Station, then take the Keihan Main Line to Kiyomizu-Gojō Station, or take a train bound for Yodoyabashi from Gion-Shijō Station and get off at Kiyomizu-Gojō Station. From the station, you will reach us on foot in about 3 min. Use exit 2, then follow the road eastwards and enter the third street on the right. You will find our store on the right side after about 100m, on the ground floor of a big apartment building. Look for a large double door with golden frames and wooden lattice doors behind the windows next to it. We will meet inside the golden tearoom.
