Starbucks Japan’s new Kyoto branch will have a traditional Japanese cafe space complete with tatami mats.
It will be in a 100-year-old, two-storey traditional Japanese townhouse, one of the only buildings in the area still in its original form.
There will be three gardens within the wooden building, one in the front, one in the middle and one in the back. Each will have greenery, rocks and light in an attempt to recreate a traditional Japanese interior space.
On the second floor, guests can take off their shoes to sit on tatami mats and cushions with Japanese designs.
