4.Kezuruhiya (けずりひや)

Kezuruhiya is located near the famous shrine called Yasaka shrine.
This place is popular especially among young generation because of its artistic shaved ice. Shaved ice is one of the Japanese traditional sweets for mostly summer but you can enjoy it throughout the year.
You can enjoy the Kyoto’s original taste: Macha, Hojicha and Kyoto earl gray tea flavor. And the surface is decorated with lovely design like temple or geisha, looks more like latte art. That would be nice as photo of Japanese memory. There are nice couch and big comfortables eat so you can feel relaxing during your travel.
