Do you ever go into a particular cafe and feel all the tension leaving your shoulders as you give a sigh of happy comfort? That is how I feel when I go into Sagano-yu cafe in Arashiyama, a beautifully restored old Japanese bath house which is now a cafe and shop.
There is a calming mix of white, wood and greenery, with contemporary signage alongside original furniture and fittings.
I love this place and hope that one day you will get the chance to visit.
