Located right at the start of the Philosopher's Path. A 100% buckwheat galette specialty store produced by Le Bretagne. Japan's first creperie, a store specializing in buckwheat galettes. Located just a one-minute walk from the start of the Philosopher's Path, our store offers easy access to Ginkakuji Temple, Nanzenji Temple, and other places. The interior of the store, a renovated townhouse, features a small courtyard and veranda, creating an open yet calming Japanese space where you can relax and unwind. Our galettes, made with carefully selected ingredients, have the traditional taste of their birthplace, Brittany. Enjoy them with some directly imported apple cider.

Yachiyo Garden faces the approach to Nanzenji Temple. A space where you can enjoy Kyoto cuisine and the garden of gardener Ueji to your heart's content. We are proud to offer a relaxing Japanese space where you can enjoy authentic Kyoto cuisine together. Our Kyoto Kaiseki cuisine, which is a specialty of Nanzenji Temple, is created by using seasonal ingredients, seasonal tastes, and inherited techniques, and we pursue a unique taste that cannot be found in other restaurants. The interior of the restaurant shows different expressions each time you visit, with general seats facing the incline and Nanzenji Temple approach, sunken kotatsu seats modeled after kabuki theaters, and tatami and alcove seats overlooking the illuminated Seiryu Garden.

In the Qinglong Garden, with Higashiyama as the background, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the four seasons designed by the famous gardener Ogawa Jibei while tasting the seasonal Kyoto cuisine. The restaurant offers a variety of seating options, including tables and chairs facing the Nanzen-ji Temple approach, tatami hollow seats, and zashiki seats with views of the illuminated garden, bringing you both visual and taste enjoyment.
