Kyoto Ninenzaka Yasaka Chaya Starbucks Branch

Posted On Thursday, February 01, 2024 by GREEN WALKER PILIPINAS 0 comments







Have you ever wonder how it feels to drink your morning coffee inside an antique house in Kyoto Japan?

We dropped by in Starbucks for our much needed caffeine fix one rainy day. The Starbucks branch in Kyoto Ninenzaka Yasaka Chaya was a 100-year-old traditional house converted into a coffee shop. Boy, was I bowled over by the uniqueness of this cafe. The creaking floors added warmth to this Centenarian building. We are all aware that the upkeep of an old building is a great challenge because it is both an art and a science.


The shop is located in Ninenzaka, a popular street that leads to the World Heritage-listed Kiyomizudera Temple. The unique features of this tatami-floored Starbucks Coffee store took ten years before it debuted on June 30, 2017.

The Starbucks project team wanted to create a "one-of-a-kind shop that conveys the culture and history of Kyoto more than ever before."

However, it wasn't an easy feat. Finding the perfect place was more complicated than expected since most traditional Japanese buildings are small and cannot fit a colossal coffee shop. Moreover, reforming an old building was going to be a challenge.

Even after a building was selected, turning it into a shop while complying with regulations wasn't easy. The Kyoto Ninenzaka Yasaka Chaya shop was only completed with cooperation from local governments.

Are you like me who love taking photographs even inside the John?

I took the photo above inside the comfort room of Manila Hotel's Champagne Room 🍾  when we attended a wedding there.

If you happen to visit Manila Hotel, you ought to try using the comfort room of the Champagne Room 🍾 because of their full ceiling to ceiling mirror which is great in raking photos.

We dropped by Twin Lakes Hotel in Tagaytay and had a free taste of their Free Puto Bungbung.  

I love Christmas time because the various hotels here in the Philippines decorate their lobbies with wonderful Christmas ornaments and even offer freebies for guests and even to non-guests alike.

Japan

Posted On Wednesday, December 27, 2023 by GREEN WALKER PILIPINAS 0 comments


Japan is one of my dream destinations. So imagine my happiness when that dream finally came into reality!

The language barrier is real but because of the latest technology such as google lens translation everything went smoothly. 

Japan culture is very Filipino in my own opinion. At such a young age, Japanese kids are taught how to be prim and proper. Most of them if not all are very polite. They even go out of their way to show you the way to whatever it is that you asked them about.

For sure, we will be coming back for more. 

Merry Christmas everyone

Kinkakuji Temple in Kyoto Japan

Posted On Saturday, October 28, 2023 by GREEN WALKER PILIPINAS 0 comments

Rokuon-ji which is better known as Kinkakuji 金閣寺 or Golden Pavilion is a Zen temple in northern Kyoto whose top two floors are completely covered in gold leaf. The golden temple was the retirement villa of the shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, and according to his will it became a Zen temple of the Rinzai sect after his death in 1408. Kinkakuji was the inspiration for the similarly named Ginkakuji (Silver Pavilion), built by Yoshimitsu's grandson, Ashikaga Yoshimasa, on the other side of the city a few decades later.

Kinkakuji is an impressive structure built overlooking a large pond, and is the only building left of Yoshimitsu's former retirement complex. It has burned down numerous times throughout its history including twice during the Onin War, a civil war that destroyed much of Kyoto; and once again more recently in 1950 when it was set on fire by a fanatic monk. The present structure was rebuilt in 1955.

SABAH MALAYSIA

Posted On Saturday, October 07, 2023 by GREEN WALKER PILIPINAS 0 comments

 

My brother and I went on a river cruise at Sabah in Malaysia. We were able to spot the proboscis Monkeys at their natural habitat. We learned that they eat leaves and fruits. Such a healthy lifestyle indeed. No wonder the male proboscis monkeys have several female partners because they live long and has up to 6 partners all at the same time. They live like a king.
