RURU GION opens (Oct 16, 2026)

Café · Gion & Higashiyama

RURU GION, a matcha café next to Yasui Konpiragu Shrine, opened on October 16, 2026. The ground floor does takeaway omikuji (fortune) matcha soft serve; upstairs, the eat-in floor has a 'wet karesansui' table where water trickles from a pagoda sculpture across a dry-garden design, and serves a seasonal bite-size wagashi with freshly whisked matcha. It is the Kyoto branch of RURU in Kamakura and Shibuya, about five minutes' walk from Yasaka Pagoda.
