Opened in 2018, Kyoto’s Japanese tea specialty shop YUGEN was created to provide a space where both tea enthusiasts and those new to Japanese tea can enjoy. Focusing on Kyoto’s renowned Uji tea, YUGEN carefully selects only the highest quality teas from various regions across Japan.
Located just off Karasuma Street, the shop is nestled on the first floor of an old Showa-era building. Here, you can savor Japanese tea paired with delightful traditional sweets.
YUGEN also offers online sales of original matcha, Japanese teas, tea utensils, and ceramics.
From Kyoto Pleasant Hotel, you can reach YUGEN via a 15-minute subway ride to Marutamachi Station on the Karasuma Line, or by using the hotel’s rental bicycles.
