Just arrived here on July 24, 2021 20.00 and the ambiance is awesome as many people reviewed this place. You could enjoy some hot cocoa and listen to a relaxing music while waiting for your washing finished.

A very peculiar place, the kind u can find only in japan ahahah It really helps to kill the boredom of waiting for your laundry to get done. Problem is my stuff came out not so clean, some stuff was still stinky and stained, I don't know what could have I done wrong in a completely automatic washing machine. Thanks and salutes from Italy!

Accidentally found this place while looking for a laundromat, and pleasantly surprised. Got some burgers (very good), beer, coffee, while waiting for our laundry (~1hr). Very friendly and helpful. Very relaxing space.

I went here for a meetup and it was a lot of fun. The place has a very nice, Brooklyn-like vibe and friendly staff. Nice combination with the laundromat too although I haven't used their machines yet. Mainly I recommend their English meetup!

Me and my boyfriend did a cooking class here and it was a truly amazing experience, we learnt how to cook our favourite Japanese dishes and learn about the cooking culture, our highlight being the famous Japanese rolled omelette. Our chef teacher was so lovely and interesting she really made it a special experience. This is a must do if you’re in Kyoto! Don’t miss it, highlight of our trip!
