This is Starbucks Coffee’s first coffee shop with tatami floor inside the 2-story traditional Japanese teahouse which is over 100 year-old. Instead of the Starbucks’ iconic green logo, the Ninenzaka Starbucks welcomes guests with a traditional Noren (entrance display).

The coffee is located at the first floor, and there are tatami rooms on the second floor where guests can enjoy relaxing with coffee.
