At “eX cafe Gion Yasaka”, which stands on the grounds of Maruyama Park in Kyoto, you can enjoy sweets while watching the cherry blossoms.
Please relax with your favorite menu such as Kyoto-like matcha gourmet.
Maruyama Park is adjacent to Yasaka Shrine, which is known as “Gion-san,” and is known as a place of relaxation for the citizens, centered on the historic Ikezumi strolling garden where carp swim gracefully.
In the spring, it transforms into one of the most famous cherry blossom spots in Kyoto, and there are about 700 cherry blossoms such as weeping cherry blossoms, Yoshino cherry blossoms, and wild cherry blossoms in the park, and it is a big spot that is crowded with many cherry blossom viewing visitors every year.
A particularly popular symbolic existence is the “Gion weeping cherry tree” that rises behind Yasaka Shrine.
In the daytime, the large branches are lit up with beautifully colored flowers, and in the evening, they are lit up to give a majestic appearance.
Seats are available on the 1st and 2nd floors of the store, and you can enjoy the spectacular scenery while enjoying the impressive scenery.
We will entertain you with our devoted meals and sweets, which are so popular that you can line up under the eXcafe brand.
At eXcafe, you can bake the dumplings that have been a part of the common people’s cherry blossom viewing for a long time, and enjoy the freshly baked dumplings with red beans and mitarashi sauce.
Until the dumplings are baked, it will turn into a precious time to feel the four seasons while looking down at the weeping cherry blossoms, the pond, and the people who came to see the cherry blossoms.

The Hiroshima Museum of Art is hosting the exhibition “ZIPANGU: Contemporary Artists Who Defined the Heisei Era” (November 2, 2024 – December 22, 2024). This showcase brings together works by some of the most prominent figures in Japan’s contemporary art scene, including Yayoi Kusama, Takashi Murakami, Makoto Aida, Yoshitomo Nara, Chiharu Shiota, Izumi Kato, Akira Yamaguchi, and Miwa Komatsu. The exhibition has already garnered significant attention, exceeding 10,000 visitors.
HYAKKEI covered the dialogue between contemporary artist Takashi Murakami and Sueo Mizuma, the curator of this exhibition, held at the RIHGA Royal Hotel Hiroshima. We also conducted an exclusive interview with Mr. Mizuma.
The discussions centered on the aspirations behind the ZIPANGU exhibition and offered forward-looking insights, not only into Japan’s art world but also into the rediscovery of value within Japanese culture by its people.
