Lonely Planet review for Saraca Nishijin
This is one of Kyoto’s most interesting cafés – it’s built inside an old sentō (public bathhouse) and the original tiles have been preserved. Light meals and coffee (¥400) are the staples here. The honjitsu Nishijin (daily Nishijin lunch; ¥890) plate is decent value. Service can be slow and scattered but the interesting ambience makes it worth a look. It’s near Funaoka Onsen and is easy to spot.
