| Kyle recommended this bar on the third floor that you would never just stumble upon and it turns out to be the coolest bar i've been to in Kyoto. It's owned and run by Kyoto photographer Kai Fusayoshi, who you can see on the left. He's a super friendly guy and so was his bar tender girl who all talked to us and included everyone in the bar in the convo and it was just a super friendly place. It's called Hachimonjiya |

| a ton of his photo books |
