Monade Contemporary is a hidden gem of a gallery located in the Gion area of Kyoto. Despite its small size, it leverages the extensive network of its curator, Mr. Atsumi, to host exhibitions featuring a diverse range of fascinating artists from both Japan and abroad. Nestled in the basement of a multi-tenant building, the compact space exudes a unique charm, offering visitors an exciting sense of discovery.

Issey Miyake store. Amazing crew, wear, shop. 

Koto In zen temple. Peaceful, luxurious, out of time. 

If you have that famous I-see-faces-everywhere thing, look twice. The Face House really exists in Kyoto, created by Kazumasa Yamashita in 1973-1974. Don't miss it - it's something really faceinating!

Small yakitori restaurant. Mika is the chef and she knows how to get your stomach full in style.  Really really good cuisine, cool ambiance, unexpected reggae playlist.
