However, the cost can be justified. I saw a Yumeji exhibition for the first time since I was in elementary school, and I used to think it was overrated, but it was actually very cute, sexy, and pop. I couldn't resist. The original goods were extremely cute, as expected from Kyoto. The museum is small, so you can see everything quickly and it's affordable. The bread and drink set costs 1500 yen with 3 options: chicken, meat, and fish. Surprisingly delicious for a tourist spot. The cheese is rich, the salad is fresh. The iced latte has a strong bitterness. The view is stunning and not crowded. Plus, the air conditioning works well! The entrance fee acts as a barrier, which is why the museum isn't overcrowded. If the entrance fee were 500 yen, it would probably get chaotic. It's expensive, but it's a tourist spot. I really felt Kyoto.

The bread was unexpectedly delicious...sorry, I couldn't resist licking it! The cafe in the art museum has high quality. It's a hidden gem for a quiet lunch in the crowded Arashiyama! However, since it's inside the museum, an admission fee is required. Cafe-only use is not allowed. The restroom is clean and it's right in front of Togetsukyo Bridge...it's a good idea to enjoy art in Arashiyama after getting tired in the summer heat. It's a food court style with counter seating available for solo diners. It may not have a Kyoto vibe since it's a cafe, but the location is superb in Arashiyama. And the best part is that it's not crowded! This is important.

Kyoto Arashiyama. A place crowded with tourists regardless of weekdays or weekends. Even during the peak of the coronavirus pandemic, there were times when it was quiet, but now it seems to have completely returned to its former lively state. On this day, we came from Katsura Rikyu to here. It was a Saturday. At my mother's request, we came to the Fukuda Museum. The exhibition at the Fukuda Museum at that time was not really to my taste, but the museum building itself is beautiful, and there is a cafe called "Bread, Espresso, and Fukuda Museum" here, so that became our goal. When you enter the museum, you immediately come to the counter to buy museum admission tickets, so I didn't confirm, but probably you need to be a museum visitor to enter the cafe. ... Which means. ... Which means. Certainly, the cafe may be a bit expensive because you have to pay the entrance fee, but considering that you can also enjoy art appreciation, this cafe is a great hidden gem. Given the crowds in Arashiyama on weekends, it's not easy to just walk into a cafe or tea house. In that sense, although the museum interior is not empty, it is cute compared to the crowds outside, and the competition rate to enter the cafe is lower. One thing I personally don't like is that it's self-service. I don't like self-service cafes. Cleaning up later is not a problem. It's just that when I'm alone, I don't like going to order, leaving something on the seat to secure it, and then going to pick it up when it's ready. This time, I left my mother at the seat instead of luggage. Well, this is fine. By the way, whether it's self-service or not, I didn't confirm with the staff because it wasn't written, so I was a little hesitant at first. I wish they would put up a sign at the storefront or tell you immediately. We ordered a coffee jelly sundae and two iced coffees. I ordered the coffee jelly, and my mother had just the iced coffee. Come to think of it, eating coffee jelly while drinking coffee is a lot of caffeine. When it was ready, you had to go to the counter to pick it up yourself. Both the coffee jelly and the iced coffee were nice and cold, and maybe because of the humid heat of the rainy season, they tasted even better. Well, honestly, if you had it somewhere other than a museum, I don't think it would be particularly special at a standard level. However, cafes attached to art museums have added value, and I think they have an indescribable elegance, so there is a plus alpha. One side of the interior is fully glassed, so you can look down at the people walking along the Katsura River from a slightly elevated angle, giving a sense of openness and a good mood. It feels good there, but if you take photos from the back seat, strangers in red will inevitably appear in the photos, so I refrained from posting them here. Well, there is no problem if you just spend time without taking pictures. The iced coffee is not particularly delicious, but you can relax and enjoy the view of the Katsura River, so I think I will use it again. By the way, even though it's called "Bread, Espresso, and...", I didn't order either of those.

Since seeing it on Instagram, I had been wanting to visit this cafe. I was worried about how crowded it might be, but when I went on a weekday around noon, there were only a few groups there, so I was able to choose a nice seat. It's a very lovely cafe where you can relax and enjoy the amazing view!

During my sightseeing in Arashiyama, the rain got heavier so I received a free admission ticket to the Fukuda Art Museum from the hotel I stayed at, Munie Kyoto, and relaxed at this shop inside. Despite the rain, the view from the shop was fantastic, and I enjoyed a delicious salad, sandwich, and wine while looking at the Togetsukyo Bridge.

The Panes cafe inside the Fukuda Art Museum can only be used by museum visitors! I was intrigued by the limited edition parfait available at this store. I ordered the Seasonal Fukuda Parfait for ¥1400 (tax included), which features strawberries and white chocolate with a black tea flavor. The parfait includes whipped cream, raspberry jelly, Tochiotome strawberry ice cream, strawberries, white chocolate panna cotta, chocolate crunch, brioche, whipped cream, raspberries, and a separate black tea sauce. You can order the Strawberry Milk Parfait for ¥750 (tax included) starting at 1 pm. The seasonal Fukuda Parfait, adorned with the "福" logo, features strawberries and white chocolate for this season. You can also enjoy a flavor change by pouring the separate black tea sauce over it. The panoramic view from the cafe overlooks the Oi River, Togetsukyo Bridge, and Arashiyama, making the parfait even more delicious. Seasonal Fukuda Parfait: Available for order from 1 pm. Payment methods: cash / credit card.

Visited the cafe on Sunday at 1:00 PM. Despite being a cafe only for museum visitors, I was able to get a seat without waiting as it was almost full. Upon entering, I secured a counter seat and placed my order and paid at the counter. I was given a number tag, and when called, I picked up my order and returned the tag to the return counter when finished. This time, I ordered the Mini Fuku Parfait Set (1,200 yen), a menu limited to rainy and snowy days. It's a perfect mini size when you want to eat a parfait but are unsure if you can finish a regular one. The seasonal Fuku Parfait at this time is Strawberry White Chocolate with a tea flavor, and the set drink I ordered was a hot cafe latte. The Fuku Parfait included raspberry jelly, white chocolate panna cotta, chocolate crunch, and more, offering a variety of textures. It also came with a separate red tea syrup for flavor variation, and the combination of strawberry and tea was excellent. Additionally, on rainy days, you earn +1 point on your Panes point card. Rainy days may make you reluctant to go out, but this lovely cafe with its limited menu, bonus points, and the occasional charm of rainy days made me think that rain isn't so bad after all.

Arashiyama・Fukuda Museum has a cafe called "Pan to Espresso to". Although I often visit this museum because I like it, I had been avoiding the cafe until now. I decided to try it for lunch once. Among the three types of panini & drink sets, I chose the "Beef Pastrami and Camembert" and my partner chose the "Smoked Chicken and Turnip". For drinks, we each selected coffee and cappuccino. First, the panini was delicious! We exchanged and tried each other's, and the ingredients and seasoning were really good. The coffee had a mild acidity and bitterness, which I liked. My partner also enjoyed the cappuccino with a good balance of cream and cinnamon. The view from the large windows and the relaxed atmosphere similar to the museum added to the experience, making the slightly high price worth it. The only downside was the oddly small hole in the cup handle, making it hard to hold. We couldn't understand why they designed the handle like that and were puzzled.

I visited a cafe in Kyoto after hearing about their bread and espresso. I actually planned to visit the other store in Arashiyama, but ended up coming to this one by mistake, and it turned out to be the right choice! The cafe has a spacious and open atmosphere with a wide window overlooking Togetsukyo Bridge and the river. Since it is located inside a museum, an entrance fee is required, but the cafe itself was not crowded even during the busy lunch hours of a holiday, making it a hidden gem. I visited for a break, so I didn't have bread or espresso, but I tried the strawberry milk, which was simply delicious. The food menu includes a few sandwiches, cookies, and cakes, rather than a variety of bread and espresso options. It seems like a perfect place to relax when you just want to take a break, rather than to indulge in lots of bread and espresso.

The view looked really nice, so I entered the art museum in order to visit this cafe. It was very quiet and the scenery was amazing, making it very comfortable. The drinks were also very delicious. However, the art museum itself was mediocre.

Visited Arashiyama with a friend. Today's schedule was tighter than usual. One of the purposes this time was the "Fukuda Art Museum". This stylish museum showcases famous paintings by renowned artists. It was a pleasant day, but we got tired from walking and decided to take a break at the attached cafe. The famous "Pan to Espresso to Fukuda Art Museum" was not crowded as it was before lunchtime. We were planning to have a light snack of bread and coffee since lunch was coming up, but the bread in the showcase was quite substantial! Although the sandwich looked delicious, we gave up on it. After much deliberation, I ordered the Sudachi Cream Soda (¥700). The view of Togetsukyo Bridge and the Katsura River from here is amazing! You could stare at it forever. Being attached to the museum, this cafe may be less crowded compared to other shops, making it a hidden gem. The Sudachi Cream Soda had a refreshing taste, perfect for quenching a dry throat. The cream was like sherbet, not too sweet, and there were even two scoops of it! I almost wanted to stay longer, but we had another appointment, so we left promptly. Thank you for the meal!

Inside the art museum, there is the famous cafe "Bread, Espresso &" which is only available to visitors, so it is not crowded and a hidden gem in Arashiyama. When I went around 12 o'clock on Saturday, about half of the seats were taken, so it was relatively empty. Since it was before lunchtime, I only ordered a cafe latte. The latte art was stylish and photogenic. You can enjoy a leisurely time with the Togetsukyo Bridge right in front of you. Highly recommended for a break during your sightseeing in Arashiyama.

Last order at 16:30, closing at 17:00. I arrived at 16:15, just in time. To visit this restaurant, you need to enter the Fukuda Art Museum. This means you also need to pay the entrance fee along with your food and drink bill. However, the view from this restaurant is amazing. The garden overlooks Arashiyama, Togetsukyo Bridge, and the Katsura River. The garden is so beautiful that it seems like it was created just for this cafe. The balance between modern architecture and traditional Japanese garden is lovely. I enjoyed the unsweetened cafe latte and the sponge-like tiramisu. It was a pleasant moment to relax while enjoying the beautiful scenery.

After enjoying a vegetarian meal at Shigetsu in Tenryu-ji Temple, we took a stroll around the area and visited Arashiyama Garden as well. The café there had a long line, with some reviews mentioning waiting times of up to 3 hours during Golden Week. It was unbelievable! We had planned to explore Arashiyama until evening, but we found ourselves without a plan when my husband suddenly needed to use the restroom. After some searching, we decided to visit the nearby Fukuda Art Museum. The entrance fee was 1300 yen per person. While my husband enjoyed the beautiful restroom, my mother-in-law and I admired the art pieces. Surprisingly, photography was allowed, and even as someone who is not knowledgeable about art, I found works by familiar artists and pieces that I liked. It made me realize once again how much I love animals (laughs). After viewing the artworks, we headed to Pan e Espresso, which was less crowded compared to Arashiyama Garden. The menu was simple, and although the sandwiches looked delicious, we were too full and thinking about dinner. I opted for the Rainy Day Mini Parfait Set (1000 yen), which made me appreciate the rain a little more. My husband had a Café Mocha (700 yen) and my mother-in-law had a Blend Coffee (500 yen). The mini parfait included interesting items like soba bolo, and it was delicious. I think Pan e Espresso is a recommended spot for Arashiyama sightseeing, where you can avoid the long lines, enjoy beautiful art, and relax in a lovely setting.

Visited the second Kyoto location of the popular bakery "Bread, Espresso &" located in the Fukuda Museum. While there is also a "Bread, Espresso & Arashiyama Garden Store" in Arashiyama, the Fukuda Museum store requires entry into the museum to use, resulting in a much quieter and more relaxed atmosphere. The interior is stylish and open, with a view of Togetsukyo Bridge from the windows. It can be said with confidence that there is no other cafe in Arashiyama with such a prime location and peaceful ambiance. The seasonal Fukupafe (¥1000) is a popular menu item, featuring rich chocolate ice cream, fresh oranges, and various other hidden surprises under a layer of thick cream. The granola and orange jelly at the bottom add a nice texture, and the flavors of each ingredient stand out while complementing each other well.

On the third day of my trip to Kyoto in December 2021, I visited Tenryu-ji Temple, Yuzen-tei, and Fukuda Art Museum. I took a break at the cafe in Fukuda Art Museum. This museum is located right near the Togetsukyo Bridge in Arashiyama, with a fantastic view. It is a modern building specializing in Japanese art. The cafe overlooks a beautiful garden with a water basin. I enjoyed a visually stunning drink, the Lemon Squash Cream Soda. After viewing art in the museum, it's nice to have a lovely cafe to relax in.

Coffee jelly sundae and espresso were delicious! Located within the Fukuda Art Museum near Togetsukyo Bridge, a little over 10 minutes' walk from JR Saga Arashiyama Station. You need to enter the museum to use the café. I visited on a weekday just before 11 am. A lovely café with a view of the Katsura River and Togetsukyo Bridge. I enjoyed the coffee jelly sundae and espresso. Although I didn't have the chance this time, I recommend trying the Fukuda parfait available from 1 pm.

I went to a cafe called "Pan to Espresso" in Minamimorimachi, Osaka, and it was delicious. I visited the Fukuda Museum for a special exhibition and then went to "Pan to Espresso" as well. I follow nearby art museums on Twitter, so I got confused between the cafes at Fukuda Museum and Hosomi Museum, and accidentally asked, "Where's the pasta?" out loud. I wanted to see the exhibition "Kyoto Fantasista" at Fukuda Museum, so I was in the right place, but I mixed up the cafes. The state of emergency has been lifted, and even on weekdays, there were more people in the Arashiyama area. Fukuda Museum had more visitors in the exhibition rooms compared to the previous exhibition. The cafe had a moderate number of customers. I secured a nice seat by the window and then placed my order. It was great to have an ideal seat available and enjoy the view of Togetsukyo Bridge. The salad with just lettuce and dressing needed a bit more creativity, especially since vegetables are expensive now. The panini was large, fluffy, and had a crispy crust, filled with prosciutto and mozzarella, which was delicious. The iced coffee had a strong aroma and flavor, making it tasty. Since you have to enter Fukuda Museum to use this cafe, it was quiet, suitable for a break during art exhibition viewing, and perfect for those whose main purpose is to visit the museum. Panini set with prosciutto and mozzarella for 1200 yen (+ admission fee of 1300 yen, which may vary depending on the exhibition).

Visited around 2 pm on a holiday. About half of the seats in the restaurant were filled. I ordered at the counter and then took my order to my seat. The restaurant is located inside an art museum, so it was quiet and peaceful. I ordered tiramisu and a cafe latte. The tiramisu was delicious. The restaurant has glass windows, so I could also see the Togetsukyo Bridge.

The biggest selling point here is the stunning view of Arashiyama! It is a scenic spot located about 200 meters upstream from Togetsukyo Bridge along the river. You can enjoy views of the cherry blossom-covered mountains from a moderate height. The contemporary Japanese garden at the Fukuda Museum is also wonderful. The sweets and drinks are of a high standard, making it the perfect spot to relax after visiting the museum. The parfait is highly recommended.
