Opened on January 30, 2019, Crafthouse Kyoto is a beer bar located on Shichijo Takasegawa near Kyoto Station. Even though it is called a beer bar, you can have a beer at noon, a slow espresso, a substantial meal, or visit it as a second stop in the evening. No matter when you go or how you feel, this place will meet your expectations. There is a guesthouse close by and it has a welcoming atmosphere with many international guests, making it easy for travelers to enter. The staff member Inaba says that he hopes you will feel free to drop by anytime!

The concept of Crafthouse Kyoto is "Kyoto machiya townhouse, craft beer, espresso, good food and music. With a stylish white exterior, it is a renovated machiya townhouse built in 1942. Upon entering, visitors will find a spacious and bright space, while taking advantage of the machiya's qualities. There are a whopping 12 taps of craft beer servers right at the entrance. Furthermore, there is no standard craft beer menu, so what craft beers you will encounter depends on what they have on hand at the time. The extensive lineup is gathered from Kyoto and other parts of Japan, so there may be beers that you can only find here.

Crafthouse also pays a lot of attention to acoustics. Four speakers are mounted on both the first and second floors, creating a space where visitors can enjoy three-dimensional sound, as if they are surrounded by music. Whether alone, with friends or family, or with someone you've just met sitting next to you, when you listen to music and have a beer, the language barrier doesn't really matter. No matter whether you are a local or a tourist, you will definitely have a good time at Crafthouse Kyoto, so be sure to stop by when you have a little time to kill in the Kyoto area.
