Sagano-yu
Easygoing eatery with a global menu featuring curries, pasta & pancakes, plus coffee, tea & matcha.
Cafe Style Resort Saganoyu is located at the entrance of Arashiyama, Kyoto. Born in 1923 as the public bath 'Sagayu', it served as a place of relaxation for the local community throughout the Taisho, Showa, and Heisei eras. Then, in August 2006, we took over as a cafe, and we are walking step by step towards an even longer history, aiming to be a 'good bath'. Inside the shop, which makes use of the remnants of the public bath such as tiles and faucets, we offer food and drinks perfect for lunch or a break while strolling through Arashiyama, such as tofu pasta and pancakes.

Lovely café located in a former public bath house (sento). The sento memorabilia are still preserved, it gives the place a very nice and relaxed atmosphere ! The large windows inviting the light in makes it a perfect place to enjoy some sweets and coffee indoors while appreciating the nice weather. Terrace seats are also available ! Definitely recommend for a relating break from the Arashiyama crowd.
View on GoogleWe wandered around the bamboo forest area and found this gem. Everything about this restaurant is so nice. Lovely interior and not so crowded, staff are professional and the food was good with reasonable price. We had a pleasant time here and would recommend this place to anyone who will visit Kyoto
View on GoogleThis charming café is set inside an old onsen (hot spring bathhouse), giving it a fantastic, unique vibe. The food was delicious, and the staff were really knowledgeable and helpful with gluten-free options—they accommodated us perfectly!
View on GoogleOverall, I had a good experience here and would recommend it. The food was delicious and the service was wonderful. However, the seating could have been more comfortable. Despite that, it's a nice place to visit!
View on GoogleLovely and well designed cafe, no doubt. Outstanding service provided by the staff, thank you very much. We ordered pasta with tofu, we couldn't understand the combination. The tofu itself was superb but the pasta was blend.
