In the three hundred year old Japanese house was opened the most picturesque Starbucks in the world

All major international companies are committed to unification. For example, each of the thousands of British Petroleum gas stations around the world you can buy fresh pastries, and the flight attendants of the airline Fly Emirates dressed in an elegant beige dress and red cap. This applies to the international coffee chain Starbucks: the interiors of many of their institutions are made on a standard project. But not all. In the Japanese city of Kyoto, the company opened a coffee shop in a building built in the early XVIII century, and has retained its historic appearance.

This building served as a tea house until it closed in 2005. Starbucks bought it and repaired. But repaired neatly, deciding to leave it as close as possible to the traditional buildings of the Old town.

Instead of the usual luminous pointer Starbucks over the entrance hung a green banner with the company logo. The interior of the coffee shop is similar to the setting of this old tea house — visitors need to remove shoes when entering and sit on silk pillows.
