For Kyoto coffee freaks, a trip to Inoda Coffee is somewhat like visiting Philadelphia's Independence Hall is to Americans - this is where it all started.
The main store - pictured at right - is an old elegant building. The coffee shop opened in 1946, and has been going strong since.
To the hipster crowd, Inoda represents a musty place with waiters and waitresses that seat the blue-haired set out for a day of shopping.
To which we reply, yes, guilty!
However, look at the building, smell and drink the coffee, groove on the interior.
There are six shops in Kyoto, and the main Inoda Coffee is the best of the bunch.
This is where coffee culture, if not actually began, got a huge caffeinated shot.
