2.8:00 a.m. First, an early morning stroll at Heian Shrine, a symbol of the Okazaki area.
The first place to visit on a dignified morning in Kyoto is Heian Jingu Shrine. The vermilion torii gate, which boasts the greatest presence in the Okazaki area, welcomes you. The shrine pavilions, which evoke the glittering atmosphere of the time, and the Shinto garden, a 30,000 m2 garden representing the Meiji era, are just a few of the many highlights of the shrine. A stroll around the shrine is a great way to get a good workout.

3.10:00 a.m. Morning at Lignum, a café where you can enjoy the scenery as if you were overseas.

Next, it was time for the fun part: art appreciation. In the Okazaki area, which is dotted with art museums, we will visit the Kyoto Kyocera Museum of Art, where modern and contemporary art can be seen in particular. As the oldest existing public art museum in Japan, its stately appearance is overwhelming. In fact, the museum was renovated in 2020, retaining the original design while adding a modern design. The new wing and café, which have been expanded, are full of the charm of modern art.

After enjoying the Okazaki area, move on to the Kawaramachi area in town. The World Warehouse, which was created with the aim of providing a "platform for people to meet through food and art," is a place that is attracting attention as a new culture transmission base. You will want to discuss the art and culture you have encountered in Okazaki over sweets and coffee.
Herb-scented creamy type tiramisu is 700 yen. The tuile, inspired by French roof tiles, is fun to crack open and has a bourrée texture. Homemade lemonade made with healthful "chi no takamaru fructose" is 600 yen. Lemons used in the preparation of the lemonade are used as dried fruit for decoration.
