星巴克在京都开了用一家用榻榻米的店

星巴克在日本的古首都京都刚开了一家店。这家店和全球的星巴克店不一样的原因是这家有三个用榻榻米的房间。榻榻米是日本传统的草垫，这个草垫平常用在日本房子的地上。传统榻榻米的房间没有椅子，所以客人应该坐在榻榻米上的平垫上。这家新店在一栋一百多年的房子里，这栋房子位于在京都历史上最美丽的地区‘二年坂’商业街上。这家店坐落在两座世界文化遗产地的寺庙的中间。这个地区非常受旅游者们的欢迎，很多人喜欢租传统的日本和服然后在这里拍照片。这些用三个榻榻米的房间在二楼。

星巴克尽他们所能让这家店融入周围的传统环境。他们没有用霓虹灯，前门上没有大绿色的星巴克商标。反而前门上挂一张传统的深蓝色的帘子。这张朴素的帘子只有星巴克的黑色商标。星巴克以一种传统的方式重新装修这栋房子，为了让客人享受风景，他们创造了一座日式花园。星巴克想要做好邻居，他们决定了不让客人在店的前面排队，他们也在高峰期要限制客人的数量。这些决策避免了因为大群的客人而搅乱地区的安静气氛的情况发生。

Starbucks Opens Coffee Shop with Tatami in Kyoto

Starbucks has done its best to make sure the coffee shop blends in with its traditional surroundings. There are no neon signs and no big, green Starbucks names or logos. Instead, there is a traditional dark-blue curtain hanging over the front door. The coffee shop's logo is printed on the curtain in black. Starbucks has reformed the house in the traditional style and has created a Japanese garden for people to look at. The company also wants to be a good neighbor. It has decided not to let people form lines in front of the shop as they wait to get in. It will also limit the number of customers during peak hours. This is to avoid disrupting the quiet atmosphere in the area with crowds of customers.

Starbucks has opened a new coffee shop in Japan's ancient capital of Kyoto. It is unlike any other Starbucks in the world as it has three rooms with tatami – the traditional straw matting that is used for floors in Japanese houses. There are no chairs in the tatami rooms. People sit on flat cushions on the tatami mats. The new coffee shop is in a 100-year-old house in one of the most historic areas of Kyoto. It is located on the attractive Ninen-zaka shopping street. It is situated between two UNESCO World Heritage-listed temples. The area is very popular with tourists, many of whom rent traditional Japanese kimono to go sightseeing in. The three tatami rooms are on the second floor of the house.
