CANDY? Never heard of it, but a maid cafe in Kyoto? That’s kind of surprising! What’s it like?

Exactly! Kyoto is usually associated with traditional Japanese vibes, but this place feels like stepping into another world! Cute maids welcome you, and it sounds like such a fun atmosphere.

That sounds amazing! I really want to go!

It was such a friendly atmosphere, wasn’t it? They called us by name and started conversations, which made us feel special!

The Polaroid picture turned out to be such a great keepsake! The maid gave us tips on poses, so it was easy to get a good shot. I’m so glad we visited CANDY.
