Have you heard of “DOLL Jyogakuin”? I often see it on Instagram.

Yeah, I’ve seen it! Isn’t it the concept cafe where the staff wear Korean-style uniforms? I heard it’s in Kyoto’s Kiyamachi area.

Exactly! Plus, the theme is like a school, where customers are treated as upperclassmen and the staff as underclassmen. I heard it gives you a nostalgic feeling of being back in school.

Sounds fun! And from the pictures, the interior is all white and pink—super cute! Just visiting there would be exciting!
