If you’re in Kyoto and love desserts, you’ve got to check out Ito Kyuemon Gion Shijo Ten.

This ice cream shop serves some of the most beautiful creations I’ve ever seen, they’re almost too pretty to eat!

Their matcha parfaits and soft serve don’t just look amazing, they're also positively delicious.

Prices start at around ¥550, which is such a good deal for the quality.

Plus, the matcha is sourced straight from Uji, so you know it’s top-notch.

It’s the perfect spot to treat yourself when wandering through the historic Gion area.
