CAFÉ REIHO

Although without any particular charm, this café has two choice assets to seduce the visitor to Enryaku-ji: its view of Lake Biwa below and its Bonji Latte. Choose between the café latte and the matcha latte and indicate your Chinese zodiac sign to the waiter who takes the order. Bonji are sacred Sanskrit characters transmitted to Japan along with Buddhism. The name of the protective Buddha's bonji, corresponding to his sign, will be traced in the creamy foam of the latte. Perfect for a photo in front of the café's bay windows.
