Fuku (福) overload

Portal-like entrance with rows of colored paper strips like omikuji (Japanese fortune telling paper strips) along the sides and lighted lanterns above.

 

Fuku (福) means luck/fortune in Japanese.

 

Easily missed narrow entrance from the outside but large space by Kyoto standards within, almost like a parallel universe. Sells wagashi, simple meals and in particular the Hyaku-Fuku manju, a sweet bun promising boundless luck and success, every food item they sell are like lucky charms.

 

Rather quirky, not sure if this place is popular for the locals or tourists.
