A strange Starbucks Coffee shop
Jan 28th 2012 21:55
This Starbucks is on the way as the second picture. I thought the shop owner wanted to adjust it to this old way, but I don’t think it looked good.
I wonder if there another strange Starbucks Coffee is.
This shop was designed by Kengo Kuma, who is an architecture. It just opened on December 16, 2011. He wanted to merge a contemporary coffee shop into an ancient city according to an article about this new coffee shop.

This article was written in Japanese, but you can see a picture inside the shop.

That's the point.
I like design things because of my job, but I don't like this very much.
At the end of last year my son and I went to a high school that he wanted to get into in the end of the last year. (As originally written it is unclear if you went last year or if he wanted to get in last year.)
Starbucks Coffee is one of the biggest coffee chain stores in the world, but I hadn’t see one with such a strange appearance before.
This Starbucks is along a street as in the second picture.
I wonder if there are other strange Starbucks Coffee stores.
This shop was designed by Kengo Kuma, who is an architect.

> It almost looks like it is still under construction
Yes, I agree with you.
I hope you enjoyed this picture!
At the end of the last year, my son and I went to a the high school where he wanted to attend get into in.
The high school is in a city which has with a long history. Your sentence was right as-is, but you could also just say "city with a long history."
We visited a famous shrine near the high school after checking where it was.
The shrine has There is a long pathway to the shrine, which has a lot of with many shops on the both sides.
It’s a Starbucks Coffee.
This Starbucks is on the way as pathway in the second picture.
I thought think the shop owner wanted to adjust it to this adopt the old style way, but I don’t think it looked good.
According to an article about this new coffee shop, he wanted to merge a contemporary coffee shop into an ancient city.
Yes, we all expect a Starbuck's to be the same as all the others -- like McDonald's. I have been to the original Starbuck's in Seattle, and find it is somewhat larger than most others. Otherwise, it's clearly a Starbuck's.
I think the Starbuck's you show is a curious change from most others.
They are always helpful to learn writing in English.

Thank you for sharing it. I like Starbuck's coffee, but I hardly go there because of the cost problem. It is a little expensive. I always make coffee by myself at home.
I don't know what they sell in Japan, but Starbuck's in the USA are beginning to sell wine and beer, too. They a already sell pastries and sandwiches, as well as breakfast,here.
I hardly see any alcohol in Japan, but you can some snacks such as sandwitches and cookies at shops.
However, I read an article about Starbucks in the US and it said that you can read a digital newspaper if you bring iPhones and Kindles with you. It is a good service, I think, though the service hasn't started in Japan yet.
McDonald's also has free WiFi.
Thank you for sharing it.
