A great example here of how multinationals can tailor their product to take account of local market tastes and traditions.
The latest Starbucks store in Kyoto, Japan is is located in Ninen-zaka, one of Kyoto’s many historically protected streets and set inside a renovated townhouse that was once used to host geisha.
As this video illustrates, the store layout has been carefully designed to retain key traditional elements of the property!
