Got recommend by local. Had such a great time submerged myself into a little community in this beautiful town, having breakfast prepared by very kind grandpa and grandma. Sandwiches were simple yet amazing Love that they serve fresh made juice by order. Tomato juice without any added sugar or salt was the best I’ve had in Japan so far. Highly recommend Note that smoking is allowed here. Luckily that no one smokes when I was there.

The cost of the morning set was very reasonable. The atmosphere and service was great. It was a nice surprise finding this cafe while walking in the area getting exercise. The toast and coffee set for 400 yen was nice. Similar sets at other cafes charge more for this type of set. Good price.

Cozy little cafe with a rustic vibe, it's comfy in there and serves great homemade food. The curry rice was delicious and hearty. Coffee with milk was very smooth too.

Absolutely love finding these old fashioned-ish kinda coffee places throughout Japan! It's all community seating so you can share table! Staff were so sweet!!! The decor was fun, whimsical and everywhere! Food was great! We did accidentally order to much as I read the description wrong. It wasn't a half sandwich it was full sandwiches coming out. We ate good that morning! Menu was in Japanese and English.

Perfect atmosphere of the old times that still exist... Music, interior and incredible staff with a charismatic chef. As if time had stopped here in the second half of the twentieth century Beauty!
