After visiting the “Ikegami temple”, I went to the ancient folk coffee. For the construction of a wooden building built in 1933 (Showa 8) years. Into the coffee shop, sit on the first floor inside the position, in front of the hydrangea is the garden. Most of the women are seen, but the age is very wide, you can feel the nearby residents and tourists favorite. Evidence is often heard from the table of the conversation are: “This side is so beautiful, even cat think here have such a coffee shop”, “every time it will be in this for a long time.”
