It's time for cherry blossam in Japan, and I found the nice one in my hometown before the real one bloom. The whole tree is made by woods and it is displayed on the wall of Yamaichi Mokuzai.
Since I saw the pics of the cafe "KITOKURASU" (means life with trees) on the magazine, I have been asking my friend to visit there with me. The time has come! :P
My friend took me to there last time I went back to my home town. It took about 40 mins from Takamatsu city. We drove along a country load and it was very nice to time for chatting for us.
The owner of the cafe is Yamaichi Mokuzai (lumber dealer) which is located across the cafe.We arrived there a bit earlier than the cafe's opening hour, so we were the first customers on that day.
We supposed to have lunch there, but they don't serve any foods in the morning...
The day was pretty cold inside even in the cafe, and we just had the coffee and left the cafe.
There is the lake just behind the cafe, and it seems like customers can bring their coffee and drink it on the benches besides the lake. It could be nice in spring and fall.
People can go inside the tree,but the space was small for me... it could be fun if I was a kid.
Few other buildings are in the same property as cafe. It seems like multipurpose space is used by neighbors for some events. All the furniture is of course made by Yamaichi Mokuai(maybe...) The elephant slope is maybe for kids. :)
You can find the small shop next to cafe,too.
I guess we enjoyed our stay for an hour and moved to another cafe for lunch.
Cafe Asile
The time we arrived there was just right after noon. Few groups were waited for a table and we did, too.
Off course we ordered the same one as others. Lunch menu should be different everyday, and the cost is 1,100 JPN.
