This cafe is incredible! The owner is so kind and shows great hospitality. She really makes you feel welcome. It’s cozy and you can enjoy your meal slowly and relax. The location is beautiful with an amazing view. The food is totally delicious. It’s so wholesome and well made. I enjoyed the Asia gohan which came with tea for only ¥800, I added on a cake for ¥200, great value. Thank you so much for a memorable meal and for helping me back to the station!

車は駅前に停めて歩くのがおすすめ。 お店の前まで車で行こうとすると、途中で引くに引けなくなる可能性も。 駅から徒歩8分弱でした。 (駅前に停めても、料金はかなりお安いです) 雰囲気とても良かったです。 ちょうど蜜柑がたわわに実っていた時期。 眺望、景色も最高でした。

山の上のカフェです。藤並駅の近くにこんな素敵な場所が、あるのか、と感動しました。高原リゾートに来た気持ちになります。有田川町は、いいところだな、と再認識しました。料理は、ヘルシーな内容。ガッツリ系では、ありませんが美味しくて満足です。

Truly a hidden gem, especially given the accessibility. The cafe, built in 2002, is a wooden cabin up on the hills surrounded by local mandarin trees. Service is provided by an extremely friendly and caring Japanese auntie. The cake and drinks were really amazing.

丁寧に手作りされた一品一品でした。スイーツも、甘さを抑えながら美味しいです 途中の道は、車一台がギリギリの幅で物凄い坂道ですが、それを乗り越えて来ると、時間の流れがここだけ違う、まったりとした空間に身を置くことができます 平日の12時前に到着しましたが、既に数組のお客さんがいらしてて、僕の後の方は断られていました 人気店なので、早めの到着が良いかもです
