Totoro army in the windows invited me to this cozy café. Had iced coffee, honestly really nice, with iced bear, which was probably the cutest surprise! Staff was incredibly sweet and I will definitely come again

The ladies who run the cafe are very sweet. I got a egg sandwich to go, which they didn't have on their menu, but understood me and prepared one for us. We were pleasantly surprised when we opened the box, and found the sandwich to be both tasty and fresh, and accpompanied with fresh fruits. Portion size was big too. We were happy with the food and the service. Thank you.

A quaint and cozy cafe located right across the main road from the station. We ordered the pancakes (2 pieces) and drink set (only ¥880). The pancakes were soft, fluffy and delicious. The generous serving of butter was a pleasant and much appreciated surprise since I’ve noticed most pancake places in Japan only serve you a tiny portion which never ends up being enough. My cafe au lait was served with the cutest teddy bear shaped block of iced coffee (see photo). Also, the customer service was wonderful. The cafe staff are so sweet, attentive and genuinely appreciative of their patrons. If you’re a fan of Totoro, the cafe is decorated with handmade Totoro wreaths and mini figurines which are also for sale near the shop’s front door. My friends and I swung by again on our way back to the station to purchase some as the cutest little souvenirs.
