Kawagoe, Saitama, Japan｜Hatsuneya Garden

A cute and sleek cafe which you definitely need to visit. The decoration is beautiful and it's a great place to relax for a bit. A little thing to note, their tiramasu is mainly cream which I wasn't expecting, but delicious overall.

Beautiful place with a long history. Stopped by for coffee and a cake but ended up having a personal tour of that building. Mesmerizing interior with a lovely garden. Big thanks to Aikawa San who was kind enough to show us around and explained history of this restaurant in great details. Much appreciated.

A little bit of peace and quiet in bustling Kawagoe. Modern, upscale cafe with delicious desserts. A little bit expensive, but worth it. One of only a handful of places in Kawagoe with a terrace. Contemporary cafe in a 160 year old garden. In the same complex there is a restaurant and a wedding hall / banquet hall. The gardens are out the back of the wedding hall and if there is no wedding on you are allowed to roam around. Every single time I've been though, there has been a wedding on! It seems a popular place for them. In the cafe there is a terrace out front, which is smoking. Inside is non-smoking. The coffee is good.
