Fujikawaguchiko, Yamanashi, Japan｜Le pain de Daniel

My fiancé and I stopped by this adorable café on our way to the ropeway. Upon entering you’ll be greeted by a marvelous display of cakes, loaves, danishes, bagels, sandwiches, and everything in between! The smell of freshly brewed coffee will waft over you, preparing your tastebuds for what lies in store. The staff are friendly, quick, and speak a bit of English (pointing to what you want in the case still works just as well as it does stateside). My fiancé got a chocolate croissant and I had the lemon cream danish. It was amazing! Perfectly soft, flaky, and tart. The coffees were rich and balanced. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone staying in the area as a wonderful stop-off during a walk around Lake Kawaguchiko. We will be back!

One of the most amazing pastries ever! Its located at bustop 7 along the red line. So many variety of bread and pastries with many locals queueing. I can't make made up my mind which to order. Nice and relaxing ambience to enjoy my coffee and pastries will definitely visit again.

One of the best bagels I've had - chewy, perfectly thick, amazing for the prosciutto and cream cheese sandwich they make. Pastries are mixed sweet and savory, have a great flake, and there is a fun variety of french classics along with types you don't normally find in the west (eg bean paste and butter, melon bread)
