Nikko, Tochigi, Japan｜Cafe Karin

Very sweet and cozy space. They offer a lot of homemade cakes, nice coffee and the presentation overall is very cute. Paid 1100¥ for a set of a cake and coffee. I was there all by myself during lunchtime on a workday but I imagine it can also get busier during weekends since it’s on the main street. Oh and they are ready for tourists, they have English menu, too.

We were not aware of the opening time of the cafe and we parked our car there at about 1130am. The cafe owner was so kind to let us in and offered some delightful pastry and coffee to us. The cafe was cozy and the interior decor was very well thought. You’ll easily spend hours there!

Great little find on the way back from Temple sightseeing. Approx 300m up from FamilyMart on opposite side. Cosy, homely and inviting. Upstairs or downstairs seating. Pleasant service, English menu, and great homemade goodies. Scones of various flavours, delicious! Great find.
