Nasu, Tochigi, Japan｜フィンランドの森 メッツァラウハ（妖精カフェ）

Idyllic setting, modern building, relaxing ambiance, warm staff. We had a wonderful experience at Ruaha. Ten of us arrived at peak hour (lunch) and although the restaurant was full, they managed to accommodate us. By letting the 4 adults sit at the one remaining table indoors and the 6 kids on the veranda. The kids could use the outdoor hammocks too. And had a great time playing in the Santa wood. It was okay to feed the kids food that was brought. We were able to sit leisurely over lunch for as long as we wanted. Sax player on weekends. All you can eat sides. Great coffee. Clean building. Excellent staff. Highly recommend with kids.

Hospitality is God! Pancakes are delicious, of course. I was impressed by the politeness of the customer service.

Stopped in for tea and ordered "Vienna Coffee Hot", "Blueberry Pie", and "Raw Tapioca Houjicha". The Vienna coffee had a strong sweetness, but the raw tapioca hojicha and blueberry pie were delicious with less sweetness. Looking at the menu, there are many items inspired by Finland and Santa, so it might be a memorable place for couples and families with children. There are related stores nearby, so it might be a good idea to stop by and spend some time! I happened to stop by this time because there weren't many cafes open on New Year's Eve, but the atmosphere was so good that I would definitely like to visit again!
