Atami, Shizuoka, Japan｜COEDA HOUSE

For those who want an unforgettable cafe experience, Coeda House cannot be missed! It is a 4 sided full glass cafe facing the sea with a clean, unique and minimalistic ID that will take your breath away the very minute you arrive the cafe. Apart from sipping the cuppa, there is also a swing just a stone throw away. While you do the gentle sway motion in an open environment with the view of sea, it creates a sense of freedom and tranquility, reminding one of childhood experiences and carefree days. The only 'flaw' of this cafe is its accessibility. This cafe is located in a park whereby you need to buy a day pass of 3000 yen to gain entry. It is also quite a walk from the entrance of the park to the cafe. Hence, you will need to take a shuttle bus provided by the park to reach the cafe. The bus shuttle operates in a 10min intervals and you can board the shuttle back at the same stop. To be fair, the day pass allows a full day access to the garden and park. If you have time, it is worth a visit too

The most beautiful cafe I've ever been to. Overlooking the calm turquoise sea from the huge glass wall was just breath taking I could stay there for hours! The lemon grass tea and orange cheesecake tart was the bomb!

A beautiful cliff location overlooking the ocean. Friendly staff, nice menu. The way down to the bottom of the hill goes through many floral arrangements. Disappointing note: the bus ticket to the top of the hill it’s really steep. ¥3000/person for a 3-5 minute ride
