Shirakawa, Fukushima, Japan｜Emanon

Amazing community cafe. I went almost every Friday for their ALT cafe event. It was so much fun to meet students and local members of the community and chat in English about anything. I absolutely loved their coffee, I always looked forward to it. The staff are kind and wonderful too. Thanks to this cafe I made many great memories I will never forget. I highly recommend checking this cafe out. It is easy to miss, as it looks like an old house from the outside. It has a wonderful atmosphere inside, very homely and cosy. If you're worried about the language barrier, many staff speak English very well, too, so don't worry!

Great English friendly cafe! Small, cozy, and atmospheric.

I used it often when I stayed there on business. The restaurant, which is a renovated old folk house, had a nice atmosphere and was a relaxing space. Various efforts have been made to make it easier for local high school students to use the store, and the store was also used by many high school students. It's a great store that makes me wish I had a place like this when I was in high school.
