Probably the nicest view of any café in Kanazawa. The lady running the place, her old school telephone and the furniture made it feel like it was straight out of a Wes Anderson movie. Iced coffee was surprisingly good. No English spoken.

Might be the cafe with the BEST view of kanazawa. It’s such an amazing atmosphere, and the cheesecake happens to be delicious too. Should definitely come and relax for an unbeatably beautiful experience.

This Cafe has most beautiful and amazing view of Kanazawa. You don't see any foreign visitors here only local customers. The host does not speak English and they don't have English menu either. So be prepared to take the "challenge" to order their delicious coffees and enjoy the view. If you ever come to Kanazawa, this Cafe is a must visit place. Just order a cup of coffee and enjoy the sunset. I guarantee you will love it.
