    Nara Pref. Yamatokoriyamashi Yanagi 4-46
    A coffee shop located in Yamatokoriyama City, Nara Prefecture, a city famous for goldfish, K Coffee operates out of a former gasoline stand. A phone booth with goldfish swimming in it stands outside the entrance and is a popular spot to take photos. The former gas station office is now a kitchen and sales counter where you can buy drinks such as carefully-prepared, home-roasted drip coffee in addition to coffee beans. There are benches and chairs in front of the café where customers can enjoy their drinks.

    We eventually found this very quirky-looking and somewhat scruffy hangout in a rundown petrol station but we were really disappointed to find it was closed...Ive given it an undeserved score...but I...

    This tea garden in Takabatake Town, Nara City, is located in western-style painter Nakamura Kazuo’s old garden which has been opened to the public, across the street from the former residence of Shiga Naoya. You can feel the history of the Provence, South-France style building that was built during the Taisho period as you sit on the terrace and look at the over 100-year-old Himalayan Cedar tree. The earthen wall surrounding the property has been designated a Tangible Cultural Property. The shop is popular for its coffee made from locally roasted beans and hand-made cakes made with seasonal fruits.

    나만 알고 싶은 진짜 좋은 카페 일식 목조건물 카페로 하고 있다 주인분 정말 친절. 목소리 나긋나긋 너무 친절. (2021.2기준) 현금 혹은 paypay이니 무비자 관광객들 나중에 오시는 거면 현금 챙기시는 게 좋을 듯. 오늘의 케익 진짜 맛남

    This café in Asuka Village, Takaichi County, Nara, is situated across the street from the Asuka Village Office.

Along with their café menu they have a popular food menu with dishes such as Hainanese chicken rice.

    行った時期はもっと前だったかもしれない。真神原の風景が目の前で立地はいいのだが………まずコーヒーフレッシュを置いていない。仕方がないからブラックに砂糖だけでも入れようとしたら店主が「砂糖を入れる前に、コーヒーを一口でも召し上がってください」と。私は寿司を塩で食えとかラーメンのスープを残すな、などと客に主人の好みを押し付けるような通ぶった店は大嫌いなのである。拘るのなら店の前にその旨を書いておけと思...

    Nara Pref. Kashiharashi Imaichou 4-6-13
    This is a cafe in Imai-cho, Kashihara City. Before the store became a cafe it first opened as a thrift store in the Edo period and then became a sake brewery. It is a family home that has been passed on since the first half of the 18th century. This cafe serves soba buckwheat noodles and Machiya-zen (a set menu including soba noodles and rice cooked with seasonal vegetables), sweets such as red bean paste with mochi rice cakes, coffee and local sake.

    今井町は見どころも多く、縦横無尽に歩き回る事になるので、待ちの中でゆっくりできるのは有り難いです。 食事をして時間も間もなかったので、お酒だけいただきましたが、「○○なら、お燗はしないほうがおススメですよ」などアドバイスもいただいて、いいお店だなぁ-と思いました。

    Nara Nara-shi Ganriincho 31-1

    抹茶かき氷を頼むのに、白いかき氷に抹茶をトッピングしなければならず、かき氷だけで1320円かかります。高いので二人でシェアしようとしたら、ワンオーダー制なので一人一つ注文してくださいと言われ、抹茶ラテ1100円を追加しなければなりませんでした。 普通のかき氷にあんこと白玉2個付いてますが、台湾かき氷の様にふわふわでもなく、コスパ最低です。店員の対応も少し横柄に感じました。 次はないなと思いました。

    Nara Takaichi-gun Asukamura Misono 1-1
    This old-fashioned cafe has been in business in Nara's Asuka for 40 years. Continuing to serve carefully crafted siphon drip coffee the same as when it first opened, each cup is diligently brewed one at a time to order. Made using full-bodied, charcoal-roasted beans with just the right amount of bitterness, the cafe's coffee is highly aromatic. The cafe also offers a full array of breakfast set meals, desserts, and other foods.

    外見は黒い瓦屋根と白い漆喰壁の土蔵風で、店内もレトロで落ち着いた雰囲気です。平日の昼前でしたが、モーニングサービスが12時までなのでオーダーしました。厚めのトースト、キャベツのサラダ、ハム、ゆで卵も付いてそれなりにボリュームがあります。サイフォンで淹れてくれるコーヒーもスッキリして美味でした。640円なのでコスパは普通です。

Nara Areas

around-area-map

With a reputation almost as stellar as that of Kyoto, Nara is a must-visit for those searching for the remains of "traditional Japan." The largely green Nara city holds the majority of the prefecture’s treasures, such as the iconic Todai-ji Temple, in which a 15-meter tall Great Buddha sits, and Nara Park, where deer flock to befriend passersby. While mountains are by no means hard to come by in this area, for hiking with a reward, head to the Kii Mountains’ Yoshino district in spring, when the hillsides put on an impressive display of white and pink cherry blossoms.
