  • 冷たいものでも

    階段を上りきり、暑かったので、冷たいものでも食べながら休憩と思い、店内に入りました。メニューも見当たらなかったので、座ることなく、すぐに出ました。
  • 名水を使った抹茶やコーヒー

    紀三井寺の境内にある甘味処。紀三井寺は名水が有名なので、抹茶やコーヒーがありました。販売している煎餅にも名水が使われているそう。お店は高台にあるので眺めがよく、和歌の浦もよく見えました。
  • 席からの眺望だけは・・・最高!!

    本堂と同じ高さの境内にある売店兼喫茶・食堂です。日本語でない人がそこそこ入っていた。景色は絶景!素晴らしい眼下の景色を楽しみながらのコーヒータイムでした。
