【Aomori】One of only two Starbucks in Japan designated as a Registered Tangible Cultural Property

The Starbucks located in Hirosaki City, Aomori Prefecture, is a unique store designated as a Registered Tangible Cultural Property✨

In fact, there are only two Starbucks in Japan with this designation😳, and one of them is the Hirosaki Koen-mae Store.

Situated right in front of Hirosaki Castle Park, the building was originally constructed in 1917 as the official residence of an army division commander. The structure has a rich history and beautifully incorporates local materials and traditional crafts while preserving its original architectural design.

The interior exudes the charm of the Taisho era, offering a calm and relaxing atmosphere. Additionally, there is a room displaying photos of the building's history, which can also be used as an eat-in space, allowing visitors to enjoy the historical ambiance😌

Be sure to visit at least once😊
