A quiet old-style cafe tucked away in an alleyway where time stands still

I was just planning to make a quick detour, but I ended up completely captivated.

A few minutes' walk from Kita-Kamakura Station, down a narrow street in a residential area, you'll find "Kissa Minka," a warm cafe renovated from an old house built over 80 years ago, that feels like visiting a friend's house. It's a place where you can forget about your plans and relax during your trip.

☕️ What I experienced here

- Handmade cakes and carefully brewed coffee. Time to savor the taste as if taking a deep breath in the silence

- A space enveloped in the scent of wood. The sound of the records playing in the store makes you feel like you're rewinding time.

・The popular cheesecake and seasonal scones are sold out if you don't go early.
