If you're looking to experience a café and restaurant where you can enjoy all four seasons, Kurochaya is highly recommended! This establishment is housed in a renovated Showa-era residence that is over 300 years old. On the terrace, you can savor coffee or tea while listening to the soothing sounds of the valley stream. You can also grab some shaved ice from the adjacent shop to enjoy. With a spacious parking lot and a large area shared with the restaurant, it's also a great spot for a leisurely stroll. Highly recommended!

Enjoy nature at the edge of Tokyo 🍃 A terrace cafe with a spectacular view overlooking the Akigawa Valley. When it's crowded, parking is only available to those with reservations, so I had to park at the station and then take the shuttle bus 🫠 But I was able to get a seat right away ✌🏻 Kurochaya is an old-style restaurant in Akiruno City, Tokyo. In addition to this outdoor terrace, the large grounds also include a teahouse, an oyaki shop, and a souvenir shop.

Tokyo 🫧 Akiruno City Kurochaya I visited for my birthday. The meal was the Seiryu course. The portions were very filling. The basket containing the appetizers was covered with a magnolia leaf, and it was exciting and thrilling to turn it over ♡ Everything was carefully prepared, and I especially tried the plum tempura for the first time. It was hot and soft, and the taste of the plum filled my mouth. Overall, there were a lot of wild vegetables that made me feel the spring. It felt like high-end country cuisine. It seems that sweetfish will be available from June, so I'd like to go again. 🚗/167 Konakano, Akiruno, Tokyo ⏰/Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, public holidays, the day before public holidays, and the day after public holidays 11:00 - 15:00 17:00 - 21:00 L.O.
