Miyajima Coffee — Restaurant in Hatsukaichi

We stumbled upon Miyajima Coffee while exploring the island and decided to pop in for a break. What a delightful little café! It’s cozy, warm, and just the kind of place you want to sit down at after walking through the island’s attractions.

I'm not a big fan of the interior, it was very cold and the furniture was not comfortable - it kind of felt like they were in the middle of renovation? so maybe that was the case. Anyhow, it's not amazing but it is probably the best you can find in...
