Mikasa Coffee Shop — Restaurant in Karuizawa

I went there twice, once just for coffee, and once for lunch. I was pleased both visits. The location on Mikasa Dori near the previous hotel (now a museum) is good if you've walked from Kyu Karuizawa Ginza Dori (about 30 minutes). You can take a break before walking back. The tables outside are next to a river, and the view is very nice, a forest. The coffee is served elegantly in a beautiful China cup and saucer in a French press, accompanied by an hourglass timer, flowers and snack. The curry is the same recipe as was served in the Mikasa Hotel. There are numerous interesting curios in the store on display...

It's been closed for years, but it's a coffee shop that represents Karuizawa, so I hope it will reopen🥰🥰🥰 I wonder if it will reopen once the construction of the Mikasa Hotel is finished? If anyone knows, please...

After visited Mikasa Hotel, I had lunch here, This cafe is called Mikasa-Cha ya. A recommend menu is Mikasa Curry. It's taste really good you should try. And I also recommend terace space, you can look beautiful green forest. I love this Cha-ya （ Cha-ya means Tea house ）and I'll be back...
