New location for the well-loved Nappa Cafe 78. The BEST COFFEE in Nozawa Onsen, and they use actual crockery for their coffees, not disposable cups (which St Anton in the main village uses).

So please check their opening hours before coming add they have to care for their elderly parents. The food and service is consistently good whenever I've been here over the last 4 years. Barista coffee, home made delicious meals, personal decor they designed and vintage collections and service with heart. They have a small menu because what they do, they do well....
