List of pet friendly cafes in the Kansai area.
When the weather is good one of the more pleasurable things in life is to enjoy a nice drink or a delicious lunch outside in the open, on a terrace.
Unlike European countries (e.g. Netherlands or France) Japan might not really have a terrace culture per se, however there are still a few exceptions here and there. Below is our list of recommended cafes that have a nice terrace.
On a 5 minute walk from Kitahama Station is a nice little sandwich cafe called ‘Sandwich Parlour 47’ that’s situated right along the river with a terrace that has a view over Nakanoshima island. The terrace is great because even if it rains or if the sun shines, they have a canopy so you can enjoy sitting outside comfortably.
Sandwich Parlour 47 sells various delicious sandwich plates that cost about 1200 yen that come with a side of delicious fried potato wedges. Many of the sandwiches use ingredients from other prefectures (Hokkaido sour cream avocado dip salmon sandwich, Akita Prefecture smoked radish pickles with potato salad and grilled mackerel sandwich, etc), sounds amazing right? Well it is!
Its a great place to relax and enjoy absolutely delicious sandwiches while enjoying the view over Nakanoshima.
