Hiramatsugumi, nestled in the tranquil hills of Awaji Island at 555 Nakagawara, Sumoto City, opened its doors on April 26, 2018. Tucked away in a lush, green setting, the cafe is part of a unique architectural space that once served as a cowshed. Its understated signage and industrial exterior give way to a surprisingly refined and spacious interior, seamlessly blending the natural beauty of Awaji with thoughtful design elements. The main draw here is the harmonious coexistence of architecture, gallery, and cafe—a place where visitors can enjoy both the serenity of nature and the creativity of local artists.
Inside, the atmosphere is calm and inviting, with natural light streaming across earthen walls and handcrafted furniture. The space is dotted with artisanal ceramics, homewares, and accessories, all curated from local creators. The cafe area itself is cozy yet open, offering views of the surrounding greenery and creating a sense of peaceful retreat from the bustle of daily life. Hiramatsugumi’s main point of attraction is this immersive experience: a blend of architecture, art, and nature that draws visitors from within and beyond Hyogo Prefecture.
The food and drink menu at Hiramatsugumi is crafted with a strong emphasis on local, seasonal ingredients. Guests can expect thoughtfully prepared dishes such as a simple yet flavorful hamburger steak, praised for its delicate sauce and home-style taste. The menu also features seasonal desserts and drinks, often incorporating fruits and vegetables harvested from nearby fields. The offerings are intentionally limited but executed with care, ensuring that each dish reflects the region’s bounty and the cafe’s commitment to quality.
In summary, Hiramatsugumi stands out as more than just a cafe—it’s a destination where architecture, art, and the flavors of Awaji Island come together in perfect balance. Whether stopping in for a quiet coffee or exploring the gallery’s curated selection, visitors leave feeling refreshed, inspired, and more connected to the natural rhythms of the island
