“Shikiroi Sotto” (www.instagram.com/_____sottokashi/) is a hidden gem in the countryside of Makino, Shiga, where time seems to slow down. Housed in a beautifully renovated kominka, this countryside cafe is run by the warm and welcoming couple, Konoha and Seigo. The moment you step inside, you are greeted with a kind smile, and the space immediately embraces you with its rustic charm. The name “Shikiroi Sotto” comes from two words: “Sotto,” which means being close to someone, and “Shikiroi,” which represents the changing seasons. The owners combined these meanings to create a name that reflects both warmth and nature’s transitions.
The interior of Shikiroi Sotto exudes warmth and nostalgia, blending rustic charm with a refined sense of simplicity. The weathered wooden beams and muted earthy walls create a serene, almost timeworn beauty, while the soft glow of exposed light bulbs adds a gentle coziness to the space. Thoughtfully arranged antique furniture, handcrafted ceramics, and delicate floral accents highlight the owners’ meticulous attention to detail. On colder days, a cast iron wood stove at the center of the room radiates warmth, making the café feel even more inviting. Every corner tells a story, evoking a sense of peaceful retreat where one can savor a quiet moment over coffee and plant-based sweets.
The sweets, crafted by Konoha, are entirely plant-based, each one delicate and beautifully presented. Sitting by the window with a plate of her seasonal creations and a cup of coffee brewed by Seigo (instagram.com/kizukicoffee/), customers will feel at peace. (At time of visit customers could choose from “Strawberry Tofu Tiramisu, Seasonal Fruit Tart, Milk Crepe, Almond Tofu or Strawberry pudding). The combination of flavors, the gentle atmosphere, and the breathtaking countryside view outside makes for a truly luxurious moment. Despite the quiet setting, the cafe has a lively energy, perhaps due to the love and passion infused into every detail. The exclusivity of requiring a reservation adds to the magic—since the address is only revealed upon booking, each visit feels like a secret, treasured experience.
Besides running their cafe, Konoha and Seigo often take their craft beyond these walls, offering sweets and coffee at various events and pop-ups. Their dedication to sharing their passion with others is evident in every sip and bite. Whether you’re admiring the seasonal changes reflected in the name “Shikiroi Sotto” or simply taking in the comforting ambiance, this is a place that soothes the soul. It’s a cafe you don’t just visit—you feel it, remember it, and long to return.
Important: The address of the café will be shared after you contact them the owners or make a reservation. For business hours and other inquiries, please contact the café via their Instagram account.

マキノ町、滋賀県の田舎にひっそりと佇む素敵なカフェ「しきろいSotto」(instagram.com/_____sottokashi/)があります。秘密にしたいカフェですが、秘密にしたらもったいない。美しく改装された古民家カフェで、温かく親切なカップル、コノハさんとセイゴさんによって営まれています。お店に入った瞬間、コノハさんの温かな笑顔でもてなされると同時に、ラスティックで素敵な空間に包まれ、心がキュンとする!店名の由来は、そっと寄り添うとかの「そっと」という言葉から取ってsotto という名前でしたが、今の場所でのカフェオープンを機に、四季のうつろいを意味して「しきろい」という言葉をプラスし、しきろいsotto という名前にしたそうです。
