About

Welcome to one of our more special entries called ‘Sky Cafe Wazuka’, which is a small log house built near the top of a mountain. It’s located in the outskirts of Wazuka town, famous for its tea farms and is only accessible by car.

The house is owned by a small teashop located at the foot of the mountain. Next to the teashop is a large carparking. After you you park the car you’ll go inside the shop where you can order your drink, get the key to the house as well as a map with the route to the house.

The walk is about 10 minutes but can be quite a struggle for people with walking difficulties or disabilities as you have to cross uneven terrain and climb steep manmade steps towards the house.

The house is entirely made of wood and is about 13m 2 in size. Inside it has a high ceiling but decorated with wooden beams that make it look like the inside of an umbrella. In the middle of the floor is a raised octagon tatami floor/seating space with a small table on top of a beautiful Japanese pot. The house has windows on all sides with a fantastic panoramic view of the whole town and the tea farms.

The tiny ‘house’ can be booked privately for 500 yen a person per 1 hour and is for up to 7 persons.

Sky Cafe Wazuka is a lovely log house near the top of the mountain, where you can enjoy a cup of tea while taking in the beautiful panoramic view of the town and its tea farms. Definitely recommended for people who are looking to do something special in Japan.
