Being located in a countryside area, Engawa cafe is best accesible by car.

The wooden sliding doors of the Japanese house it used to be has been changed to a full-length glass window.

Lounge here with a view of the garden and be entertained by the little duck pacing to and fro.

Vintage elements of the cafe provide for a rustic feel.

A romantic spot for a date as well.

I enjoyed observing the different elements of the cafe!

Rickety steps up nowhere.

The traditional elements of the old Japanese house blends in nicely with the new concept of a vintage cafe.

I ordered the dessert set of Caramelised Egg Pudding and Coffee.

I could not deal with the cuteness of the little milk pot!

A gorgeous view from where I was sitting. Spot the little duckie's butt!

Located in the middle of nature near Mount Yatsugatake, the Engawa Cafe is a rustic cafe overlooking a little garden. Once an old Japanese house, it has now been refashioned to include modern and vintage elements. The old and new blend together to create a rustic, yet fashionably vintage atmosphere. Later, more of such cafes opened in the area, but being the pioneer, the Engawa cafe still maintains its charm against the new competitors. The Caramelised Egg Pudding, made from fresh eggs from the Yamanashi prefecture, is a must-try. Enjoy a leisurely afternoon sipping coffee and watching the resident duck pacing to and fro through the glass window. It is 4 km from Kobuchizawa station and best accessible by car.
