Nishimura Coffee Shop on Kitanozaka has a lovely waiting area and garden

Kitanozaka Nishimura Coffee Shop The "special" Nishimura opened in 1974 as Japan's first members-only coffee shop. It was opened to the public after the Great Hanshin Earthquake in 1995. Many people know about the interior of the shop because it is often talked about on social media, but the outside waiting area and garden of Nishimura Coffee Shop are also wonderful! The hydrangeas were blooming beautifully in early June. It seems that the shop is maintained so that flowers of each season bloom even in other seasons. There are few people in the morning. The waiting area surrounded by greenery is a photogenic spot. It was also perfect for portraits. ■Address 2-1-20 Yamamotodori, Chuo-ku, Kobe, Hyogo Prefecture ■Access 6 minutes on foot from Sannomiya Station 15 minutes on foot from Shin-Kobe Station #QuintessaCampaign #Kobe #NishimuraCoffee #PhotogenicSpot #PhotogenicSpot
