But, we think of this not so much negatively because we have Shiratori-an instead. It’s our second place located at the center of Boso peninsula. We bought this place last spring and was fixing the old building to use as a coworking space. In our original plan, it would open in next two year or so, but we changed our mind due to COVID-19. It seems a good time to focus into our new place.

Shiratori-an now open

From April 1st, Shiratori-an is open. 🎉

Our half-century old kominka (Japanese style farm house) is still under rebuilding though, the coworking room is avalable already. Come and see us!

• WiFi
• Coffee and Tea (self-serviced)
• Electric Scooter

And also, a lot of activities to enjoy!

• Hiking (by walk or electric scooter)
• Carpenting
• BBQ, baking Pizza, …etc.

We basically open through Saturday to Wednesday. Let us know when to use before you come.

UPDATE (Apr 7): emergency declared in Japan for Tokyo and Chiba. So, plz stay home. We’ll be back to both locations maybe next year, I think.

Due to COVID-19, the cafe goes into hibernation

COVID-19 (coronavirus) is unstoppable. Due to this, we have decided to hibernate our cafe for a while.

UPDATE (Apr 7): emergency declared in Japan for Tokyo. The cafe was locked. (it means that your card keys don’t work)

UPDATE (Mar 29): we have decided to drop “ticket members” too, and we extended the period to March 2021, at least. We can’t expect “when” it stops, but we promise that we’ll be back to our normal mode in the future.

For our monthly members, the space is available with some limitation. Check these points below:

• DO — First things first, take good care of yourself.
• DO — Check your temperature daily. Should you have a fever, don’t go out.
• DO — If you have any trouble, let us know. We can help you.
• DON’T — Do not use public transportations to come the cafe. Let’s walk or ride a bike.
• DON’T —Do not stay the cafe at night. Available time is 8am-8pm.

For existing ticket members, you can use your tickets left until Apr 15. Please not use public transportations to come. Unfortunately, we do not update your membership. Sorry for your inconvenient. If you have, you can use your remaining tickets after our restarting the cafe next year even if the ticket was expired already.
