Went there today and enjoyed the hotdog and pastrami beef sandwich. Tasted GREAT. Nice place! Very comfortable and relaxing with a nice view and the sound of the river below. Owner was really nice and cheerful. Good place to stop for a break along the road.

Stopped by here on a whim while driving with the wife. Had a coke and hot coffee which were refreshing. This roadside stop is nice, and is turned away from the street so you don't get the rushing of cars going by. Parking was easy (coming from the East) and there were port-a-potty restrooms. A decent place to stop!

Found that Cafe that looks like an American Diner totally at random while touring in Okutama. We didn't know if it was open at first but it was and the owner is really nice. Grab a homemade burger, a Coke, a cheesecake and taste the nice coffee while your bike is cooling down. It's a perfect touring/adventure experience.

If you’ve climbed this route up to lake Okutama, you’ve probably passed this spot either on the way up or down. It’s often too early or too late into the ride to stop so it takes a bit of pre planning to really enjoy this location. That said the atmosphere is great with the sound of the water nearby. The gentleman operating the cafe is super friendly and he makes a fantastic cheeseburger! It pairs great with an iced coffee or coke. Bike parking is plentiful and there is enough seating even for a group. There were seven of us and he still had the food out quickly. Great stop!

A coffee shop in the middle of the mountain, popular for bikers to stop by. Great vibe and nice coffee.

My friend showed me this cafe not far from where I live. The moment I seen the tenpei statue (robot from Castle in the Sky) outside the cafe I KNEW it was going to be a wonderful stop for lunch. The sandwiches and burgers were absolutely loaded with meat and veggies. They also obliged one of our friends who requested "light sauce" on her sandwich. The chips/fries were nice and crispy with a light layer of salt. The owners are super kind and try their best to accommodate their customers. There is seating at the cafe, we were able to seat 12 people when we visited. I highly recommend stopping here whether it be between your hikes or just passing through.
