This is the outdoor garden. Isn’t it adorable and pretty? Somehow it makes you want to walk along that path without even realizing it.. My eyes were drawn to the miniature pines and the lamp-shaped figurines. Every little decoration was so cute and unusual, hehe. The snowy scenery was so lovely — ah.. traveling when it has snowed feels so romantic.. Maybe because I don’t have to go to work? haha

I don’t have a photo of the parking lot ^^:: We were a group and traveled by tour bus. Since a tour bus can park there, you can imagine the size of the lot. It had snowed that morning, so there was a row of cute little snowmen lined up on the stone wall~~ They’d built the wall out of these lovely stones. Honestly, the moment I saw this wall I could tell how much care went into every detail of the interior ^^

This is the front entrance and also where you order; behind it is the kitchen — huge, isn’t it? Everything was neatly organized, and since the place has only been open a few months, the stainless steel was gleaming ^^

The stairs from the first floor to the second… there are quite a lot of them. So the second floor might be a burden for older visitors. There are seats on the first floor and the terrace too, but there are far more seats upstairs. That was a slight shame. An elevator would have been even better.

But once you come up to the second floor, you’ll be amazed at the scale. There are different floor levels, so the seating is arranged in varied ways and positioned so you can enjoy this mountain view — I loved it. I wanted to take photos, but it was the weekend and there were a lot of guests, so I felt a bit self-conscious. Of course I’d only post photos without infringing on anyone’s likeness rights… Aren’t these chair colors so pretty? The fireplace color could easily have made things look drab, but you could see the owner’s good taste. And do you see the firewood next to the fireplace? It’s real wood.. so there’s the scent of burning wood, which made it feel even cozier — looking at the mountain view, for about three seconds I felt like I was camping, hahaha

This is the second-floor terrace. I liked it so much that I found myself wanting to come back in spring or autumn when the weather is nice. Ah!! Maybe that’s why the cafe is called ‘And Spring’ (Geurigo Bom). Aha~~

Our group had 31 people, so we were looking for a place where all of us could go in and sit together — and where a tour bus could park too. I think we found a great one. Praise to our searching skills!! True to what this place is for, we weren’t holding a seminar, but we could each enjoy a leisurely cup of tea. It was the perfect time to catch our breath before the next leg of the trip.

Actually, before coming here we had gone at the rail bike with real enthusiasm, hehe. It was so much fun.. I’ll post about that another time ^^

Anyway, even with a group this hard to move around, we had privacy and weren’t disturbed at all. We had a wonderful time chatting away. It was so nice! The drinks were really good too!! I highly recommend this cafe!!!

It’s the perfect distance to come here for a drink after riding the rail bike — less than 10 minutes by car, I think. Have you ever ridden a rail bike??

Then I’ll be back with the rail bike!!
