Exploring Yakushima for the first time, we stumbled upon this hidden gem on a rainy day when most places were closed. The "open" sign felt like a ray of sunlight in the gloom, rescuing our hunger. The ambiance and food left a lasting impression – delicious flavors crafted with care. The antique interior with a Western touch, coupled with the warmth of the super-friendly owner, made the experience even more delightful. Grateful for the unexpected treat of fresh oranges. Thank you very much!

It is important to notice the premises are closed between 1400 & 1800 on the published opening days (monday is closed)..... Sorry but chocolate cake was so good, it didn't dare waiting for the snapshot....

屋久島安房港近く、高速船乗り場から徒歩7分程度の安房川河口の風景を見ながらランチをいただける。 和茶灯(わさび)の屋号もしゃれているし、ジャズのBGMの耳触りが雰囲気と合っていて心地よいお店。11時スタートで、他の店よりもやや早く14時でクローズするのでご注意を。 コーヒーは深入りです。

Cute little lunch spot serving Japanese meals and coffee in beautiful homemade tableware. They have an English menu if you need one.
