The Least Useful Guide to Fukuoka

                     Kasutera and iced coffee: 450 yen

I think if you want a break in Tenjin on weekend, this place is worth remembering. Located upstairs of an old confectionary, which deals with a rather old-fashioned omiyage-type sweets, no one would think there’s a space open to the public.

In fact, when I visited, there was no one in the café, despite the fact that summer sale and Yamagasa festival exhibition were going on outside.

The café serves something to drink and pieces of sweets sold downstairs. So there is no freshly made cakes with a lot of whipped cream, or blog-friendly showy treats. But the quietness and having somewhere to sit and relax is very valuable in weekend Tenjin, where people queue up even in front of Dotour.  

 

One of the reasons this café is so quiet may be that the spiral staircase leading to the upstairs is quite steep and narrow. Not at all friendly for anyone. You can experience a bit of thrill especially when going down the stairs.

 

I think I have given you enough clues. Do find it yourself as I did!
