Opened in March 2020 within Shinjuku Gyoen, originally constructed as an imperial garden during the Meiji era and later opened to the public as a national park after the war, this establishment marks the first presence of a private enterprise within the park.

The store, located past the Sendagaya Gate and across the central pond, features a design that allows the ceiling and eaves to continue seamlessly, integrating the interior with the exterior and immersing it in the park's ever-changing natural beauty. The interior is designed with sustainability in mind, utilizing domestic wood for walls, ceilings, counters, and tables, creating a stylish yet warm atmosphere.

The seating arrangement and large glass windows, strategically placed to incorporate the park's landscape as a borrowed view, are particularly striking. Built along a slope, seats are arranged parallel to the windows, offering beautiful views from every angle. On sunny days in spring and autumn, the outdoor terrace and bench seats are perfect for a leisurely time.

Highlights

  • Architectural design that seamlessly connects with the surrounding nature.
