🍃 Nature, Architecture, and Sweets at Toraya Kobo in Gotemba

#hellohalloween On a sunny day, we took a lovely drive to Gotemba with one special destination in mind—Toraya Kobo, a serene café run by the long-established Japanese confectionery brand Toraya. Nestled in a spacious garden next to the historic Former Residence of Prime Minister Nobusuke Kishi, this café offers a rare blend of traditional craftsmanship, modern design, and tranquil nature. The architecture itself is stunning—designed with flowing curves and warm wooden textures, blending harmoniously with the surrounding bamboo forest and lush greenery. We ordered the barley and grated yam rice set (mugitoro gohan teishoku) for lunch and finished with their signature dorayaki (red bean pancake). Everything was delicious and beautifully presented. Sitting in nature, enjoying traditional sweets and seasonal dishes—it was a perfect lunch escape from the city. 📍Toraya Kobo, Gotemba, Shizuoka #gotembatrip #japanesetradition #torayakobo #cafewithnature #wagashi #toraya
