Nagano - MARUSAN Cafe | A relaxing cafe experience surrounded by flowers

Located in Shimo-Suwa Town, Suwa District, Nagano Prefecture, MARUSAN Cafe & Shop is a place where flowers, food, and relaxation come together in harmony. We recommend this place as a place to escape the everyday and recharge your mind and senses. Below are five recommended points. Basic Information * Address: 1F Flower Building, 4997-7 Nishiyo, Shimo-Suwa Town, Suwa District, Nagano Prefecture (inside Kobayashi Flower Shop) * Business Hours: 11:00 AM - 5:00 PM (Last Order) Open Year-Round * Phone: 0266-28-1188 * Free Wi-Fi Available 1. A Florist Attached to the Shop, Enlivening the Visual and Mood This cafe is located inside Kobayashi Flower Shop, a florist in business for over 80 years. Its greatest appeal is the opportunity to enjoy cafe time surrounded by flowers and plants. The scent and color of the petals gently envelop the space, making it an ideal place for photos. For example, they regularly sell a Japanese sweet called "Hana Ohagi," offering a beautiful, seasonal dessert experience that only a florist can offer. 2. Menu Supervision and Local Ingredients The cafe menu is overseen by Masafumi Karaki, owner of Mumei (formerly Washoku Karaki), a renowned Japanese restaurant in Chino City. The flavors are a testament to the careful preparation. Ingredients are sourced locally from Shinshu whenever possible, with a focus on freshness and flavor. This cafe is perfect for those who want to experience the seasons through its menu. 3. Relaxing Space and Design The interior of the cafe blends seamlessly with the flower shop, featuring a natural, warm décor. Natural light streams in through the windows, creating a soft glow in the afternoon. The seats are spaced far apart, making it ideal for conversation with friends or reading alone. The cafe's hours are relatively relaxed, from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM, making it even more comfortable if you visit during less busy times. 4. Seasonal Menus and Special Features, Including Hana Ohagi (Flower Ohagi) * Hana Ohagi: While a traditional Japanese sweet, it's visually stunning. It's a touch of florist flair. It's sold irregularly, 2-3 days a week, so it's best to check the timing of your visit. * Other sweets and drinks are also seasonal, with limited-time menus sometimes featuring seasonal flowers or fruits. The charm of this cafe is the chance to discover something new every time you visit. 5. Convenient Access and Local Connections * Easily accessible from Shimo-Suwa Town, a tourist destination near Lake Suwa, it's easy to incorporate into your "tourist route + hidden cafe" plan. * Parking: Parking is available across from Shio Public Hall, making it convenient for those visiting by car. * Multiple payment methods are accepted, including cash, credit card, and iD, making it convenient. Summary MARUSAN Cafe is the perfect spot for those looking for a break in Nagano, offering flowers, delicious food, and quiet time. A space that soothes the senses, tastes, and aromas. * Nagano MARUSAN Cafe * Suwa Cafe with Florist * Nagano Stylish Cafes and Tourist Spots * Hana Ohagi Cafe Nagano * Recommended Cafes in Shimo-Suwa #JapanTravelGuide #DomesticTravel #Nagano
