Tama Café

Drinking coffee at TAMA CAFE in Kishi Station☕️Watching the stationmaster Tama at work🐱 Tama Train is one of the most important itineraries for this Wakayama trip. My bestie is a cat lover, and Tama Train is something she has always wanted to go to, so she specially arranged half a day for it this time! (For detailed riding strategies, please check out the archaeology, detailed sharing is available in the previous notes) In addition to the Tama tram being a must-visit for Wakayama, TAMA CAFE is also the reason why we stayed longer at Kishi Station~ On October 2, we had breakfast at the hotel early, set off from the hotel at 8:35, took the museum bus from Wakayama Station at 8:47, and arrived at the terminal at 9:23: Kishi Station❗️ 🍽【Food Guide】TAMA CAFE 📍Detailed address: Inside Kobe Kishi Station, Kishigawa-cho, Kikawa City, Wakayama Prefecture, Japan 🚗Transportation strategy: At Wakayama Station (❌ not Wakayama City Station), you can enter the station directly without swiping a card, go to Platform 9, Kishigawa Line, it is recommended to buy a one-day pass of 800 yen (unlimited transfers to various theme cars), and you don’t need to buy a JR pass. You can get a stamp card here 🕙Business hours: 10:00-16:00 🍽Recommended dishes: ✅Coffee Float: A cat made of vanilla ice cream, with almond ears and chocolate chips for eyes. It floats on the coffee very cutely. The vanilla ice cream is not very milky, and the American coffee is a bit bland. ✅Tama Sundae: A cat head made of vanilla ice cream, with almond ears and chocolate chips for eyes, with whipped cream, and a cookie with the cat Xiaoyu Stationmaster pattern on it. It's so cute~ You must order it for this cute look! The vanilla ice cream is not very strong, and the taste is 🉑! 🖼Restaurant environment: I like the environment of TAMA CAFE very much. It is a small coffee shop located in Kishi Station. It has a very retro decoration style and is equipped with many cultural and creative products related to cats. The large floor-to-ceiling doors and windows face the office of Xiaoyu Stationmaster, so you can drink coffee while watching Xiaoyu Stationmaster open business! 💰 Average consumption per person: 640 yen 🍜 Restaurant score: The restaurant is located in Kishi Station and opens at 10:00. We arrived half an hour early. There are not many places to visit around. We visited the small shrine at Kishi Station and waited for the cafe to open and for the stationmaster Tama to open. Fortunately, the TAMA SHOP in Kishi Station opened earlier that day. After a look around, I bought a Tama stationmaster refrigerator magnet for 480 yen. The time was just right, and the cafe and Tama stationmaster opened on time👏 📌Tips: Tama stationmaster: The second generation is at Kishi Station, and the fourth generation is at Itaiki Station. The stationmasters have different business hours. It is recommended to go on Tuesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. They are all open (🕐10:00-16:00) #Just travel the mountains and rivers #Wish you a magical day #Self-driving friends #Monthly special plan #Local delicacies
