Higashiyama Bonheur, a café surrounded by trees, is located at the entrance to Tsurusenkei of Yamanaka Onsen.
It is a two-storey café that has been renovated from a 50-year-old building that was once used as an annex for a hot-spring inn. When you step in, you will feel as if you have entered a different world.
Soft natural light shines through the tasteful Showa era ground glass, making it possible to enjoy different atmospheres on the first and second floors.
The specialty of the cafe is “beef stew”.
The sweetness of the slowly boiled vegetables at low temperatures and the beef that has been boiled so softly that it can be loosened with a spoon is an exquisite melt in your mouth.
There are delicious homemade sweets, fresh juices, coffee and alcohol.
We recommend that you stop by the café during a stroll through the green Kakusen Valley.
