During our trip to Hokkaido, we visited several shops or cafes in the woods.
This is a tiny studio for wooden crafts
There were a lot of works and some of them were displayed outside.
Especially love this work!
He is like a naughty fairy of the forest, isn't he?
Strolling in the woods, we were getting tired... then, found a nice cafe!!
The name of this cafe is "Mori no Tokei," which means "Forest Clock"
We seated at the bar just in front of a large window, through which we could enjoy the forest green.
I ordered a cup of coffee, then an owner handed a coffee mill to me saying, "Please grind it by yourself."
Forest Clock seems to tick slowly...
Actually, this cafe provided a setting for Japanese famous TV drama about ten years ago.
I felt like I was in the TV drama, and felt relax to have a delicious coffee and cake:)
And we visited Ninguru Terrace.
Ninguru Terrace is a beautiful collection of boutique huts, housing specialty arts and crafts along with their creators. The creators sit there in the shops displaying and making more of their products as you wander around. This charming village is magical at night with all the lights on.
The woods in Hokkaido gave us an illusion of being in a fairy tale:)
Keity,
ReplyDeleteI would love to visit this beautiful cafe in the forest. It's so gorgeous! Love the Ninguru Terrace at night with all the beautiful lights. Thanks for sharing.
Hugs,

It's so fascinating to see such a rustic setting in Japan, the lights on the cabins at night are especially pretty. A lovely place for a visit and a big change from the city where you live.
ReplyDeleteKeity this is simply amazing ! To have these little shops blend into the forest the way they do is just wonderful.
ReplyDeleteYes at night with the little lights on it makes it magical indeed ... I can't think of a more beautiful way to display their talent and taste. I have never seen anything like it ... although when we lived in Holland and went to different countries to see their Christmas markets ... at night the little fairy lights and the smell of wonderful food drifting around, was almost magical too. But to be in the forest ... that is the best magic of all !
Joy : )
