Cafe Nichigetsu - Hidaka

Really nice atmosphere and great food. Plus their baked products are very delicious.

My autistic brother happens to stumbled upon this cafe during one of his live-stream. He didn't have any cash on him, but the kind lady working there gave him some free bread anyway.

Very very kind owner, thank you for helping my friend Joey, the broke Taiwan guy with crazy hair. Based on an interaction I witnessed on Twitch where the the shop keeper allowed Joey, who didn't have any money to let him use the restroom and then she went out of her way to chase and give him free bread for his journey.

Nice outdoor terrasse and tasty food. A bit expensive though.

I am a dark voyager. On a lonely afternoon, I’ve stumbled upon this small shop in the middle of my mission, however before continuing my journey my abdominal pain was sharper than usual. I approached the woman who happens to be the hop keeper and allowed me to use her establishment. 56 seconds later, I was finished, and ready to continue my journey. As I step foot out to the world of unknown, she came running up towards us and say “take this, this shall bless your journey.” Thank you woman, I shall remember your kindness forever. -the dark voyager

You may know my good friend Joey, otherwise know as the Dark Voyager. He stumbled upon this humble shop in the middle of his journey, although he had no funds to make purchase, the kind shopkeeper allowed Joey to use her facilities and even blessed his journey by gifting him a exquisite piece of bread. Simply amazing.

Superb venue -- a wood house, surrounded by trees and a generous deck right beside a river. The bread is absolutely delicious and obviously crafted by people who know and love bread. The only reason I hesitate giving it 5 stars is because of the price -- there are many more restaurants and cafes in the area with great food at a fraction of the price. Prepare to spend at LEAST ¥1,300 (tax included) for a meal WITHOUT drinks. It is a place you would love to go to more often if only it were not that expensive.

The service at this place was chaotic, messy and unprofessional. I'm used to this kind of service in Europe but not in Japan. We felt more like we were bothering them than being welcomed. It didn't help that a woman raced past us as we were walking towards the restaurant to take the last seat on the terrace. And when someone else left, the same woman jumped to that free seat because it had a better view. Some people are just selfish, and we were standing there like idiots in the heat with a small baby while staff seemed overwhelmed and instead of communicating properly she just mumbled things while walking. When we finally sat down, set up the baby seat, had a look at the menu and decided what to order (pizza's), the staff said : all pizza's are sold out, it's just sandwiches. Well, you could have saved us half and hour if you had just cared to mention that beforehand ! So I said : I've had it with this place, and we left. I can't judge the food because we didn't eat here, and I'll guess we'll never know because we won't be going back there. Bad service is super rare in Japan, it happens like once or twice a year. We finally went to a family restaurant chain, with the usual kind and professional service, great food and prices, and were satisfied after all, those places are really underrated (always 3.5-3.7 stars) whereas local shops tend to get 4.0-4.4 stars often well deserved but also quite often just overrated. This is such a place.
