cafe and Onsen and Antique shop in Tokyo-

Surrounded by woods, river, and Onsen-hot spring. This is Iwakura onsen in Ome, Tokyo.

Japanese style hotel in Iwakura onsen.

In myth era, a famous man, Yamato Takeru visited here to cure his injured.

I went there last week to have teatime with friends. But before that, I have been there to enjoy lunch and bath.

The cafe I went last week is named Cafe Yuba. In front of it, there is a pond. The cafe has balcony, so could enjoy food or teatime outside with seeing pond and hearing bird's sounds.

Cafe's door and stone statue close by.

Iwakura onsen has some hotel. If you want, you could only enjoy lunch and bath without staying all night.

Inside of cafe and cake and tea.

Thins area is next to Saitama prefecture. Within 15 minutes driving, you could get to Moomin Park  

Moomin family's house and Moomin's lake house in the park, 

We can go into Moomin family's house which has small furniture for Moomins.

After teatime, we headed to go there, but on the way, we glanced at the　signboard which was written here is an antique shop.

Left above:The shop's outside, Left below: many Buddha statues are there.
Right: these are stuffed turtle which used to be put in pharmrcy

It's small, but amazing things in it!!!!

Big statues, big bases, paintings, furniture, and so on.

Not only Japanese things.

It's like a museum. Since this area is countryside, just driving is very fun.
Breath natural air, feel green.

Spend the time there where the old legend still left.
