My favourite cafe
The staff are genuinely lovely, and the cafe itself is beautiful. It’s always feels calm and welcoming. During the day it’s filled with soft natural light, and at night it becomes warm and cosy, creating a really comfortable atmosphere. It’s the kind of place where you wish you could stay for longer.

Amazing & memorable stay
Nice ambience, very kind & polite staff, vegetarian food options, amidst nature at the same time close accessibility to town. The room we stayed in had an antique setup, which gave a nostalgic feeling. Was convenient with free car parking. The traditional Japanese breakfast (vegetarian) prepared and served was simply amazing. Special thanks for that.
If the wallpaper work in the room could be completed, it would look great.

Good cafe-restaurant. Room with no view and questionably clean bathroom. Staff is barely ok.
The property is ideally located on the south-west facing bank of a gentle hill. The sunset is nice.
This is a small town, so the train station is just minutes away (the slope gets steep, but nothing out of the ordinary).
The food is delicious. Maybe their business as a cafe-restaurant is their core-business. Or it should be.
The breakfast was delicious too. And the staff who delivered it was impeccable. He did not treat me as a foreigner, but as a customer.
There are two rooms. Mine had no window to speak of (one opacified window on the east side; the other, clear, facing some sort of shed on the north side).
The drain in the shared bathroom was partially obfuscated, enough so that by the time enough water had flowed and I'd get hot water, the sink was half-full. Then it would take tens of seconds to fully clear away. The bathroom was, in general, not clean. In an insulting way, almost. Why would they leave their own unwashed clothes in some basket of the shared bathroom? Their own toothbrush? (they fixed that, at some point)
The music. Too loud, too repetitive (it is a 3-4 hours loop), always the same kind of faux-retro, faux-french, bad music.
The service was really unprofessional. I had to go to them anytime I wanted anything. I had to ponder whether I should go to them, or gesture to them, or call them, while seeing them laughing and conversing and being oh-so-very-polite-an-nice with their local customers.
It's really annoying, when you know you can speak and understand Japanese because you've invested years of your time to get there, and Japanese people in a client facing position still treat you as a child or as some mentally ill person. The panic in their eye, I don't get it.
So I would not recommend anyone who does not look and speak Japanese to stay there. Eating there is probably enjoyable for anyone, tough. But then, I'd also recommend Daigo Cafe, just minutes away, with a much more enjoyable atmosphere (albeit, inside).

Great location, excellent food
Everything else. Saku Cafe is as described. It is someone's home in which you are staying and it happens to also be an excellent cafe. Breakfast was delicious. And I also enjoyed a lovely lunch.
I wished that the room door could be locked from the outside. I wished that there was a power outlet closer to the bed, so it would be easier to use my phone will charging it. Also, the female staff member seemed quite angry. It would have been nice, if she were a little friendly. I felt unwelcomed speaking to her.
The staff are genuinely lovely, and the cafe itself is beautiful. It’s always feels calm and welcoming. During the day it’s filled with soft natural light, and at night it becomes warm and cosy, creating a really comfortable atmosphere. It’s the kind of place where you wish you could stay for longer.
