An ideal stop to fuel up for Minakami adventures
Next to the Tone River with views of the mountains and valleys of Minakami, Bossa Nova Cafe is a favorite stop for breakfast, lunch, or a mid-adventure break. Hikers, climbers, and campers often drop by to refuel before or after exploring the great outdoors. Inside, the cafe offers a mix of sofas and lounge chairs, while the spacious terrace is perfect for warmer days.
Known for its flavorful curry and pasta lunches, the cafe also serves an array of rich chocolate desserts. The attached chocolate atelier crafts original chocolates using organic and fair-trade cocoa beans, making for a perfect souvenir or indulgence. You’ll also find a selection of outdoor essentials—hats, water bottles, and more—handy for any last-minute gear needs.
