A place that combines traditional warmth with new charm
Cafe Tsunagu, renovated from a 100-year-old traditional Japanese house, is a modern Japanese space that combines the good old traditions of Japan with the beauty of today. We offer a relaxing time through colorful dishes and sweets made with local ingredients and a Japanese cultural experience.
Bringing a sense of nostalgia and comfort to local residents
Introducing the charm of Japan to tourists
With that thought in mind
It is a place of connection.
Connecting thoughts
This cafe was born from the desire to protect old houses that were being demolished.
Otsu city is home to many beautiful, historic old houses. However, many of them are not being used and are being demolished.
Cafe Tsunagu was born from the desire to “make use of these wonderful spaces, promote the charm of the local area, and create a place that connects local people, and the past and future.”
The cafe’s name, “Tsunagu,” contains the meaning of “connecting.”
