Heart n Tree Cafe

A Beautiful Hillside Cafe in Tsurui Village

Chris Barnes   - 1 min read

Cafe Heart n Tree is a nostalgic little cafe situated on a hillside overlooking Tsurui Village just a 45 minute drive from Kushiro in eastern Hokkaido. The family-run cafe has specialized in 100% locally sourced produce for almost 15 years, most of which is grown in the gardens of the cafe itself. The meals at the cafe are nothing short of spectacular, and Hattori-san the chef, takes pride in explaining exactly where the ingredients come from. The cafe serves a range of meals including pizza, pasta, salads, cheese platters and succulent curry dishes. I highly recommend the curry dishes and the freshly baked pumpkin bread. The cafe is a five minute drive from Tsurui Village off Route 53, and is open from 10:00 ~ 17:00 everyday except Thursdays.

A little while ago i began exploring the world. I started in Japan, and after 29 countries of amazing adventures, i find myself back in Japan fully absorbed in its culture, its people and its beauty.
