Miyajima Ichiwa

Niwa Cafe is a pleasant oasis from the crowds of people that throng Miyajima’s Omotesando shopping street. Accessed from the parallel, but generally quiet, Machiya Street, a narrow pathway beyond a small gate, takes you past a welcoming tanuki statue to the lovely garden for which the cafe is named.

The cafe is in a renovated section of a townhouse, owned and run by a family that has been on Miyajima for a long time, and it has a homelike feel. The tables inside offer a lovely view of the garden, and there are also tables on a garden patio outside.

Niwa cafe is open for lunch and dinner, but currently, their vegan meal option is limited to evenings. Their vegan curry and rice dish can be combined with simple sides, and their good selection of craft beers, which are usually all vegan-friendly, giving you plenty to enjoy while sitting out on the garden terrace on a nice evening.
