Enjoy Blissful Moments at Nara's Tranquil Spot 'Mountain Café'

Scenic Café Overlooking Wakakusa Mountain

Nestled at the foot of Nara's famous Wakakusa Mountain, Mountain Café is a hidden gem where you can enjoy both great food and breathtaking views. Located in the historic Zoshicho district, its terrace offers a stunning panorama of the grand Wakakusa Mountain. This café perfectly embodies the charm of Nara where history and nature harmonize.

Exquisite Cuisine and Relaxing Atmosphere

The charm of Mountain Café lies in its cuisine. Pizzas and pastas made with local ingredients are of a quality that will make you forget you're at a tourist café. Particularly recommended is the 'Baguette Pizza.' This dish features a large baguette cut in half, the top half becoming garlic toast while the bottom half is generously topped with cheese and other toppings—a truly hearty meal.

The interior is tranquil and perfect for a relaxing time. Terrace seating is popular, so reservations are recommended. It’s also a pet-friendly spot, so you can enjoy your time with your furry friend.

Perfect for a Break During a Nara Stroll

It’s an ideal spot for a rest after a walk around Wakakusa Mountain or a playful time with the deer in Nara Park. The lunch set includes an appetizer, salad, soup, main dish, and drink and is quite filling. You can also enjoy unlimited coffee refills while taking in the scenery at your leisure.

Don’t Forget the Souvenirs

Next to the café is a souvenir corner offering unique items like the 'Kasuga Deer Manju,' representative of Nara, and 'Koto Hana Cider' made from local strawberries. Remember to take home some delicious souvenirs along with your memories of Nara.

Mountain Café is an excellent pit stop during your Nara sightseeing. Enjoying delicious food and breathtaking views, you can fully savor the charm of ancient Nara. Be sure to visit when you come to Nara.
