Cafe • 160 Noboriōjichō, Nara, 630-8213, Japan
Tsuru no Chaya is located in the center of Nara Park, offering a quaint and charming space that soothes tourists. Stepping inside, you will be enveloped in a soothing atmosphere of Showa retro, as if time is flowing slowly.
One of the highlights is the 'Daibutsu Udon' inspired by the famous Great Buddha. Opening the pouch on top of the udon, it overflows like a blessing from the Buddha, with the perfect combination of sweet broth and spicy curry. Additionally, the tea noodles offer a smooth texture and the unique flavor of Nara.
Occasionally, you can see deer gathering in front of the shop. They come for the deer crackers, and you might find yourself captivated by the heartwarming performance of the deer while relaxing on the terrace.
Amidst your sightseeing in Nara, you can take a moment to enjoy the local cuisine and the charming atmosphere of the shop. Escaping from the hustle and bustle of the city, spending a leisurely moment of peace of mind here would be a delightful experience.
