Gargas
At the cocoon-shaped café where time is measured, enjoy an artistic coffee moment.
Opening the door to the "silk cocoon storehouse," once used for storing silk cocoons, reveals a rich aroma of spices and coffee. The charm of the cafe and gallery "Gargas" lies in its tranquil Japanese-style space, created by the thick beams and plaster walls characteristic of old storehouses. After filling your stomach with the owner's recommended chicken curry, simmered until it falls apart, head to the adjoining gallery.Handcrafted works—woodwork, pottery, glass—imbued with the artists' passion line the space, offering new discoveries with each exhibition. Whether seeking quiet solitude or cherished conversation, you'll find moments that soothe the soul.
