Welcome to 古民家カフェ「Cafe Genten」, a charming gem nestled in the serene surroundings of Tamba, Hyogo. Here, the essence of traditional Japanese architecture meets the soothing atmosphere of a cafe, making it a perfect escape for anyone looking to appreciate the beauty of rustic Japan. As soon as you step inside, you'll be greeted by the warm embrace of aged wooden beams, sliding shoji doors, and a decor that feels straight out of a Studio Ghibli film.

Cafe Genten is not just another cafe; it’s a sanctuary where food, ambiance, and adorable companions converge. With a delightful menu that caters to every palate, you can indulge in popular dishes like オムライス (Omelette Rice) and タコライス (Taco Rice), each plate presented with artistry and care.

店の雰囲気はとても歴史を感じます。ごはんの量が少なめで少食の人にはピッタリです。ジブリ系の癒し古民家カフェで休日をシッカリ満喫出来、大福という2匹のわんぱく猫で癒されます

Quaint and a lively atmosphere. Cats adamant to be by your side and provide luxury comfort! The food was equally as amazing - I took the liberty of creating my signature "food art" A sumo squid! Thank you for a wonderful memory for my first time in Japan. Until next time

What a lovely place. Great old worldly japan vibe here in this cafe in an old Japanese house. Quite a varied menu of which I chose Tacorice…which was delicious! Staff were all really kind and helpful and although the place was very busy and crowded, it didn’t feel cramped. Customer throughput was quite fast and food came out quickly too, but it didn’t feel too rushed. Reasonable prices and plenty of parking. A great place to come and eat and escape the busy city!

予約の際に席の希望を伝えていたものの、全然把握されていない様子だったので、予約の管理は他の人の口コミにあるように曖昧な部分があるのかなと思います。 店員さんに関しては接客がゆるい感じはしますが、個人的には一部の方が書かれているほど悪い印象はありません。 ご飯に関しては特に問題なくいただきました。

美味しいうえに接客、雰囲気もよく暑い夏でも楽しめた! 猫部屋以外はクーラー無しの扇風機のみですが、外で水撒きを常時してあるので温度も下がっていたと思います。 他の人のクチコミを参考にするとスムーズに店に辿り着きました(感謝) パスタも麺がもっちもち!レモンクリームのソースも美味しくて完食出来たので、スタッフや混雑状況によって味の差が出るのかも知れません。 トイレは男女兼用で離れ?にありました。
