富士屋 花筏 和菓子
Only had less than a day in Takayama so we concentrated on the historical district. Running around on the snowy day had us a bit pooped out as the sun began to set. The stylish tea-house had caught my eye on our way out from the train station, and it seemed like a good rest stop on our way back.
An old house stylishly converted into a tea-and-sweets shop with big picture windows featuring both blonde-wood modern as well as tatami-sitting traditional furnishings made locally. The counter at the door offers a fine selection of Japanese-style sweets which may also be ordered in the sit-down area. We had just enough time for a bit of fresh-brewed tea in traditional iron kettles and a cherry-chocolate wagashi sweet before our train to Nagoya.
