Secret Nice Spot of Kagoshima City
My wife likes to discover nice small cafe hidden in rural areas. Thanks to her, I have visited many various cafe which I would never have been to if I had not married my wife.
This time, she took me to a cafe “Third Stone” in the mountain of Kiire Town of Kagoshima City. I found the cafe was very nice and want to introduce the secret place to you.
Long Drive in Forests
We headed for south from Kagoshima City. We went through Hirakawa Town and turned left at Green Farm before driving a long mountainous road.
It was middle of October and the green mountains and crystal blue sky were making a beautiful contrast.
We were getting worried because it takes much longer time than we expected. But we finally arrived at the cafe “Third Stone”. We were very glad when we sighted the signboard of the cafe.
The cafe is relatively small and can accomodate only a few couples. As soon as we entered the care, it is filled to capacity.
It is wise to call and book before you come to the cafe.
Relaxing Atmosphere
This is the entrance of the cafe. I wish if we could live in such expansive house deep in mountain…
You can feel relaxed as if you are at your own house. Very kind couple runs the pleasant cafe.
Listening to relaxing music, we totally forgot the hustle and bustle of busy city life!
We both are totally relaxed and in a daze. 🙂
This is Japanese style of relaxation. Stretching your legs on the floor.
Great View of Sakurajima and Kagoshima Bay!
You can have a spectacle view in front of the cafe “third stone”. Please have a look at following picture!
You can relaxing yourself while viewing Sakurajima in a distance. We had lunch inside the house, but other guest were enjoying meals at outside. The place must be the most popular place among customers…!
Lunch of Third Stone
You can choose one out of 5 kinds of quiche lunch. All choice looks delicious! It is very difficult choose!!!
I choose the lunch of the quiche of roasted meats and mashed potatoes with the dessert and drink. I cannot believe that it is only 1,280 yen! Too cheap!
We ordered glasses of cafe latte.
Desserts are very cute! We both like eating sweets, so felt very happy!
Let’s have close look at each dessert！
Caramel pudding is the most favorite sweet for my wife. It is not too sweet but a little bitter.
Chestnuts cake make you feel the coming of autumn season. The content of dessert differs according to each season. We will definitely make another visit at a different season!
Cute maple leave was put on three figs. The figs are so soft and have nice texture in your mouth.
We really loved the taste of the coffee latte.
The deep flavor of coffee spreads in your mouth but is easy to drink. The coffee fresh up your mind and body!
At first, we seriously discussed whether we should have a coffee maker at our house (But we gave up the thought due to poor economical situation). 🙂
Total amount of food is relatively small for an adult man. But the amount was good for us because we had breakfast at late time on that day!
Relaxing Time after Lunch
We enjoyed a great view from the cafe after having delicious food. Oh…Relly…Relaxing…! We had a really peaceful time at the garden.
We will definitely come to the cafe again when we drive from Kagoshima City to Ibusuki city!
After having a wonderful lunch, we headed for Ibusuki City.
On our way to Ibusuki, the beautiful view of Kiire Oil Base suddenly appeared in front of our car.
We prayed for an easy birth of our baby at Ibusuki Shrine (See article).
