A Cafe that is an Old Japanese Style House in Tokyo - ENGAWA CAFE 縁側カフェ・昭和の家

I am fond of having a relaxing time in a cafe that is a converted old Japanese style house.
It has a nice retro atmosphere inside and you can view its Japanese garden.
This type of house is getting rarer and rarer these days.
