Great spot right by Nara deer park. Perfect for lunch after seeing the deer. The food is really good. Drinks are fun, we got the crafted strawberry soda. Prices are a bit high, but the food is worth it. God location and very friendly staff.

Visited this place after feeding the deer. Wheelchair and kids friendly. There is a toilet inside the store but with no heater inside. Free flow of water and free wifi.

Very good spot for ice cream in Nara, where the deer can't steal the food. Ice cream tastes good, service is good, price a little high, but it's a tourist spot, so it's also expected. Recommended.
