Saryo Tenjo Sajiki (Kamenoi Bessou) 茶房 天井棧敷

Atmospheric attic cafe at the venerable Kamenoi Bessou inn by Lake Kinrin, set in a relocated late-Edo sake brewery. Coffee by day, Bar Yamaneko by night.

About

Upstairs in Kagiya, the shop building of Kamenoi Bessou (one of Yufuin's most storied inns), Tenjo Sajiki occupies the loft of a sake brewery building moved here from elsewhere and rebuilt with its massive smoke-darkened beams. Classical music plays, light filters through small windows, and the menu runs to carefully brewed coffee, cheesecake and 'mont blanc'. After dark the same space becomes Bar Yamaneko. It's a perfect escape from Yunotsubo crowds, five minutes from Lake Kinrin, and a way to experience the Kamenoi Bessou aesthetic without staying overnight.

Highlights

• Loft of a relocated late-Edo sake brewery
• Massive old beams and classical music
• Coffee and homemade cakes
• Becomes Bar Yamaneko at night

Tips

• Come early morning after seeing the Lake Kinrin mist
• Seating is limited: avoid weekend mid-afternoon
• The Kagiya shop below sells the inn's own preserves and crafts
• Evening bar hours differ: ask at the shop
