Next, we went around the block to The Monocle cafe'. I loved the design of the space, very impressed at the cosy classic space and rebuild it with character; in this case, easy with warm light to look like an old high school., and next one of a goods space cafe' service Aux Bacchanales that right Coffee and Cigarettes of french tradition, too smoke for the small space but a lot of friendships service.

— in Kamakura

"Go and get an end-of-day shave infront of Tokyo station" Just down to Amazing Kamakura "Go to the ancient capital Kamakura, just an hour train ride from Tokyo and sip some coffee at various cafe's" and so surf on. The capital of Tokyo back in the end of the 12th century. In love! everything delicious.
