The Exquisite Fusion of Ine’s Sea and Coffee! The Hidden Café ‘hakuzu coffee stand’

A Special Moment Enjoying Authentic Coffee Crafted by Kyoto’s Roasting Techniques While Overlooking the Boathouses

For coffee enthusiasts, the pursuit of coffee’s essence transcends mere preference, leading to an exploration of culture and history. My own initiative, “CoffeeRobot,” was born from the pursuit of a blend between traditional Kyoto café culture, innovative third-wave coffee, and technology. This style has gained the support of many coffee lovers. In this blog, I am excited to introduce a special hidden café located in Ine, “hakuzu coffee stand,” which promises truly memorable moments.

A Café Enjoying Ine’s Elegant Scenery

“hakuzu coffee stand” is situated just a five-minute walk from the center of Ine, boasting breathtaking views that overlook the beautiful sea. Surrounded by traditional boathouses, the scenery is nothing short of a painting, captivating the heart with its simplicity and charm that can make you lose track of time.

The owner is incredibly friendly, providing warm moments for visitors. Reviews frequently highlight the kindness of the owner, creating a welcoming atmosphere. The leisurely time spent in this location is indeed the epitome of luxury.

Carefully Crafted Coffee through In-House Roasting

What sets this café apart is the authentic coffee created using roasting techniques honed in Kyoto’s Nishijin district. Guests can savor original blends that reflect the climate of Ine, as well as meticulously selected specialty coffees. Each cup is hand-dripped with great care, offering deep aromas and a clean aftertaste. This embodies the “essence of coffee” that I aspire to achieve.

When visiting, be sure to fully enjoy the rich flavors of the coffee while harmonizing them with the stunning surrounding views. Particularly, sipping coffee near the boathouses provides a luxurious experience that allows you to forget the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

A Unique Coffee Experience by the Boathouses

One of the charms of “hakuzu coffee stand” lies in its coffee-drinking locale. Not only can you enjoy coffee inside the café, but it is also possible to bring your drink across to the boathouse facing the café. Relishing your coffee while listening to the sound of the waves and gazing at the sea is an unforgettable experience that will create lasting memories.

Additionally, visitors can make use of the sea taxi service, adding another layer of special experience. The taxi driver is also very kind, making your conversations along the way memorable. I highly recommend utilizing this as a means to enjoy the serene sea.

Excellent Access! Enjoy Alongside Sightseeing

Access to “hakuzu coffee stand” is extremely convenient. It is only about a four-minute walk from the “Ine” stop on the Tango Sea and Land Transportation bus. It is perfectly located for a stop during sightseeing. Being just a 30-40 minute drive from the picturesque Amanohashidate, it would be delightful to take a moment to pause for coffee while soaking in Ine’s beautiful scenery.

This location maintains a quiet atmosphere, allowing you to enjoy pleasant moments away from the bustling tourist spots. The ability to immerse yourself in the beauty of nature while enjoying coffee is a unique privilege that this café offers.

A Small Break with Matcha Lattes and Baked Donuts

At “hakuzu coffee stand,” you can also savor high-quality matcha lattes and baked donuts alongside coffee. The matcha is carefully whisked right before your eyes, offering an exceptional flavor. In particular, the matcha latte provides a rich experience, distinct from coffee’s sweetness. The baked donuts, enjoyed alongside, create a perfect balance of sweetness and bitterness.

During my visit, I also purchased some locally sourced blueberries to enjoy while driving around. The food and drink menu utilizing local ingredients will certainly deepen your travel memories.


“hakuzu coffee stand” is a unique café offering beautiful views of Ine, carefully crafted coffee, and warm service. Why not take a moment to unwind in this place that blends traditional Kyoto café culture with the natural beauty of Ine? I hope your coffee experience becomes even more enriching here.
