2020.07.20

Hello, fellow travelers!
This is Saa-mama, writer for “Sarukuma.”
Today, I’m excited to introduce you to
“Friendy”, a delightful little spot located in Tsukure, Kikuyo Town, Kikuchi District, Kumamoto Prefecture.

Inside, the shop offers handmade goods on consignment, and for just
500 yen (one coin) per hour, you can relax and play to your heart’s content,
with complimentary drinks and homemade treats included!

They proudly sell unique products crafted by talented local artisans!

So many adorable items, from kids’ goods to grown-up favorites!

You’ll find a wonderful selection of cute cloth masks for both adults and children,
including cooling masks—perfect for Japan’s hot, humid summers!

For little ones, there’s a delightful selection of toys and picture books,

plus a ball pool, slide, and trampoline—

so many wonderful toys to enjoy!
Watching the children laugh and play with such joy
will warm your heart and put a smile on your face!
What Makes Friendy Special

The facility fee includes complimentary drinks and homemade treats—
an amazingly great deal for visitors!

Choose one of today’s snacks: pound cake, fluffy milk bread, or sweet potato ice cream loaded with real sweet potato!
Then pair it with one of today’s homemade jams: strawberry jam, carrot jam, or tomato jam!
For drinks, you can enjoy apple juice, coffee, tea, and more!

Facility fees per hour: 500 yen for adults, 350 yen for elementary school children, 200 yen for ages 1-5, and free for babies under 1!

homemade jams that are safe and delicious for both children and adults!

A baby bed is also available, making this a wonderful spot for families with infants too!
Private rentals are available starting from just one hour for groups of any size, but due to the current situation,
