Cafe Introduction

Hello there!
This is Gussan, your SaruKuma writer (^o^)

Today I’m introducing a wonderful cafe
located in Kawakage, Minamiaso Village, Aso District
【Nohohon Cafe Bois Joli】.

This is a charming cafe I had been longing to visit,
and now I want to return again and again.
Let me share this dreamy spot with you ☆
As you follow your GPS, a charming sign welcomes you first.
Closing days vary by season,
so I highly recommend checking ahead before your visit.
There’s a gravel parking lot beside the shop with space for about 6 cars.
Where’s Arrietty hiding?

The Studio Ghibli vibes are so strong
you’ll find yourself searching for “The Borrower Arrietty” ♡

A lovely garden unfolds before you, inviting endless gazing.
The cafe is barrier-free, so
wheelchairs and strollers are welcome!
And as long as they’re on a leash, your furry friends
can join you inside too.
Step inside and…
oh my, it’s absolutely adorable!
Everything’s coordinated in pure white.
Even the petite chandelier lifts your spirits ↑

These counter seats overlooking the garden
are absolutely wonderful too!
A lunch enjoyed in such a stylish, clean space must taste amazing.
The interior decor is so charming
you can’t help but look around in every direction.

These little touches are simply perfect!
A paradise for anyone who loves charming little knick-knacks ♡

This time I ordered
the Picnic Lunch — 1,350 yen
A plate piled high with gently seasoned vegetables.
What a treat! The quiche was amazing too!
And
the Bois Joli-style Takana-meshi — 1,350 yen
This takana-meshi (rice with pickled mustard greens) was so delicious ♡
They kindly brought apple juice for my child.

And here’s the iced coffee I ordered with my set.

Every corner of Bois Joli is overflowing with photo-worthy spots
and a gentle, soothing atmosphere.
Many women are sure to fall in love with this vibe!
However, even though we arrived early, by the time we left,
people were already waiting in the parking lot,
so making a reservation is definitely recommended.

Come and enjoy a truly nohohon (laid-back, peaceful)
time here ♪
