Japan: Well's Café

I came across something very interesting and unexpected today about 15 minutes walk away from where I’m staying – a British café.



It’s part of a garage just off the road which specialises in Minis and other British cars and it’s run by a couple who are in love with all things England. Unfortunately they don’t speak a word of the Queen’s.

The café itself is in this small wooden hut…

It’s quite surreal inside. Everything has a British theme, but there’s no consistency at all. For example, they had a wartime propaganda poster next to empty Tesco egg boxes from their 2011 visit to London.


I soon forgave them though when they gave me the best pot of tea I’ve tasted since leaving home over a month ago. I don’t know whether it’s because I’ve forgotten what good tea tastes like or what.
