WAKKA Cafe suits riders who want lunch facing the Tatara Bridge without leaving the bike outside, and its trade-off is shorter winter hours with irregular closures.
What to order
- Coffee
- Local shrimp tomato curry, while it lasts
WAKKA's cafe sits on the Kamiura shore a short ride north-west of Tatara Shimanami Park, looking across the water to the Tatara Bridge. You can wheel your bike right up to your seat. The tourism association singles out the coffee, which a leading Japanese barista designed, and a tomato curry made with local shrimp that sells in limited numbers. On weekends the kitchen adds wakka-meshi, its take on Imabari's yakibuta tamago meshi of roast pork and fried egg over rice.
The same site runs a hotel and a cycling support desk with bike taxis and same-day luggage delivery. Shimanami Japan's English guide adds that WAKKA offers showers and laundry to anyone passing through.
Worth knowing
- WAKKA posts each month's cafe opening days on its news page, which matters most in winter.
