A Café Worth Visiting on a Leisurely Drive
Cafe nuis is located in the Shirobe area on the eastern side of Miyakojima Island
Here’s what it looks like on a map
It’s in the center of the former Shirobe Town, but the surrounding area is a rural region consisting mainly of pasture and sugarcane fields
It takes about 20 minutes to get there from the downtown area of Miyakojima City (Nishizato Street).
The distance is about 13 kilometers
The reason you can cover 13 kilometers in about 20 minutes is that once you leave the city center, there are almost no traffic lights on the way to Shirobe.
You can enjoy a leisurely drive there.
I recommend going in the morning!
Personally, I think the best time to visit the café here is in the morning
If you’ve come all this way on a trip, you’ll want to enjoy yourself from early morning until late at night, right?
Believe it or not, Cafe nuis opens as early as 7:30 a.m. (ﾟДﾟ;)
I always thought cafes opened pretty casually around mid-morning, but
but this one is open from early in the morning.
I went to check it out myself, wondering if it was really true,
and it was open!
I guess it’s only natural since it’s during business hours…
By the way, the parking lot is very spacious, so you shouldn’t have any trouble finding a spot.
I also took a picture of the sign.
The combination of the countryside, the ocean, and the café is so cute, isn’t it?
Let’s go! Inside the café
Since I arrived right when they opened, I was the only one inside.
Once inside, it gave me more of a Scandinavian vibe than a resort feel.
It has a relaxing atmosphere♪
Morning coffee is a steal at just 200 yen.
I ordered the morning set, which comes with coffee for just 550 yen!
The bread is delicious, but the salad is also tasty—seasoned just right with the perfect amount of salt.
(I forgot to take a photo, so I borrowed this image from nuis’s website.)
With a ranch stretching out beyond the window, the view was very relaxing
It’s a great location, different from the beach.
What really surprised me was that this café
was apparently used as a location for Ayumi Ishida of Morning Musume’s photo shoot
(This is also taken from nuis’s website.)
When you think of Okinawa in a photo book, you usually picture the ocean, but the greenery and the café’s atmosphere here are really nice.
The fact that she even featured it on her Instagram really shows what a kind person Ayumi Ishida is (^^)
When visiting Higashi-Hennazaki or Yoshino Coast,
I think it’s most efficient to stop by Cafe nuis when sightseeing on the eastern side of Miyako Island
The main attractions are listed below:
- Higashi-Heianazaki
- Yoshino Coast
- Shinjo Coast
- Horaizumi Beach
- Kaibokan
- Imgya Marine Garden
It’s best to visit these places in this order!
That’s because there are almost no stores in this area
And there aren’t even any convenience stores
My recommendation is to watch the sunrise at Higashi-Heianazaki → then have breakfast—I thought that was the best way to start the day
Unexpected items are popular
This is a café, but something completely unexpected is popular here
Right as you walk in, you’ll see this
S-soap?! ( ﾟДﾟ)
I wondered why there was soap in a café, but it seems to be a Cafe nuis original product
What surprised me even more is that Arata Tomori, a dermatologist from Miyako Island, actually recommends it!
She was the runner-up in the Miss Japan pageant, so I’m sure some of you have seen her on TV.
I bought one myself, and it lathers up really well and leaves my skin feeling soft and moisturized after washing
It seems to use a lot of ingredients sourced from Miyako Island, which is another plus—it gives me peace of mind.
This is one of the cafes I recommend when visiting Miyako Island.
I hope this article helps make someone’s day a little brighter! ♪
