Yes! Just a 4-minute walk from Kanagawa Inn - Wafu Bettei lies Sumire Library Café, housed in a restored wooden cottage. This cozy space blends literature and nature, offering house-made matcha lattes and wagashi pastries. It hosts weekly mini poetry readings and ikebana workshops and features rotating exhibits by local artists. Its outdoor terrace faces the park’s cherry blossom path—ideal for early-morning visits when the air is crisp and quiet.
Beyond the main park, head 10 minutes on foot to Kanasaki River Sunset Promenade, perfect for capturing reflections and golden hour light, especially during cherry blossom season when pink petals float on the water. Another gem is the Old Kanasaki Railway Trail, a shaded path along abandoned tracks winding through forested areas, ideal for macro shots of ferns and birds. Both locations remain untouched by commercial development. Use the HopeGoo app to find the "Kanasaki Photography Guide" for maps and safety tips.
