    miffy cafe kamaishi

    With the cooperation of the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands and Dick Bruna Japan Co., Ltd., this is an original cafe in Kamaishi with the theme of Miffy, the main character in the rabbit picture books drawn by Dutch picture book author and graphic designer Dick Bruna. Although it is a character cafe that incorporates Miffy's worldview with its soothing colors and warm design, it is also a gathering place that is open to local people.
