今からさかのぼること約400年、江戸時代。

川越街道のこの一帯は大井宿という宿場町で、

ここは”本陣”と呼ばれ、いろいろな方が休憩・宿泊する場所でした。

​

徳川家康に呼ばれた川越喜多院の住職天海上人は当家で休憩して江戸城を目指し、また川越藩主一行はここで身なりを整えて登城しました。伊能忠敬は、英気を養って全国行脚に向かいました。

​

そして、21世紀の今、そのような歴史あるこの場所に、人々が集い、憩いの場所となるカフェをオープンします。

Dating back about 400 years from now, during the Edo period, this area along Kawagoe-Kaido was a lodging town called Ohi-Shuku

This place was called "Honjin" (an inn officially designated as a lodging for a daimyo in the Edo period. The direct translation is “troop headquarters”), and various people took a rest and stayed in. 

Saint Tenkai, the chief priest of Kawagoe Kitain Temple, rested at this place and headed toward Edo Caste for the meeting invited by Shogun Tokugawa. Lord of Kawagoe and his party rested here and went on to the Castle. Mr. Tadataka Ino, known for completing the first map of Japan using modern surveying techniques, restored his energy here and headed for the nationwide traveling on foot.

​

And now in the 21st century, in this historic place, we open a café where people gather and relax.
