Cafe • 1800番地 Murouōno, Uda, Nara 633-0315, Japan
Nestled quietly in the mountains of Uda City, Nara Prefecture, 'Christy in the Sky: Cafe & Luxe Spa' truly lives up to its name as a scenic cafe floating in the sky. The views, spanning the mountains surrounding Murouji Temple, soothe visitors' souls and create unforgettable memories.
The journey to the cafe is also part of the special experience. The long stairs known as 'Youthful Stairs' make you feel as if you're stepping away from the real world into a skyward realm.
The interior, renovated from a private home, exudes a rustic and welcoming ambiance. The Japanese-style space, where you remove your shoes, enhances the relaxing atmosphere. Large windows offer expansive views, allowing you to savor a sense of unity with nature.
The owner prepares dishes with care, featuring delicious and healthy meals made from fresh local ingredients. The colorful chicken curry and lunches using plenty of seasonal vegetables and wild plants are spectacular both in appearance and taste. For dessert, we recommend handmade cakes with seasonal fruits.
Conversations with the sociable and friendly owner are one of the cafe's attractions. You might receive valuable advice on local tourist spots and hidden gems.
Due to its popularity, especially if you wish to enjoy meals, reservations are recommended. However, without a reservation, you might still be lucky enough to enjoy a curry or cake set.
'Christy in the Sky' offers a special place delivering an experience beyond just a cafe. Combining scenic views, fine cuisine, and heartwarming hospitality, it's a hidden gem in Nara. Escaping from daily life and savoring luxurious moments in the sky are sure to create heartwarming memories.
