While Ushimado is a prosperous port, there are many lovely spots in the yamasato area.
In the middle of nowhere, deep in the mountains, though only 15 minutes from Ushimado port, there is a café called Akatsuki café & Something, which includes a tree house located in a Japanese bead tree, the symbol tree of Akatsuki.


The actual café is located right next to the tree house. Mr. & Mrs. Suda, the owners, worked hard to renovate a traditional Japanese house, and the café was opened in 2012.
The interior of the café oozes with the couple’s good taste. There is also a shop with secondhand goods, containers, and plants among other products to enrich everyday life.


The concept of Akatsuki is a day trip… At Ushimado’s yamasato, you can feel in touch with nature and enjoy the changing of the seasons in a calm, relaxing way completely separated from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Each carefully hand-dripped cup of coffee is an Akatsuki original blend of Okayama city Toya-cho’s Musashino coffee.
The shop is usually open only on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. We recommend checking days when the shop is open in advance using their home page. (Days are scheduled to change during spring 2015.)
Deep in the mountains of Madouchi, you can spend a dream-like time almost as if you’d found your personal secret base.
If you visit with an adventurous spirit, you can enjoy a first-rate coffee time.
