Café & Shop

Café & Shop

The café and shop adjoining the Bernard Buffet Museum are nestled beside a 50-year old camphor tree that is considered the museum’s symbolic tree. In honor of its presence, the space was named “TREEHOUSE”.

TREEHOUSE is designed as a community space where people of all ages, from children to adults, can gather. The interior, crafted with a wooden motif, offers a calm and gentle atmosphere, while the large windows allow visitors to look out over the surrounding forest. Here, visitors can experience the beauty of nature in every season while enjoying tea time and shopping. TREEHOUSE is open to all visitors, even those who do not enter the Bernard Buffet Museum.
