Redesigned by Suppose Design Office last year in 2023, the cozy space is a dramatic improvement that adds additional space for plants and trees by creating large, elevated platforms. The resulting space is immersive and participatory, inviting visitors in to escape from the hustle and bustle of Shibuya.
Visitors are greeted by the 1st floor garden where citrus fruits like satsuma mandarin oranges, yuzu, lemons, and finger limes are grown. But you’ll also—hopefully, not literally—stumbleupon tropical fruit trees like mango, passion fruit, guava, coconut palm, banana, and pineapple.
Climb the stairs to the 2nd floor where you’ll find a small library and cafe that overlooks the garden. The cafe serves coffee and small bites during the day. In the evening they serve beer, wine and cocktails that incorporate botanicals and herbs grown on-site. And if you plan your visit wisely, you might find a film screening or event taking place in the 3rd floor gallery space.

I love your "Mom thing" conversation. So many times when I've gone on trips or the weather was bad, coworkers or friend's moms would say "well you let me know when you arrive," and it's such a mom thing to worry about people who aren't your kids. I think it makes us young people feel like someone else cares about us!
Love your portrait, Jacki. It's a real masterpiece.
In your last smile educator Teresa Engler speaks from my heart. Isn't that also a "Mom thing"? We care not only about our kids but all the people we got to know better.
Wonderful post, Jacki. Thanks!
Thanks, Sa,! I know you have a lot of people who care for and about you, me too!
Thanks, Elenor. It is one of my favorites,
