44.I visited the local cafe "Kake Cafe"

　Based on the concept of "a local cafe where children and adults can connect slowly and create a warm relationship", I visited the "Kake Cafe" opened in April in the Shimoizumi area.
　It is operated by Happiness, a parent association with a general incorporated association Kakehashi and a school refusal child, who is working in the city to create a place for children who cannot go to school even if they want to go to school.
　A 55-year-old vacant house has been refurbished as a cafe by renovating the garden, replacing the floor, and repainting the wall with the hands of various people, such as children and local companies who go to the bridge. . The children shined their eyes on professional skills and felt the joy of creating them with their own hands. It's really a cafe full of handmade feeling. The flowerbed in the garden was decorated with flowers planted by the local people, and it was a shop with an atmosphere that was likely to create a "warm relationship" according to the concept. It is said that the ingredients provided at lunch also use vegetables from locals. It is an eco-friendly cafe in locally grown and consumed.
　Although it is a little far from the station, I felt that it would be loved by the local people and that everyone would be a cozy place.
　Next, I would like to visit a lunch with lots of vegetables from Izumi Ward.

　The garden decorations are also handmade by local people.
　After enjoying the gateball, you were spending a relaxing time with your friends.
