On the hillside of Mount Hakodate in northern Japan, Café Donna Donna is fabled for its dazzling views of Hakodate port. But that’s not all. Like the charming Tokyo café Funiculi Funicula, Café Donna Donna offers its customers the extraordinary experience of travelling through time and Nagare and Kazu are back to guide four new customers.
There are rules to follow: you can only meet people who have visited the café, you must stay seated in your chair and most importantly, you must return to the present before the coffee gets cold.
