Folkcraft-themed Coffee Shop for Coffee Enthusiasts.

Description
Marumo originated as an inn for travelers in 1868. In 1956, this coffee shop was added. Designed by Sanshiro Ikeda, the father of Matsumoto's Folkcraft Furniture movement, the shop's interior is full of tables and other furniture made in this unique style of craftsmanship.
