44.I visited the local cafe "Kake Cafe".

　Based on the concept of "a community cafe where children and adults can gently connect and create a warm relationship," I visited the "Kake Cafe", which opened in April in the Shimoizumi area.
　It is operated by Kakehashi, a general incorporated association, and a parent's association with a school refusal child who is working in the ward 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 renovated as a cafe by renovating the garden, repainting the floor, repainting the walls, etc. by various people, such as children and local companies who go to the kakehashi. . The children illuminated 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 locals, and it was a shop with an atmosphere that seemed to create a "warm relationship" according to the concept. It is said that the ingredients provided at lunch will also be vegetables from locals. It is an eco-friendly cafe with local production for local consumption.
　Although it is a little far from the station, I felt that it would be nice to be loved by the local people and that it would be a comfortable place for everyone.
　Next time, I would like to visit for lunch with lots of Izumi Ward vegetables.

　Garden decorations are also handmade by local people.
　After enjoying the gateball, you had a relaxing time with your friends.
