Time Travel in Osaka! A Dreamy English Afternoon Tea Experience in a Historic 1912 Building 🫖

Unbelievable! Osaka hides a stunning English-style tea house! The giant teapot at the entrance immediately caught my eye, and upon closer inspection, I discovered it’s a century-old building constructed in 1912 during the Meiji era, brimming with vintage charm! The moment you step inside, it’s a total wow! The shelves and ceiling are packed with English-themed decorations—bone china cups and saucers, vintage tea sets, teddy bears—it feels like stepping into a magical curiosity shop. The first floor is a retail area offering a variety of English tea snacks, cakes, and tea leaves. Follow the wooden spiral staircase to the second floor, where the creaking sounds add to the nostalgic vibe. The window seats are absolutely stunning! Enjoying afternoon tea with a riverside view, savoring scones with clotted cream and jam, and sipping Earl Grey tea—it feels like time has stopped. Many ladies dressed in English Lolita-style outfits were there taking photos, fully immersed in the atmosphere! However, it’s incredibly popular! The queue often stretches outside, so make sure to arrive early if you want a prime spot. If you’re looking to experience the aristocratic English lifestyle and a journey through time, North Bank Retro (北浜レトロ) is a must-visit!
