An Exclusive Café Experience in Nagoya
Ever wanted to experience a cozy Japanese café but didn’t know where to start? Here’s your chance! Small World co-organizer and café connoisseur Keigo is taking a small group of lucky participants to one of his all-time favorite spots in Nagoya.
Keigo isn’t just any café enthusiast—he’s visited over 50 cafés in the city and knows all the best hidden gems. Plus, he’s got a knack for capturing the perfect aesthetic shot, so if you’re looking to level up your Instagram game, you’re in good hands.
This isn’t just about sipping coffee—it’s an intimate gathering where you can meet fellow café lovers, make international friends, and enjoy a laid-back Sunday afternoon in a place that oozes retro charm.

This Month’s Café: Bon Bon
This time, the group is heading to Café Bon Bon, a Nagoya institution that’s been serving up Showa nostalgia and delicious cakes since 1949. With its charming Showa-era interior and old-school ambiance, stepping into Bon Bon feels like traveling back in time—an era when Seiko Matsuda’s hits were playing everywhere and life moved at a slower pace.
Bon Bon is famous for its handcrafted cakes, prepared with high-quality ingredients and a dedication to tradition. They’re a true taste of Japan’s pure café culture, untouched by modern trends and overflowing with character.

Limited to Just 5 Participants!
Because they’re visiting a small local café, space is limited. Be sure to register in advance to secure your spot! If you need to cancel, please contact @smallworld_insta on Instagram or email support@smallworldjpn.com so they can give your seat to someone else.
