On a rainy Sunday with unpredictable weather, I took my dog to Karuizawa for some fun. Since bad weather can make it tough, we decided to visit the Prince's mall, which felt like a safer choice this time. Surprisingly, the weather turned out to be nice, though a bit hot, and around 11 AM, we thought of having tea.
Actually, compared to Old Karuizawa, the Prince Shopping Plaza has lower dog-friendliness, with only three stores still allowing dogs inside. In the past, none of the restaurants permitted dogs, which naturally led us to visit less often. However, it seems the situation has changed a bit in the last two years, as rumors say that Starbucks and Prince Café now allow dogs on the terrace. Gratefully, we decided to use the terrace.
Upon seeing the "no smoking" sign at the terrace entrance, I felt relieved as we took our seats, but soon realized there was a faint smell of cigarette smoke. Looking closer, I noticed the person in the next seat was smoking. I thought about complaining, but then saw a large ashtray nearby. It seems the policy has shifted. Starbucks is smoke-free indoors, so it appears that dog owners and smokers are treated the same and share the terrace...
As smoke depends on the wind direction, it wasn’t too bothersome, and we settled in while my wife went to place the order. My dog and I stayed behind. Shortly after, a couple of other dog owners arrived, making it a valuable oasis for us.
Before long, my wife returned with my latte and a slightly chilled soufflé. The taste was standard Starbucks fare, but surprisingly, the soufflé was quite delicious. With my small hunger satisfied, we decided to explore some more.
<WanTa> The girl in the grassy area was really nice... and the soufflé at this place was also tasty. Thanks, Dad.
