The Crystal Inn

Delightful Café with a little spice above and below

Chaeri, owner of the Crystal Inn with her spread of pastries.

It’s a Friday afternoon and you’ve just finished your shift, what more perfect place could you be in afterwards but a comfortable café in the heart of Shirogane Ward?

The Crystal Inn features a ground floor café that serves hot and cold beverages alongside some light bites and delectable desserts. Below is the nightclub portion which opens a couple of hours after café closing and finally on the top floor is a secluded bathing area to top off your relaxation triad! You’ll be hard pressed to find a better start to your weekend with this one-stop shop of fun.

Chaeri kindly agreed to take a few seconds from her busy day to strike a pose for me!

Upon entering you’re greeted by a cheery and adorable maid, the owner and head waitress herself, Chaeri. I chose to take my seat in one of the basket recliners at the front to get within good earshot of the café bard.

Delightful tunes from a delightful maid.

The café area is beautifully floored with a smooth wooden planks and has generously spaced seating with various table sizes for all manner of groups. I saw quite the variety of patrons during my stay here and it appears the clientele are friendly enough I even got into a lovely conversation with one! After ordering my signature matcha tea, and convinced by the lovely Chaeri to sample the apple pie, I took in the surroundings and took a few candid snaps of the area.

After a long week, there’s nothing better than catching up with friends…

A very unique service the café offers turned up shortly after I arrived: a fortune teller! The venue has a dedicated room where this mysterious woman works her magic. A very professional and in depth reading using constellation cards followed and I even asked a few of my own questions…though what I asked will remain in that room.

An imposing figure but surprisingly calming presence…

The dedicated astrology room is a sight to behold!

The club downstairs is a fully fleshed out nightclub with plenty of dancing space and plush sofas to reset on. A more private, elevated VIP area perches above the fully staffed and stocked bar.

Unfortunately as there is a two hour break between club opening and café closing time I wasn’t able to grab the action in full swing, Chaeri however was warming up for the night so I took the opportunity to join in wtih some quick cardio with her!
