The Takasaki Open-air Cafe Guide is a showcase of restaurants and cafes in downtown Takasaki with outdoor seating. Some of these establishments have longstanding terrace seating areas with their own character and atmosphere, while others feature brand new tables and chairs provided by the Takasaki Open-air Cafe Promotion Council for this showcase project. The Promotion Council runs the Open-air Cafe project every year in downtown Takasaki to create and promote outdoor spaces for meals, snacks, and just hanging out. The project is called Taka Cafe in Japanese.
