Lumière is a charming, mountain lodge-style cafe located a short detour from Tokamachi Station on the way to the museum. Known for its delicious cakes, especially the recommended Chiboust Pomme, a sophisticated treat with a caramelized coating, it's a great place to stop for a sweet break. Be aware that drinks can be a bit pricey compared to the cakes, so consider buying a cake to enjoy elsewhere if you're on a budget. Open all day, Lumière offers a casual setting to relax indoors.
