Seeking Crowdfunding Support!
meets (Takarazuka City, Hyogo Prefecture / Representatives: Kaori Nakamura, Yuka Nagai) will open a parent-child cafe called "meets" on Tuesday, June 30, 2026, in a renovated traditional house a five-minute walk from Hankyu Kiyoshikojin Station.
The project is currently conducting a crowdfunding campaign and has surpassed 1.35 million yen in total support from 146 backers as of June 9, 2026, receiving significant encouragement from local residents and parenting households.
Background of the Initiative
When raising children, finding a place to eat out comfortably with kids is difficult. As mothers ourselves, we felt the need for a space where parents could relax. In a survey of 151 parenting households in Takarazuka City:
- 96.6% reported difficulties dining out with children.
- 81.2% felt there are few restaurants where one can spend time comfortably with children.
"I want a place where I can take a breath even with my children."
Driven by this desire, we renovated a traditional house to establish the parent-child cafe "meets." The name "meets" embodies both "encounters" with people, thoughts, and time, and the Japanese word "mitsu" (to fill/fulfill).
Aiming to be a "Cafe Grown by the Community"
"meets" has been prepared with the support of local people even before opening. The crowdfunding campaign continues, and local residents have participated in DIY and garden-making events, treating it as a place to be "grown together."
