What makes it special
A lounge designed for spending full days: stocked with manga, soft seating, and low pressure to leave. Operates under a usage plan structure (alcohol or soft-drink packages) rather than per-drink pricing. Caption notes it’s “the kind of place where time disappears” — less a coffee shop, more a quiet retreat inside an ANA Holiday Inn.
