What is Liberty Walk Cafe?
Want to see it for yourself?
Liberty Walk Cafe (often styled “LB CAFE” or “JDM CAFE”) is the coffee-and-lifestyle extension of Liberty Walk—Japan’s globally recognized custom car brand behind widebody kits for everything from R35 GT‑R and A90 Supra to Aventador and Huracan. The cafe brings Liberty Walk’s garage‑to‑runway aesthetic into an accessible, family‑friendly space where you can sip espresso, browse official merchandise, and admire display cars and memorabilia.
Beyond coffee, LB CAFE functions as a brand hub: you’ll find current apparel drops, mini‑car collectibles, and occasional pop‑up activations. Core locations revolve around Liberty Walk’s Nagoya Headquarter facility, with seasonal or regional “JDM CAFE” pop‑ups (e.g., Sapporo) expanding the lifestyle experience.

Expect brand‑themed touches (stickers on cups, seasonal collabs) and a relaxed atmosphere where you can linger, watch short brand films, and plan your next car meet run. The space is deliberately photogenic—great for tasteful shots of your coffee with Liberty Walk iconography in frame.

How to get to Liberty Walk Cafe (Nagoya HQ)
Getting to Owariasahi from central Nagoya is straightforward and takes ~30–45 minutes by car in normal traffic, or ~40–60 minutes by public transport plus a short walk/taxi.
By car:
- From Nagoya Station: plan ~30–45 minutes via the Nagoya‑Seto Road / Tomei corridor depending on traffic. On‑site parking is typically available around HQ.
By train + short taxi/walk:
- Take a JR or private rail eastbound toward the Seto/Owariasahi area; from the nearest station, a ~5–10 minute taxi is the simplest last‑mile. This is also a good option if you’re continuing to other Nagoya‑area automotive spots afterward.
From Tokyo (day trip idea):
- Shinkansen (Nozomi/Hikari) to Nagoya (~1.5 hours), then local transit to Owariasahi (~40–60 minutes). Many visitors pair LB CAFE with Nagoya’s car culture stops (e.g., museum visits) before returning to Tokyo in the evening.
