Ginza Store Overview

Located within easy walking distance from Ginza and Shimbashi stations, "muse Ginza" is a sophisticated cafe & bar characterized by a marble counter and artistic rugs. It’s an ideal spot to unwind and enjoy a leisurely day away from city chaos. During the day, it transforms into a chic cafe where guests can savor their time in a calm atmosphere, perfectly blending into the elegant Ginza streets.

Also popular as a night cafe, muse offers a fitting ambiance for conversations with friends or romantic dates. Known for its delightful sweets and drinks, muse Ginza is certainly a charming cafe to enjoy a luxurious moment.

Tennoji Store Overview

The interior boasts real greenery, creating an atmosphere reminiscent of being in a jungle or forest. Round lights evocative of the sun and moon craft a surreal space that transcends time and seasons.

Focusing on mood rather than brightness, the ambient lighting designed around the roots of plants and under tables further enhances the atmosphere. Decorated in deep greens, wood tones, and soft oranges, the Tennoji space is visually and texturally warm, providing both comfort and deep relaxation. At muse Tennoji, you will not just enjoy a stylish setting, but also a sensory experience that addresses fundamental human comfort, promising a healing time for your body and mind.
