⑤Coffee shop Yamaga

喫茶2019

Matsumoto Yamaga FC was originally founded as Yamaga club by several regular customers of a coffee shop called Yamaga, that opened in 1965 in front of Matsumoto station. Yamaga is a combination of two words. Yama meaning the mountains in Japanese, added with a Japanese word yuuga, meaning elegant. Unfortunately, the coffee shop had to close its business in 1978 due to the redevelopment of the station. However, after 40 years, it reopened on February 25, 2017, and has become a community hub for fans and supporters, and to contribute to the development of sports culture.
