Scenic spot
Yubatake is a central attraction in Kusatsu Onsen, Japan, featuring a man-made pool of geothermal water surrounded by bath houses and traditional inns. This hot water field was created to cool down the piping hot spring water and collect the minerals from it. The site consists of seven wooden slides that help cool the hot spring water, which wells out at a rate of 4,000 liters per minute. Yubatake is also known for its enchanting nighttime illumination.
This is Kusatsu’s famous natural hot spring source area that’s been developed for viewing. The area has a strong boiled egg smell from the sulfur. While impressive during the day, this place truly comes alive and looks much more beautiful at night when the lighting creates a more dramatic atmosphere.

It is a beautiful place. The view is awesome at night. It feels so nice to drink in from of this place. You can see a lot of stores here. And there is convenience store too. It is the most beautiful onsen place that I have ever seen in Japan

PSA: IT SMELLS LIKE ROTTEN EGGS But the view is as beautiful as the pictures make it to be. In fact, I'd say pictures don't do it justice as to how beautiful and lovely the atmosphere actually is. Please go visit, it's just large enough.. not too big where you feel like you can't explore the whole area. Also not too small where you get bored after 30 minutes to an hour.

Kusatsu Onsen is one of the most atmospheric onsen towns we have visited. The highlight was the Yubatake (hot water field) in the town centre. Seeing the steam rise at night was beautiful and calming. The walk along the nearby shopping street was enjoyable, with many small shops and snacks to explore at a relaxed pace. The whole area felt safe, clean and easy to navigate. A wonderful place to unwind and enjoy the onsen town ambience. Highly recommended for both first-time and returning visitors.

This is an enchanting town full of public hot baths (onsens). There are also a lot of public foot baths. It is a place to stroll with your own Yukata (traditional wear) entering into different hot baths. Don't miss an evening walk around town and the center as it is illuminated beautifully

Very big landmark of this onsen city where surrounded by shops, restaurants, temple and hotels. Also have some spots to do the foot spa (onsen). We can smell the onsen water mineral. Really impressed

This location is one of the attractions of Japanese hot springs (onsen). It is not far from Osaka. It is very unique. You can enjoy a complimentary foot spa or public hot springs during your visit.

An amazing place to visit! The color of the water and the sulfur collection process are fascinating to see. Around the area, you’ll find many hand baths and foot baths, along with plenty of shops and food stands. A great spot to explore and relax.

Mount Kusatsu-Shirane, an active stratovolcano with three crater lakes, is no longer accessible to the public. While a day trip to Karuizawa from Tokyo is possible, it's recommended to stay overnight in Kusatsu at one of its hot spring guesthouses. This allows visitors to fully experience the area and nearby attractions such as Mount Asama and the unique Onioshidashi Volcanic Park.
great place, excellent view, curvy road like S. Germany. Many tourists, some are speeding, souvenir shops are over-priced, food portions are small but indeed one of my favorite places.

Just found out that there is Mount Kusatsu, I always go to the hot springs. Today we arrived at Mount Kusatsu. It's a shame because it's foggy and the weather isn't good, you can't see the sulfur, the road is being repaired, and the parking lot is closed, a little below there is a place to park, there are wild blueberries growing on the rocks, the area is really beautiful and amazing, you can feel the clouds and sky very close. I'll come again.

The Onioshidashi Volcanic Park is a magnificent location with paved pathways surrounded by rugged lava rock, seasonal azaleas and an exquisite view of the active Mount Asama in Japan. The park was formed by volcanic sediment deposited during the 1783 big eruption of Mount Asama. Visitors can explore various trails inside the park guided by boards, and a ticket purchase includes a guide.
If you go extremely leisurely I think you can finish all routes in 90-120min. I circled the outer rim one time and it took about 45 min. Plenty of parking outside which is free. The scenery was quite good, with volcanic rock formations and autumn colours all around 😊 I came 31st Oct 2024 which was apparently a little past peak, though, 2024 was a later year than normal for autumn colours.

Oniōshidashi Volcanic Park is an incredible place to witness the raw power of nature. We visited in the morning and was amazed by the landscape — a vast field of jagged black lava rocks formed from the 1783 eruption of Mount Asama. Walking through the trails feels like exploring another planet, with panoramic mountain views and unique rock formations at every turn. The contrast between the dark volcanic terrain and the surrounding greenery is breathtaking. There’s also a peaceful temple dedicated to the Goddness of Mercy Kannon (观音) within the park that adds a spiritual touch to the experience. It’s well-maintained, easy to navigate, and offers great photo spots. A must-visit for nature lovers and geology enthusiasts alike. Do try to spot the luminous moss hidden between the rocks crevices. Suggest to apply sunscreen or sunblock especially when the weather is sunny! Entrance is ¥700 per adult and ¥500 per children. There is also a toll fee of ¥280 in and out of the vicinity.
Ivan N — Google review
Onioshidashi Volcanic Park is a truly unique place to visit. The entire landscape was formed by the 1783 eruption of Mount Asama, and walking through the rugged lava fields feels almost otherworldly. The pathways are well maintained and make it easy to explore the area at your own pace. There are clear viewpoints where you can see Mount Asama in the distance, quietly reminding you of the power of nature. It is both fascinating and peaceful, and definitely worth a stop if you are travelling around Karuizawa or the surrounding region. A memorable experience for both adults and children.

A volcanic park that you shouldn’t miss! The view is absolutely stunning. A perfect spot to admire the beauty of nature with your own eyes 😂😂 The entrance fee is also very affordable
Suwadee P — Google review
A nice scenery of volcanic rocks. It's a pity the place is covered with concrete and not much of the trail is kept natural. While I understand this makes it more accessible, it kind of killed the atmosphere for me. The buildings and facilities are also outdated, which gives it the feeling of an old theme park rather than a beautiful natural park. On top of that, half of the trails were closed because someone saw a bear a month ago. It would have been useful to know this when we entered. There's free parking, but to get here from Old Karuizawa or Kita-Karuizawa, you have to go through a paid "highway." I recommend setting your navigation for "no tolls," as we took a public road on the way back and it was a more comfortable drive. On the positive side, you can enter with a dog 🐕, and there's no additional fee for them. There's also a dog run next to the parking lot that costs about 1,000 yen (or 500 yen if you visit the park as well).

Although it was freezing and windy. We made a very nice stroll along the scenic trail. The views are amazing. We visited in November and it was autom so the changing colors of yellow, orange and red contrasting the black of the lava rocks was enchanting.

Nice to see little plants growing on the volcanic rocks. It has a scenic view. A few section were closed. My brother accidentally slipped and fell on his back as there was a frozen layer of ice on the path. The puddle of water had frozen from some maintenance / cleaning works.

Outdoor bath
Spa garden
Nestled in the midst of seasonal foliage, West Riverside open-air bath offers a serene retreat with its hot springs, shrines, and statues. Just a short walk from Kusatsu Onsen Ski Resort, this spacious roten-buro style onsen provides a relaxing experience. The water temperature varies by location and is hotter closer to the source. While there are no shower facilities or toiletries provided, visitors can enjoy the warm waters and picturesque surroundings.
Mix bath / Family time is only on Friday from 5:30pm If driving, parking is available across the main road near ski resort. You’ll have to cross the road and walk towards this Onsen. No washing area. Recommended to splash and was with warm water beside the baths. Lovely setting and huge! Take time to enjoy!

Absolutely loved Sainokawara Open Air Onsen – we enjoyed it so much, we went twice in one day! The morning visit was already amazing, but we were pleasantly surprised to find out there’s a mixed-gender session in the evening, which made the experience even more special. The view of nature surrounding the onsen was stunning, and the onsen itself is incredibly spacious – one of the largest open-air onsen we’ve been to. A must-visit if you're in Kusatsu.
Chayoot V — Google review
It was my first time visiting here! I love the wider space here but the water wasn’t that clean and a lot of mosses. I don’t think taking bath during the midafternoon is a good idea. It’s bit hot and feeling slimy due to seaweed there. Since tons of people were there, water wasn’t not clear so recommended to go there early in the morning. Water is a bit salty and a cool experience for sure but there’s no shower so be aware of that! Other than that, enjoy! Cheers 🥂
Mr. D — Google review
This is my second favourite onsen in the area. There is only one pool area so the temperature selection is limited. The further you move away from the source the less hot it is, but it's still hot everywhere you go because it's just one pool. Important to note that there is no shower or rinse off area. I highly recommend to go on a day with a mix of sun and rain. This is my favourite onsen when it's raining.
Juan M — Google review
Amazing onsen with a scenic view. There is only a locker room and a large bath (no individual showers or washing areas). I recommend preparing a 100 yen coin for the locker.

It's an outdoor hot spring with blue sky view and fresh air. When you sit in the water too long and feel too hot, you can stand up for the cold breeze. In winter, the onsen is surrounded by snow, and some of the soft snow even falls from the roof, creating an amazing experience. I highly recommend it. There's no place to shower. Bring your own towel to dry yourself.
Mason T — Google review
It cost ¥800 to enter but well worth it. There is no proper shower place just a gallon of water with some small bucket to splash yourself. Bring your own (big & small) towel. Can be purchased but more pricey. Toliets are available. The onsen is very big also the size a basketball court. Surrounded my nature its very peaceful and relaxing in this public bath. Quite a walk up to this public bath but the scenery was beautiful.

Sainokawara Park, situated in Kusatsu, is a serene urban park surrounded by volcanic rocks and filled with naturally heated pools. It's just a short walk from the Kusatsu Onsen bus terminal and the Yubatake. The park features Sainokawara Rotemburo, the largest open-air bath in Kusatsu Onsen.
Open space hot spring. Beautiful view of the whole stream of water. Multiple foot soaking pools available but all are open without shade (we went on a rainy day) The spot may be tricky to find, and there are no parking space at the spot so find parking outside near supermarkets or government buildings (weekend).

Sainokawara Park is a peaceful and scenic spot just a short walk from the Yubatake. The walking paths are surrounded by nature, volcanic rock, and naturally heated streams, which makes the whole place feel calming and relaxing. Inside the park is Sainokawara Rotemburo, the largest open-air bath in Kusatsu Onsen, and it is well worth the visit if you enjoy onsen. The atmosphere is quiet and soothing, and it is a wonderful place to take a slow walk, unwind, and enjoy the natural beauty of Kusatsu.

Nice pools in a beautiful surroundings with flowers and forrested area. You can bath your feed in several pools st the end there is a public onsen. Good access by wheelchair toilets available no eating or drinking services there are some sitting areas but not to much places with shade. Especially the pools themself are exposed to the sun

If you come to Kusatsu, don't forget to come here. Most people don't realize but this is walkable from the Yubatake and it's open and pretty. If you don't come here, it's like going to McDonalds, ordering a burger and a drink but not the fries.

Excellent unique free park with warm thermal waters flowing throughout, plus a public onsen in the middle you can pay a fee to visit. What's not to love. ARRIVAL From the front entry it seemed pretty small, but once you walk in a bit the boardwalks open up into a wider area with lots of steaming pools. This place must be very beautiful in the winter. People were wandering around on the boardwalks and within the parks, often barefoot. There were several foot bath areas, a Devil’s Kettle that made a whistling sound when you stand at a distance but goes quiet when you get close (it’s basically just a small trickle making the sound). Off to the side we saw a statue of a bodhisattva with two western-looking cherubs clinging to it, which was unexpected. SCENERY AND HIGHLIGHTS We walked all the way up to the top of the paths, no one around which was peaceful. From the top we got a nice view of a mountainside covered in orange and yellow leaves. Picked out way back the way we came, the path filled with low bamboo-like kusa-kusa grasses, and plants with leaves bigger than my palm. ONSEN EXPERIENCE On a whim we decided to try the public onsen inside the park. No showers so you just rinse as best you can, and apparently they have a mixed bath option on Fridays. We paid the entrance fee, got two towels and used a 100 JPY coin for the locker for valuables. Outside, the onsen was huge with a big cascading water feature (where the onsen water is fed into the pool). The water near the falls felt maybe 40–41°C, hotter as you approach, and the area near the entrance was around 38°C. About six people total on a weekday but since it's so big it still feels remote. Beautiful autumn colors surrounding the onsen. Very nice park visit with a quiet viewpoint at the end and a big outdoor public onsen (paid visit) as an option. Would visit again and recommend.
A C — Google review
Good for a walk and remember to try the free onsen outside with your feet. The water source is different to the main source with less acidity. If you forgot to bring a towel, you may consider to buy a towel at the entrance of the onsen (300 yens). I don't recommend paper tissue as it is not easy to find a rubbish bin.

A 10-minute walk along a winding path from the center of Kusatsu, you’ll find beautiful Sai-no-Kawara Park. The park stands on a rugged rocky riverbed, with a gurgling stream running through lush forested uplands like an ancient scar. Steaming, mineral-rich hot springs burn along the banks of Sai-no-Kawara, forming a unique dry landscape that flows all the way down to the park and into the many hot spring baths. Sai-no-Kawara Park stretches along the riverbed for about a quarter of a mile, and the connection between Jizo and the park lies in the park’s name: Sai-no-Kawara means “riverbed in the west,” which is a homonym of “riverbed of the underworld” in Japanese. Whenever a child dies young, their young souls gather on the banks of a river called Sai-no-Kawara, and the kind-hearted Jizo comes to comfort and protect them. Gazing at the steamy riverbed and the warm springs gushing out of the ground, the tale of horror and strangeness doesn’t seem so strange. The warm natural spring waters of Sai-no-Kawara not only have physical health benefits, but also mental and spiritual benefits. In addition, the trail down Sai-no-Kawara is considered a very important pilgrimage route by the locals. For all visitors who are not lucky enough to live in the suburbs of Japan, this steaming, quarter-mile-long riverbed is a magical and otherworldly world.

So beautiful, absolutely worth the time to visit if you are in Kusatsu. It’s a quick walk from the Yubatake on a street lined with cute shops (including a tsukemono/pickle shop with cats!!!) there are foot baths and so many amazing sights along the park walkway. One of my favorite places I visited on this trip!!!

Asagiri, a renowned soba noodle shop in Tsumagoi Village, is an ideal meeting place for friends before exploring Kita Karuizawa. This establishment is well-known for serving delicious tempura soba, featuring thin and chewy noodles that leave a lasting impression. The tempura itself is freshly fried, offering a satisfyingly crispy texture.
Great place! Ordered tenzaru soba and it was delicious. The soba has a good texture and the tempura was great. The owner is very friendly and gave us some advice about soba making at the end. I will definitely go again!

(Translated by Google) First visit on Friday around 11:30 I ordered a large bowl of mori soba. Then I was told that they weren't doing large servings today, so when I ordered Niku Negi Soba, I was told that they didn't have the ingredients. It can't be helped that you can't have a large bowl of soba, but you don't have meat or green onions? Even though it's still before noon? As others have written, apart from the taste, there seems to be a problem with the customer service and attitude of the restaurant. I thought about leaving the store, but I had no choice but to order Tenzaru Soba instead. The taste wasn't that great. It might have been delicious without the above. (Original) 金曜日11時30分頃初訪問 もりそば大盛を注文。 そうしたら今日は大盛をやってないとのこと、それならばと肉ネギそばを注文したところ材料がないとのこと。 そばが大盛できないのは仕方ないとしても肉、ネギがない? まだ昼前なのに? 他の方が書いているように味はともかく接客、店の姿勢に問題があるようです。 このまま店をでようかと思いましたが、仕方なく天ざるそばを注文。 味はそれほどでもなかったです。 上記のことがなければ美味しかったのかもしれません。

To be honest, you can get more delicious soba at half the price of Karuizawa. It's true that the owner is a rural craftsman, so he's not very friendly, but that makes him more trustworthy. This is my family's No. 1 lunch restaurant, which I don't want to advertise too much because I don't want it to be crowded. I don't have any photos because I go there all the time. lol (Original) 近場の別荘にいますから…別荘を訪れる度に行く嬬恋村一番美味いお蕎麦屋さんです。はっきり言って軽井沢の半値でより美味しいお蕎麦が頂けます。確かに…店主は田舎の職人気質だから愛想はないですが…それがかえって信頼出来ます。混むと嫌だからあまり宣伝したくない我が家のランチno.1のお店です。 いつも行くからお写真ありません。笑

(Translated by Google) I came down to the foothills from Manza Onsen and was wandering around looking for a place to have lunch when I happened upon this restaurant. As you head south on Prefectural Route 235, which runs from National Route 144 towards Karuizawa, you will find tranquil fields. There is this soba restaurant in this idyllic area. I visited at noon, but the parking lot was crowded with out-of-prefecture license plates. There are counter seats, table seats, and seats, but the box is not that big. Stores also seem to recommend advance reservations during busy times. This time I had the walnut soba (900 yen). The taste of the walnut sauce is comparable to the taste I had in the authentic Shinshu area, and I was in agony. It's amazing that it costs less than 1,000 yen. In winter, when the weather gets colder, you might want to eat warm soba noodles, but we recommend eating soba noodles in a colander. Thank you for the meal♪♪ (Original) 万座温泉から麓へ降りて昼食場所を探し放浪していたところ偶然見つけたこちらのお店。 国道144号から軽井沢方面へ続く県道235号を南下するとあたりにはのどかな畑が続きます。 この牧歌的なエリアにこちらのお蕎麦屋さんがございます 昼時に訪れましたが駐車場は県外ナンバーで混み合っておりました。 カウンター、テーブル席、座席とありますがそれほど箱は大きくはありません。店舗様としても混雑時は事前予約を推奨している模様。 今回はくるみそば(900円)をいただきました。 本場信州で口にしたあの味と遜色のないくるみダレの味に悶絶。 これで1,000円もしないのは素晴らしいの一言。 寒さの増す冬は暖かい蕎麦に食指が伸びそうになりますがやはり蕎麦はざるがおススメです。 ご馳走様でした♪♪

To whom it may concern, I would like to express how appreciated and impressed I am during my stay in your hotel. This is our 3rd visit to Japan and Pascal is the 9th hotel we have staying in Japan. We are booking to stay at your hotel for 8 days and 7 nights, today is my 5th day staying but I can’t wait to write you a review 😆 Your hotel staff and the snow sports staff are wonderful and have great service minded 💜 We would like to extend our appreciation specifically to Miss Thunchanok. Her work ethic and professionalism is outstanding especially with her quick problems solving🥰 At first, we were unsure if we made the right decision canceled another ski resort with $300 AUD cancelation fee coming to your hotel. However, with the great service from Miss Thunchanok, we are delighted to say that we made the right choice indeed. Thank you so so much 😻🥰😍 There is another staff we would like to acknowledge with her professionalism, Sharon from the snowboarding team. As a fitness instructor myself, I can assure that her instructing skills and her knowledge are very valuable to your hotel. She is not only able to demonstrate her skills, but also able to teach base on individuality of each students. My family and I are definitely coming back to learn more skills with her in the next season ❄️🗻☃️

This hotel is absolutely lovely. All hotel’s staffs are really helpful and try very hard to make your stay memorable. The hotel manager is professional, On the first night our room had a problem and she offered a solution to fix this problem immediately. We love the staffs here. Ski in & Ski out is another great thing, our room has a view of ski slope and looks stunning when snowing. Onsen is average but offers everything you need. Free snowboard lesson also another nice offer of this hotel if you stay more than 3 nights. Sharon, snowboard instructor is the best. She is so skilled and patience to teach you. If you had a lesson with her, you will improve quickly. However, the other snowboard instructors are not good. They don’t teach you much at all and once you start asking questions (even about snowboard’s topic) they will get annoyed and give you answers that you don’t expect to hear and make you stop asking. I hope they will improve their issue in the future. We really like this hotel and looking forward to visit here again next season.

1st time to this ski resort. All the conveniences of a free shuttle bus pick up to and fro (hotel to Karuizawa station), breakfast and dinner provided (you can choose your options), onsen facilities, free ski locker for hotel guests, ski school and ski rentals under under one roof made this place simply amazing! Nice comfortable and clean rooms and a super friendly & responsive staff headed by Thansinee. Not forgetting the great ski instructors I had. So glad I chose a different place to ski this year!

My partner and I really enjoyed our 5days stay and ski in this hotel. Room was simple(back to the 90s) but clean and quiet. We also enjoyed the hotel's indoor onsen, especially after our daily skiing. I was unwell and asked the receptionist if I could see a doctor. They were so helpful to arrange the transport and also informed the clinic of my symptoms ahead of my visit. The staff even called to check on me that evening. Really appreciate that personal touch from the team. Skiing: the slopes are beginner friendly. From someone like me who didn't know how to ski, managed to ski down the slope by day 2. The instructors were very friendly and patient. Highly recommended to take up the skiing class. It's not a luxury resort, but it was really nice and cozy. At the end of the stay, we managed to make a few friends with fellow hotel guests. Nice small community. Highly recommended.

Convenient ski resort coming from Tokyo ! Free shuttle bus from karuizawa station . Though the hotel is a bit dated, it’s still a good option where you have everything you need for a relaxed ski holiday. Lifts were not too crowded and gondolas make life easier. Sharon White the snowboard instructor, she was so patient and Taught me some grounds tricks . Can’t wait for the next season to be back .

The best part about Palcall Tsumagoi is Sharon White. She is such an inspiring, professional and effervescent snowboard instructor who knows exactly how to lift you up to the next level. She guides you to improve your technique, thereby improving your confidence and courage. She also loves to teach tricks that are not only fun: but enhances your snowboarding ability like overcoming mounts etc. This was a make or break trip for me - had I not improved I would have just faced reality and called it quits. THANK YOU SHARON❣️❣️❣️. A really nice way to end the snowboarding day is to have a drink and chillax at Glory Days bar on the 3F of the hotel. I would also like to thank Boh the receptionist who walked quite a distance to help me find my gloves (so kind of him) and also a big shout out to Ali another receptionist who patiently helped me fill in the rather confusing luggage delivery form. You guys are the best! 本当に ありがとうございました!

Western restaurant
Cafe
During the frigid winter month of January, I had the opportunity to visit Mama’sGarden, a western restaurant. While awaiting my meal, I enjoyed observing the diverse array of wild birds through the window. My family and I opted for the delectable mentaiko and avocado cream soup pasta, omelet set, beef stew omelet rice, and beef stew hamburger.
If you visit Asama area or the onioshidashi volcanic park, you must visit this beautiful Cafe. My partner Jane and i enjoyed The Salad, curry and deserts very much. They are not your standard Western food, they are excellent fusion of Japanese and Western cuisine with beautiful presentations and delicate yet complex flavours. Mama and Machi are very kind and helpful. The cafe sits in a beautiful location surrounded by a small forest. overall the meal was superb.

Very Cozy, also 10/10 Omurice. Will definitely come again. Also if you ask for extra they really give you extra extra not just rice but sauce too.

No English menu and the owners cannot speak English. Thanks to G Translate, we can order what we want :) Recommended here is their crocket, omu rice, and pork katsu curry rice. Although quite old, but this place feels quite cozy, with big windows looking through the trees outside. And also dog-friendly! They have little garden in front of their cafe, so you can enjoy various flowers and plants while waiting for the seats.

Shabby little place, the lady running it is very nice and dogs are accepted inside. The food was better than anticipated but not very good, service is very slow.

Away from the town and close to the holiday homes. The restaurant is located in a peaceful environment and is pet friendly. Food was good and of decent portion.

Quain little restaurant on a wooded mountain road. It's small and with peculiar decoration but the food is good. If you like the atmosphere of the forest, you will like this place.

Delicious food, friendly and attentive service, a good atmosphere, and a nice location (for those who travel between Karuizawa and Gunma) make for a great place to visit. Well worth a stop if you find yourself out here.

Sushi restaurant
Sushi Kappo Matsukaze is a sushi restaurant that offers a delightful dining experience. The presentation of their dishes is exquisite, showcasing their creative flair and making it an enjoyable feast for the eyes. Located in Niigata, this establishment stands out for its unique taste that cannot be found elsewhere in the area. The ambiance is serene and relaxing, providing a perfect setting to savor their delicious cuisine.
(Translated by Google) I visited him during a memorial service. If you go down the narrow alley, there is a parking lot for 4 cars in front of the store. I was excited by the wonderful atmosphere from the entrance. It was reserved for 12 people, so it was reserved for private use. I ordered a course meal, and everything from the appetizers was exquisite! The appetizer, the pumpkin tea towel strainer, was especially delicious. I enjoyed my meal until the last dessert! I would love to hear from you again. (Original) 法事の際に伺いました。 狭い路地を進むと4台分の駐車場が店の前にあります。 佇まい、入り口から素敵な雰囲気でワクワクしました。 12名で利用したので貸切でした。 コース料理をお願いしましたが、前菜からどれも絶品でした!特に前菜の南瓜の茶巾絞りが美味しかったです。 最後のデザートまで楽しんで食事出来ました! またぜひ伺いたいです。

(Translated by Google) Reservations required. I went with my husband for lunch. There were two customers: one who came alone and one of us. I ordered a meal for 3,300 yen per person with a set of nigiri and rolls. It took over 20 minutes after ordering, and the sushi that came out was 7 nigiri rolls and 4 rolls. I wonder how something like this could take more than 20 minutes. I've been to several sushi restaurants, but this is the first one that took me this long. The taste was ok. The material is large. The atmosphere was just very good. I think it's good for important dates. (Original) 完全予約制。夫とランチで行きました。お客さんは1人で来ている方と私たちの二組。 握りと巻物のセットで1人3300円のお食事を注文。 注文してから20分以上かかり、出てきたお寿司は握り7巻と巻物4つ。 こんなのにどうやったら20分以上かかるのか不思議です。 お寿司屋さんは何軒か行ったことがありますが、ここまで時間がかかったお店は初めてです。 味はまあまあでした。ネタは大きめです。 雰囲気だけはとっても良かったです。大事なデートなどには良いと思います。

(Translated by Google) It's a very calm shop. When I visited for lunch on a weekday, I was able to enjoy it in a relaxed manner without being noisy. There were no other groups in the room, so it was almost reserved! It's not very spacious, but the rooms and tableware are elegant and nice. I had the seafood bowl and the kakuni bowl. I like to eat a lot of different things, so I was happy to be able to choose two (^^) This is one of the restaurants I would like to go to again. Please be careful as there is a road in front of the store! Payment: cash, PayPay Parking: Available (free) (Original) とても落ち着いたお店です。 平日ランチで伺ったところ、騒がしくなくゆったり楽しめました。 お部屋には他にグループがいらっしゃなくて、ほぼ貸切! すごく広い、というわけでは無いですが、お部屋や食器なども上品で素敵。 海鮮丼と角煮丼をいただきました。 色々食べたい私にとって、二つ選べたのが嬉しかったなぁ(^^) また食べに行きたいお店の一つです。 お店の前の道路が一通なので注意です! 決済:現金、PayPay 駐車場:あり(無料)

(Translated by Google) I had a rice bowl. The arrangement is beautiful, I was impressed by the creative bowls that were made with a lot of sincerity, something that I can't find at my local restaurant in Niigata! ! I was so jealous that there was a store like this nearby. The taste is also perfect. (Original) 丼物をいただきました。盛り付けが綺麗で、 私の地元の新潟のお店では食べられないような真心がこもった創作丼ぶりに感動しました!! 近くにこんなお店があったらなあと、羨ましく感じました。味も満点です。
