The castle is small but the location is good in the middle of the city. The view is beautiful when you are at the top, you can also see the long bridge going to Okayama. It's nice to relax at the top, just accompany it with a cold beer, that's ok.

The park itself is free, including the steep walkway up to the castle (somehow it makes me miss staircases). You only pay to go into the castle, which is also where all the stamps are. The castle itself is small, but the park, the surrounding walls and the gates make for a great experience. Be mindful of the closing time though, as it is fairly early. There's a free parking lot where the museum is (but it was closed today, sadly). Although the parking lot was almost full when I arrived, there was no sign of any tour buses. So I still got an overall quiet experience, which was much appreciated. Don't forget to visit the little gift shop at the bottom of the uphill walkway, as they have a cute little fan shop, as well as some Yadon/Slowpoke merch (mascot of the prefecture).

Visiting Marugame Castle is truly a remarkable experience! Steeped in history, it offers a fascinating glimpse into the past that's unlike any other. I can’t wait to share more about the captivating stories and breathtaking views that make this place so special!

This is a small castle, open from 9 AM to 4:30 PM. Even after hours, you can still enter the park (though not the castle tower) to enjoy amazing sunset views

The walkway is absolutely delightful! The walk-up is a little tiring, but the view is perfect! If you walk up just before sunset, you'll have the perfect picture of marugame City!

Castle on a mountain! There is a steep climb up, but the view is amazing! Small tower on top, but it was closed when I arrived (Monday).

One of the 12 original remaining castles in Japan. The castle itself is very small with steep stairs to get up and it's a steep hike to get up to the castle itself, but the view of Marugame and the stone walls are impressive.

Seeing this in person was surreal. It was beautiful and with backdrop of the sea it was so lovely. Love how people can just freely take a picture with it.

Always so much joy and fun to see the wonderful Yayoi Kusama pieces ❤️🖤💛🖤🧚 See the pumpkin when it gets dark, its a hell of a pumpkin 🎃 Visit the yellow pumpkin on the other side of Naoshima, enjoy the beautiful beach there. The local bus will take your from one pumpkin to another:D

The red pumpkin is just as magnificent as the yellow pumpkin. If you’re a fan of Kusama Yayoi, it’s a pilgrimage to visit both pumpkins.

Both Yayoi Kusama and ginger ale are very special to me and so it was a pleasure to enjoy my favourite beverage in front of my favourite artist. I haven’t seen the pumpkins in person before and so it was wonderful to see while drinking simulated gourd in the form of the melon flavoured ginger ale. Spectacular experience

Travelled from Okayama Station. takes about 1.5hr in total. If you have a tight schedule like me cos I reserved tickets at Chichu Museum, suggest you keep to the right of the ferry at disembarkation so you can make it to the town bus stop quickly especially if it's a crowded day. The bus is small and I had to take the 2nd bus as it was crowded. The red pumpkin is at the ferry terminal whilst the yellow pumpkin is at the last stop on the town bus - Tsutsuji-so.

Cool structure - you can go in and pop out from holes

Upon arrival on the island, it's the first artwork you'll spot! Often, it has a crowd trying to take photos with it. If you're patient, let those crowd finish first while you look at other things. I promise by then you can almost have the whole pumpkin to yourself!

interchanging station. heading Takamatsu (20 to 30 min.) or Matsuyama (long journey by local teain), or Okayama in main islsnd via bridge.

remember to check the timetable of yosan line limited express if you wanna go to takamatsu. other “common” trains stop every single stop in-between and it will take a way much longer time.

Poor crowd management after firework on 11th Aug 2023. Citizens are almost suffocated due to too many people inside the station.

It'a medium huge train station. Neat and clean place. Also in front of the station, there is an Aeon Mall. So convenient !

The last remaining night Train (Sunrise Seto) picks up here at 2145 each night bound for Tokyo.

Good

(Translated by Google) There are coin lockers. On the way to Okayama, I stopped by to see the Seto Ohashi Observatory. But I stupidly checked the time on the other side and couldn't go. I left my luggage in a coin locker and took it out again after 4 minutes and just went on my way. (Original) 코인락커 있음. 오카야마로 넘어가려던 길 중간에 세토대교 전망대 보려고 들림. 그런데 멍청하게 반대편 시간을 봐서 못감. 코인락커에 짐맡겼다가 4분만에 다시 꺼내서 그냥 가던 길 다시 감.

This bridge, spanning from Kagawa Prefecture to Okayama Prefecture, is divided into three sections, crossing an island in the middle. The entire structure is grand and breathtaking, with stunning views of the surrounding islands and passing ships. The scenery alone makes it well worth a visit.

Bridge connecting Okayama Prefecture (Honshu) and Kagawa Prefecture (Shikoku), cutting across the Seto Inland Sea. Both vehicles and rail networks use this bridge, with the Marine Liner by JR Shikoku running across the bridge every half an hour, in both directions. On a clear day, you can enjoy the views of the Seto Inland Sea and the surrounding islands when crossing the bridge.

I'm here last April 26- 2025 it's very beautiful place to stop over from joso city ibaraki to marugame city kagawa ken

We arrive by boat, to sail under the bridge. It can be seen from far away, hours before we arrive. It looks like never ending, from one side of the Sito inland sea to the other. An amazing construction!

A long and lovely bridge between Honshu and Sikoku.

My memories of high school are still fresh and etched in my mind, even after 37 years.

A great bridge. Driving with a car on it works very well. The resting area is nice.

The inside of the restaurant is small, but the food is delicious. It's chewy, but soft enough to be eaten. This is the most delicious udon. If you're not sure how to order, a small warm bowl of udon is the norm. Please choose tempura according to your preference

Visited in late July as part of my udon quest in this udon land. It took about 30 minutes from queuing to ordering on a Tuesday under the scorching summer sun, but umbrellas were thoughtfully provided at the front of the shop for waiting customers. The noodles were absolutely delicious, with a smooth, slippery texture that still had a nice chew. The chef was clearly skilled and meticulous, making sure each bowl came out just right. Since we had already over-ordered fried food at the previous udon shop, I kept it simple here with just noodles topped with aburaage (fried bean curd) and an onsen egg, and it was perfect. The shop itself is tiny, so we ate on the bench outside. Prices were surprisingly cheap, and the noodles here really felt on another level compared to the first stop. I would love to revisit if I get the chance.

We took train from Takamatsu and walk 1.2KM from Kameoka Station to the shop. Reach before 11am already see long queue. But the queue move fast.. We ordered the smallest bowl of udon cist 180 yen. Top up with kakiage, ika geso, tofu skin and half boil egg. Paid then add soup by ourself. The udon is super tasty. Worth the effort to go. Give it a try when you in Takamatsu. 😋😋😋

The best Udon I had in Japan. With it’s simplicity you could tell how amazing the broth and the fresh noodles were. I had it with tempura shrimp, which was delicious. When we arrived, the long line seemed tedious- but honestly it went rather quickly.

Really delicious!!!! The noodles is like mochi with nice soup. You can order the size, hot or cold udon, and select your own tempura. It had a lot of queue but not waiting too long so you need to try one :) Cheap price!

Delicious udon from this local tiny restaurant run out of a house. Perfect udon and great tasting tempura. Get here early because people will line up for an hour or more for some of this amazing shop. And it's ridiculously inexpensive. My bowl of udon, with two pieces of tempura added (one shrimp and one chicken) in July 2023 cost the equivalent of $2.92 (US)! What a bargain! If you are ever in this part of Japan definitely come and eat here.

Tiny traditional shop, long queue from even before opening hours. But the line moved very quickly. Efficient operation. Great udon taste, and many tempura selections

Yamashita udon's store goodies include a delicious prawn (or shrimp...) tempura patty on top of the regular sanuki udon experience. Has a great country side atmosphere and a fine place to take the family. Seats outside during the finer days of the year.

Perfect warm udon for a wet walking henro.

Udons are great, tempura are ok.

(Translated by Google) This Sanuki udon restaurant is loved by locals and tourists alike, and is known for its thick noodles and firm texture. It's not flashy, but it has a simple, old-fashioned atmosphere, and its charm lies in the peaceful countryside surrounding it, where you can savor your meal. It's self-service, so you can choose your toppings to your liking, giving you a great deal of freedom; you can simply enjoy the broth, or add fried foods and a soft-boiled egg for a more substantial meal. As it's a little away from the tourist center, it's quiet, and even if there is a line, the turnover is quick. The prices are reasonable, so you'll find yourself wanting seconds. Eating with locals while experiencing everyday life in Sanuki will be a great memory of your trip, and I think this is a must-visit restaurant for anyone who wants to fully enjoy the richness of the noodles. (Original) 地元の人から観光客まで幅広く愛されている讃岐うどんのお店で太めの麺としっかりしたコシが特徴だよ。派手さはないけど昔ながらの素朴な雰囲気があって田園風景の中でのどかな空気を味わいながら食べられるのが魅力。セルフスタイルで自分好みにトッピングを選べるからシンプルに出汁を楽しむもよし揚げ物や温玉でボリュームを出すもよし自由度が高いんだ。観光地の中心から少し離れている分落ち着いていて行列ができても回転は早め。値段も手頃だからついおかわりしたくなるよ。讃岐らしい日常を感じながら地元の人と一緒に食べられるのは旅の良い思い出になるし麺の存在感をしっかり楽しみたい人には外せない一軒だと思うよ。

(Translated by Google) I visited Yamashita Udon in Sakaide. The Sanuki udon served in a traditional atmosphere is exceptional. The noodles are thick and chewy, and the broth is cold but has a gentle flavor. This time I had it with shrimp tempura, which was fragrant and went perfectly with the udon. The sight of the chefs boiling the udon one after another in large pots is impressive, and even the wait is enjoyable. Another attractive feature is the parking lot, making it easily accessible by car. This is a restaurant not to be missed on your Sanuki udon tour of Kagawa. (Original) 坂出の山下うどんさんに伺いました。 昔ながらの雰囲気の中でいただく讃岐うどんは格別です。 麺は太めでコシがしっかり、出汁は冷たいながらも優しい味わい。 今回はエビのかき揚げと一緒にいただきましたが、香ばしくてうどんによく合いました。 大きな釜で職人さんが次々と茹でる様子も迫力があり、待ち時間さえ楽しめます。 駐車場もあり、車でアクセスしやすいのも魅力。 香川の讃岐うどん巡りに外せない一軒です。

(Translated by Google) I was a bit confused because I couldn't find the entrance, but once inside, I was greeted by a chaotic atmosphere. But this is exactly the kind of atmosphere I was looking for when it comes to Kagawa udon!! The view of the female staff member frying the udon was so cool! 😆 This is a self-service restaurant. Of course, the udon was chewy and delicious! But if you can't get in already! Or if you don't want to wait in line, I gave up and came here. But I actually recommend this place! (Original) 入り口が分からなくて戸惑いつつも 中に入ると雑多な雰囲気。 でも香川のうどんはこーゆー雰囲気を 求めてました！！ 釜揚げする女性スタッフの後ろ姿 かっこよかった😆 セルフ式のこのお店。 もちろんうどんもコシがあって 味もおいしかったです！ がもうに入れなかった方！ もしくは並びたくない方。 私はあきらめてこっちきました。 でもむしろこっちがオススメ！

(Translated by Google) This was my first time visiting Yamashita Udon. The restaurant is spacious and has plenty of seating, but the operation seems a little slow and it takes a while for the food to be served. As a result, there tends to be a line outside the restaurant. The udon has a strong fishy flavor, which I think is a matter of personal preference. I wasn't a big fan, but I think those who like seafood broth will love the flavor. The atmosphere inside the restaurant is not bad, so if your tastes suit your taste, I think you'll be satisfied. (Original) 山下うどんさんに初めて伺いました。店内は広めで座席数もしっかりありますが、オペレーションがややスムーズではなく、提供まで少し時間がかかる印象でした。そのため店外には列ができやすい感じです。 うどんは魚の風味が強めで、好みが分かれるタイプだと思います。私は少し苦手でしたが、魚介の出汁が好きな方にはハマる味だと感じました。店内の雰囲気は悪くないので、好みが合えば満足できるお店だと思います。

One of the best pit stops ever Greta view Great shop Great canteen to eat Armen udon shraishi ricw don and cold ramen All in one place Plus there a sanuki udon which we didn't have the stomach space to try

(Translated by Google) I stopped by on Respect for the Aged Day during my trip to Shikoku, but the air conditioner wasn't working inside the store, so it was a bit hot. Although it was lunchtime at 12 o'clock, there were not many customers, so I was able to enjoy my meal slowly while observing the formality. I had the bone-in chicken for 1,300 yen, and my wife had the fried horse mackerel set meal for 1,100 yen. The chicken was spicy and delicious, and the fried horse mackerel was thick, tender, and delicious. Perfect cost performance! (Original) 四国旅行の途中、敬老の日に立ち寄ったのですが、店内はエアコンが効いてなくて少し暑かったです。 12時のお昼時でしたが客も少なく、形式を見ながらゆっくり食事ができました。 私は骨付鶏1,300円を、妻はアジフライ定食1,100円を頂きました。 鶏肉はスパイスが効いており美味しく、アジフライも肉厚で柔らかく美味しかったです。コスパばっちり！

(Translated by Google) Sakaide City, Kagawa Prefecture. In addition to locally produced dishes such as Olive's famous salmon, free-range chicken, beef, and pork dishes, as well as Sanuki's specialty bone-in chicken, this food court also offers pork cutlets, hamburgers, ramen, curry, and more. It's after 2pm on a Sunday in December. The last day of a three-day, two-night trip. The store is located in Yoshima PA. There is also a udon noodle shop and an ice cream shop next door. It is a popular spot with a large parking lot and an observation deck. You can see Seto Ohashi Bridge and the Seto Inland Sea. You can also eat outside on the terrace. In fact, you can eat it at the table next to the udon noodles. Each store has different business hours, and you cannot eat udon at the food court during the hours when the udon restaurants are open (10:00 to 16:00, *until 17:00 on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays). The food court is open until late. The food court side has regular table seats, and is a suitable space for receiving the food you order. I ordered the olive beef sukiyaki bowl with miso soup (1,500 yen) from the ticket vending machine. <In-store description> Olive beef ribs from Kagawa Prefecture are used. Rich, refreshing and soft flesh. It was served in about 10 minutes after ordering. I went to my family waiting at the udon restaurant. It's a sukiyaki bowl, but the rice is about 1 cup. Finished with sukiyaki-flavored meat, onions, konjac, green onions, and egg yolk. Also, miso soup with pickles and white miso. The rice was delicious and well balanced with the meat and eggs. The seasoning of sukiyaki is more salty than sweet and spicy. Since the meat was pork belly, I thought it would be a bit fatty, but it wasn't that rich and had a mellow flavor, but it was salty, so I guess it depends on your taste. Personally, with this quality of meat, I didn't have to make it into sukiyaki, it was enough with yakiniku sauce and a light salt and pepper, but I feel like they wanted to expand the menu. This trip started and ended with Olive Beef. I would like to pay attention to olive-based brands from now on. Thank you for the meal (*^^*) (Original) 香川県坂出市。オリーブ名のサーモン、地鶏、牛、豚の料理、讃岐名物の骨付鳥など地場産料理の他、トンカツ、ハンバーグ、ラーメン、カレーなどがあるフードコート。 12月の日曜日14時過ぎ。 二泊三日旅行の最終日。 店は与島PA内にあります。 隣には、うどん店とアイス専門店もあります。 駐車場は広く、展望台もあって、人気のスポットです。瀬戸大橋や瀬戸内海を見ることができます。 外のテラスでも食べることはできます。 実は、うどん側のテーブルでも食べれます。 互いの店舗は、営業時間帯が異なり、うどん店が空いてる時間帯(10~16時、※土日祝17時まで)は、フードコートでは、うどんは食べれません。 フードコートの方が遅くまで空いてます。 フードコート側は一般的なテーブル席で、注文した料理を受けとることに適した空間です。 券売機で注文したものは、オリーブ牛すき焼丼の味噌汁付(1500円)。 <店内説明> 香川県産オリーブ牛バラが使われてます。 コクがあり、さっぱりとした柔らかい肉質。 注文してから、約１０分ほどで提供。 うどん店側で待っている家族のもとへ。 すき焼き丼ですが、ご飯は1合くらい。すき焼き味の仕上げの肉、玉ねぎ、糸こんにゃく、青ネギと卵黄。 あとは、漬物と白味噌の味噌汁。 ご飯は肉や卵としっかりバランス取れて美味しかった。 すき焼きの味付けは、甘辛というより、塩味が強め。肉はバラ肉なので、脂身は多めかなと思ってましたが、そこまで、こってりでなく、まろやかな味わいで食べれましたが、塩辛かったので、好き好みが出そうです。 個人的には、この肉質なら、すき焼きにしなくても、お肉は焼肉タレや軽めに塩コショウだけで充分でしたが、メニューの幅を広げたかったのかなと感じました。 今回の旅はオリーブ牛から始まり、オリーブ牛に終わるという感じになりました。 オリーブ系のブランドには、これから注目していきたいと思います。 ごちそうさまでした(*^^*)

(Translated by Google) I stopped by when I was in Shikoku. The udon tasted a bit like a chain restaurant, but the atmosphere was great. They also have a great souvenir corner, so it's definitely a place you'll want to stop by! (Original) 四国行く際に寄りました。うどんは正直チェーン店の味っぽい感じも雰囲気は良い。お土産コーナーも充実してるのでぜひ寄りたいところ！

(Translated by Google) I was impressed by the beautiful view. I decided to try the restaurant's specialty first, so I had the restaurant's recommended udon, which was topped with lots of seafood. As you'd expect from a restaurant so close to the sea, it was fresh and delicious. I wasn't particularly impressed with the udon, but the soup was very tasty. It felt like an assembly line system where you use meal tickets, which was a bit confusing for me as I'm not used to it. The only udon I didn't get right away was the recommended udon, I had to pay first. When I sat down, I was able to see the ocean from the floor-to-ceiling windows. However, it was quite hot by the window. But I was able to immerse myself in a world that made me forget about that. (Original) とても景色が良く感動しました。 まずは名物を食べないとと思い、海鮮が沢山のったお店お勧めのうどんを食べました。 さすが海と隣接しているだけあって、新鮮で美味しかったです。 うどんの感動はありませんでしたが、スープがとても美味しかったです。 食券タイプの流れ作業的な感じになっていて、慣れていない私は戸惑いました。 お勧めのうどんだけはすぐに貰えず会計が先でした。 席に着くと天井まで続く窓から海が一望できました。 が、窓際はかなりの暑さでした。 でもそれを忘れるくらいの世界を感じる事ができました。

(Translated by Google) When I stopped by for a break, I ordered an iced coffee for 350 yen, which is a bit pricey, but the coffee was worse than what you'd get at a convenience store! The staff's service wasn't great either. (Original) 休憩で立ち寄った際、アイスコーヒーをオーダー350円とお高めなのに、コンビニ以下のコーヒー！ スタッフ対応もイマイチ

I love the small local spots and this one is an absolute treasure full of atmosphere and fresh Udon.

Not the most fancy place with the atmosphere of being a place where people go during lunch break at work. But that also meant fast service and incredibly cheap yet delicious food. Especially recommended if you're just passing by and need to eat quickly, but definitely also a place to try if you have more time on hand.

Best tasting

(Translated by Google) A heartwarming bowl at the start of your journey! Yanagi-ya, with its fragrant beef tendon aroma Located just off Sakaide-Kita Interchange, Yanagi-ya is the perfect place to begin or end your trip. The Makanai Udon features medium-thin noodles with a light texture, perfectly coated in broth, allowing you to fully enjoy the umami of beef tendon. The flavor of the stewed tendon fills your mouth, with a pleasant, not-too-sweet, refined finish. Each ingredient, from the tender tendon meat to the deep-fried tofu that's absorbed the broth, is carefully prepared, and the dish is designed to be enjoyed individually, rather than with a harmony of ingredients. In addition to the cheerful and energetic service, the staff's kind words of "Be careful" as you leave are a welcome touch. The long hours and convenient location make this a great place to stop for a heartwarming bowl in between sightseeing.

It was already packed with customers at 7 AM. You can order your own portion of udon, and they offer a wide variety of toppings. We started off with a toast of cup sake, enjoying the "potato salad" that the taxi driver raved about. The udon noodles were chewy and firm, and the broth, perhaps made with dried sardine broth, was also delicious.

(Translated by Google) I happened to be passing by and dropped in for the first time. This shop is located right off Sakaide Kita IC on the Setouchi Chuo Expressway. The Lawson right in front of it allows large vehicles to park, and there are many logistics companies nearby, so I guess a lot of the customers are drivers. I chose a cold warm egg and meat bukkake (small) and geta foot tempura. I ordered the cold bukkake, but it was really lukewarm. The geta foot tempura had an extremely thick batter. The self-service cold water was also really lukewarm. It was a bit disappointing. Thank you for the meal. (Original) 近くを通りかかったので初訪問。 瀬戸中央道坂出北ICすぐにある店。 目の前のローソンが大型車駐車可なのと、近隣が物流系の会社が多いから、客は運転手が多いんかな。 温玉肉ぶっかけ(小)冷と下足天をチョイス。 ぶっかけは冷を頼んだがめっちゃぬるい。下足天は衣めちゃくちゃ分厚め。セルフのお冷もめちゃくちゃぬるい。 なんかちょっと残念な感じ。 ごちそうさまでした。

It my first time finding a small snack bar that have a cool summer vibes. Tokoroten is really delicious, I ate with the kinako one. You can purchase omiyage too in the shop across the street, it is a same shop. It was not crowded because I went on Wednesday. Will comeback again soon.

Refreshing jelly like noodles with yuzu mid way to marugame!

(Translated by Google) August 23, 2025, was my first visit. I'd always been curious about their famous tokoroten (sweetened tokoroten) because of the signs. This time, I came all the way to Kagawa specifically to try this place. The roads are narrow, but luckily we managed to avoid oncoming traffic and arrived at the parking lot. There was plenty of space for cars. We arrived in about a minute. The menu was extensive, but since there were only two of us, we ordered two types of tokoroten (mustard vinegar soy sauce and kudzu mochi) and the happy ice cream anmitsu. The tokoroten was cooked right in front of us, which was a delight. The anmitsu was delivered to our table later with a numbered ticket. The location was open, not enclosed, with the sounds of water in the forest and the pleasant breeze from the fan. Both the tokoroten and anmitsu were excellent, and while it's just tokoroten, it's still tokoroten. I was impressed by the addictive tokoroten, which made me want to eat it again. On my way back, I bought some souvenirs at the main store across the street, and the staff were all very friendly. It was a perfect experience, a perfect experience for the first time in a while. (Original) 2025.8.23 初訪問です。以前から看板などで「名物ところてん」は気になっていました。今回はここへ行く目的で香川まで来ました。道路が狭いですが運よく対向車には合わずに駐車場へ到着。結構な台数が置けます。1分ほどで到着。メニューがたくさんあって悩みますが2人なのでところてんを2種（辛子酢醤油、葛餅風）としあわせアイスあんみつをオーダーです。ところてんは目の前で調理してくれて楽しめます。あんみつは番号札で後ほど席まで届けてくれました。密室ではなく開放感のある場所で森の中に水の音、扇風機の風が心地よく素晴らしいロケーションでした。ところてんもあんみつもお味は最高でたかがところてんされどところてんといった感じです。また食べたくなる中毒性があるところてんに感動しました。帰りに向かいの本店でお土産を買ったりしましたがどこのスタッフも対応が良く久々の満点店舗です。

(Translated by Google) I was in the area so I stopped by with my boss. I ordered the unexpected Naniwa-style tokoroten. It was topped with plenty of brown sugar syrup, which was a nice change from the usual vinegar and soy sauce. My boss ordered the brown sugar syrup and kinako, which also looked delicious. I'd like to try that next time. (Original) 近くにきたので、上司と訪問しました。 私の注文は予想できない浪速風ところてんにしました。黒みつがたっぷりかかっており、いつもの酢醤油とはまた違う感じで良かったです。 上司は黒みつきなこでこれまた美味しそうでした。次はこれにしたいです。

(Translated by Google) Arrived on 8/24/2025 just before 11am. I saw tokoroten on TikTok and had never tried it before, so I decided to try it. I ordered a small plate of "Yasohachi Specialty" (mustard and vinegar soy sauce flavor). It was interesting to see it being pushed out of the wooden frame. However, my wife and I couldn't stand the unique taste, which was similar to that of igisu. It was very painful to eat. I guess some people who like it will love it... (Original) 2025 8/24 11時前着。TikTokで見て「ところてん」を食べたことが無いので来てみました。 「八十八名物」(辛子・酢醤油味)の小皿を注文。 木枠の中から押し出されてくるのは面白いですね。 ただ、自分と奥さんはイギスのような独特の味が無理でした。食べるのがとても苦痛でした。 好きな人は好きなんでしょうね…

(Translated by Google) I've been here a few times, but when I came back after a long time, the menu had expanded! I wanted to try both sweet and spicy dishes, but I still prefer the mustard soy sauce lol. It's so nice to be able to eat in the middle of nature! (Original) 何度か訪れていますが、久しぶりに来てみるとメニューが増えてました！ 甘いのも辛いのも食べたくて、両方注文しましたが、やっぱり辛子醤油が一番好きです笑 自然の中で食べられるのが気持ちがいいですよ！

(Translated by Google) I stopped by to take a break from my udon journey. 🏃‍♂️ I ordered the matcha kinako (roasted green tea) and mustard vinegar soy sauce flavor.

Thank you for the meal. 😋 I'll definitely be back for more udon. 🚗 (Original) うどんの旅の息抜きに寄らせていただきました🏃‍♂️ 抹茶きなこと辛子酢醤油味を注文〜 どちらもとても美味しく、うどんの味の口をリセットするのにバッチリでしたし、自然豊かな場所で貸切状態で最高のひとときでした。 ご馳走様でした😋またうどん食べに戻ります🚗
