Beautiful little museum about Hokusai, which focuses on his earlier manga style work, and a few major pieces from his time in Obuse, mainly the festival carriages. Unfortunately, not many of his most well known work, just one or two. A shame since we came from Nagano just for that. Still a beautiful little museum in a beautiful little town.

Should a museum be called the “Hokusai Museum “ and only have one or two minor works by the artist displayed? There were works by other artists displayed, a couple of minor Hokusai works, and two 15 minute videos about Hokusai. I was disappointed to say the least especially when you consider that Hokusai is said to have created over 30,000 works over his lifetime. If you plan to visit, make sure to check the website beforehand so you are aware of what’s available. For a much better experience, I recommend the Hokusai museum in Asakusa, Tokyo. On a positive note, the restroom was clean and the air conditioning was a welcome relief from the hot summer weather.

Absolutely wonderful and I learned so much about the painting style of Edo period and appreciated many artists. It is a great place and their children room is a big homage to Master Hokusai

I liked the place but even more the devotion of the artist a lot. The two videos with information about the artist and his art (15 minutes each, English subtitles) are very interesting. An artist with his peak at 70+ years is just amazing. The art itself is also really lovely and getting more and more colorful. Being in Obuse definitely worth going to this museum.

Very nicely done museum. Excellent intro videos. Some of the interpretive signs include English translations, but many don’t. Use Google lens! If you’re a fan of Hokusai, You’ll need a few hours to take it all in. Lots of neat shops and restaurants in the area. Well worth the stop.

Great exhibit but not a lot of Hokusai works. They where having a special exhibit for 19th-century Japanese artist. Their works are similar. His work was on loan. His panel art on a temple carrying thing? Was worth the time. I loved the gift shop. They had one-of-a-kind stuff with his art.

Nice curated museum. With the exposition of Hokusai works and his influence on world art. The museum has a gift shop and kids playroom. The two documentaries with English subtitles will help you understand who the "mad painter" is and why he is so important for Japanese culture. Recommended for visiting.

We stopped by Obuse for a short trip and found this restaurant. We had a set meal here and everything was wonderful! We were one of the few customers and Wa served promptly. Food was so good we ordered a second set.

Had the chestnut and the strawberry shaved ice. Was nice, but people kept looking at me and my wife because, I think, we were a mixed couple. Also, service acted like this too. Other than that, amazing shaved ice.

Had a rich chestnut experience here xxx If you love chestnuts this is the place to come. I reserved the special lunch course which was very fulfilling, and seats were well social distanced. Just one note, the 朱雀Suzaku (100% chestnut) was a little to big of a proportion for one person (in my opinion)...! I was already a satisfied with half the size!! P.s. people sitting next to us brought some container themselves and were taking the Suzaku home ! Haha I mean that’s how big it is. But unfortunately they don’t have any more this year... you can try next year if you’re interested!

You can enjoy very sophisticated Japanese food at this restaurant. Using seasonal vegetables, the cooking method is great, and the flavour is very modern. If you want to eat early, I think it's a bento style, and if you have time, you should make it a course. The food content and price are the same.

A very famous for chestnut. Very delicious. Have never seen so many cookies with chestnut 🌰 butter

Was here for a chestnut lunch course but apparently February was not the season so they don’t serve that when we visited. However they do gave us a chestnut dessert for free after we lunch there. Worth the visit

Nice place to stop to have a break. The sweets (chestnut chou cream) was nice and not too expensive. The menu is not in English but there are pictures.

Absolutely fantastic to see Hokusai's phoenix in it's original setting. It only takes half an hour to walk from the Hokusai museum and is well worth it. No pictures are allowed inside the shrine so this has to be seen with your own eyes.

Located in Obuse, its a shrine that's not as well-known but definitely worth the visit if you are driving as its slightly out of the way. The temple houses a masterpiece by Hokusai, the master Japan artist (the same master that painter that created the The Great Wave off Kanagawa). You can't take photos inside the temple but there will be guide that will breakdown the amazing aspects of the art for you; if you view the painting mounted on the roof for example, the outline pigments change from black to sliver! Behind the main hall you can find a Frog-Fighting Pond and the frogs are SO CUTE (as shown). Please visit and experience the beauty and cute frogs!

The people running Gansho-in are some of the friendliest I've ever talked with in Japan. They're just lovely. The main thing people come to see is the giant phoenix painted by Hakusai, but they actually have some other neat artifacts as well dating back to the Sengoku period. I love the place and would like to come back again some time.

Came to check out the gigantic hokusai phoenix on the ceiling. It was incredible.

Amazing stuffs explaining interesting stories; how Hokusai painted the phoenix, life of Hokusai, characteristic of the pigment (it looks different colors according to the direction!!), Masanori Fukushima’s story(and Kuroda-bushi, well known as a drinking song…^^), … I was very lucky that I could enjoy the best season for Iris Japonica…

Amazing visit, it’s a really small temple but really worth it for the Hokusai painting. He painted it at 90 years old just before he passed away. The colors of the Phoenix are beautiful and untouched since the original painting. Worth to mention that everything is explained in English m. No pictures allowed.

The Hokusai phoenix is stunning and it's amazing that it's the original with no restoration, but the ticket price is really steep

This shop specializes in chestnut-themed dishes and desserts. I had the Chestnut rice and a dessert comprising a chestnut cream with crispy rice mochi. The restaurant is above the confectionary which sells a broad range of chestnut-based sweets and desserts available for purchase.

We went there over the extended weekend. The place was very crowded. We plan to have lunch and waiting time was about 25 minutes. The food is great. Very reasonably priced and as is usually the case, the staff is nice. We ordered the usual set lunch and also a desert dish which was also very good. The Shop cum restaurant is at the corner so has a good view as well. You can try them if you are around.

We had the vegetable lunch set which came with its famous chestnut rice and it did not disappoint. The chestnuts shaved ice was also very nice on a warm summer day. A little on the pricey side but worth a try when in Obuse.

Excellent chestnut rice. Flavor was wonderful. The sides in the set were all tasty and interesting. They have a limited menu. You can get a set of chestnut rice with or without a fish and not much else in terms of savory food. They do have some dessert and tea sets which are nice if a little pricey. Around lunch time expect to wait for a table. It goes relatively quickly though.

Everything seems to be a little too sweet for dessert menus. But we can feel the real chestnut in there. Good service also.

Good selection of seasonal and chestnut sweets and snacks. Easy access to the carpark right next to the shop.

I've been here many times and the chestnut rice and ayu fish are always delicious. I also enjoy the mountain vegetables and mushrooms. Today we also tried an apple sorbet which was lovely.

They have a bar where you can pay 200-300 yen to taste some of the different sake they offer.

We thought there is something to see about the process of production. This is only a shop with tasting place and two barrels standing around. When we entered also no one suggested us something, so we left

7 or 8 different sales available for tasting, but unfortunately no tours of the brewing process. The staff however were happy to answer questions and talk us through the differences in brewing and how that impacts the final flavour.

Excellent Sake. Bought several Bottles. Shu was by far my favorite. Relaxing back home in TX with a glass.

Not matched made in heaven ...

Amazing sake and pretty cheap to just sample a bunch of them

Tasting by the cup (see price list) instead of a set. Good service

A long-established Japanese confectionery specialty store located in Obuse, a famous chestnut producing area. Chestnut Yokan and Chestnut Shikanoko have long been familiar souvenirs. You can buy them at major department stores, but a visit to the main store will give you a taste of the passion that has gone into making these confections.

(Translated by Google) I've received Sakurai Kanseido's chestnut yokan as a gift several times, but this was my first time visiting the store. The store is very spacious, and the sign on the right side of the entrance clearly conveys the store's passion for chestnuts, or rather, Sakurai Kanseido's commitment to chestnuts, as seen in the accompanying text: "As long as the chestnuts are fresh, that's all that matters." Today, I bought chestnut yokan and chestnut dorayaki. The chestnut yokan had just the right amount of sweetness, making the most of the chestnut flavor. I think it's the perfect sweet treat for tea. The chestnut dorayaki had a very moist crust, and the bean paste, while I imagined it would be azuki bean-like in color, was a slightly greenish color, making it another elegant treat that brought out the chestnut flavor. There's plenty of parking nearby, so it's easy to get there by car. (Original) 何度かお土産でいただいたことがある桜井甘精堂の栗ようかんですが初めて店舗を訪れることができました 店舗はとても広々としていて入って右側のスペースではお店の栗に対する情熱というか桜井甘精堂のこだわり「栗が活きればそれでよし」と書いてあるほど栗への思いが伝わってきました 本日は栗ようかんと栗どらやきを購入しました 栗ようかんは甘さが丁度よく栗のうまみが最大限活かされていてお茶に会うお菓子だと思います 栗どらやきは皮はとてもしっとりしていて、餡は小豆っぽい色をイメージしていたのですが少し緑ががかった色でこれもまた栗の味が生かされたお上品な一品です 店舗の駐車場ですが近隣にたくさんあるので車で行っても不自由しません

(Translated by Google) This shop sells delicious chestnut sweets. There's a parking lot just a short walk away, and with purchases of 3,000 yen or more, you get two hours free. Their autumn rakugan (rakugan) are delicious, of course, but they also have cute chestnut-shaped monaka (sweet chestnut wafers) with a rich, delicious chestnut filling. Their top recommendation is the new chestnut tea-cloth squeezed into a smooth, squeezed-out chestnut, which is only available during the limited time the chestnuts are in season! This product is made by squeezing the smooth chestnuts, and it has none of the alcoholic flavor of chestnut kinton (sweet chestnut paste). It's so delicious, it tastes like you're eating the smooth chestnut itself. It has a three-day shelf life and must be refrigerated, so it can't be purchased online or in other stores. A box of five goes for just over 1,500 yen. They don't make a lot, and they're sold out when they're gone, so when I arrive in Obuse, I always bring an insulated bag and head there first to buy some. It also makes a great souvenir! Roasted chestnuts are sold very cheaply in front of the shop. (Original) 栗菓子の美味しいお店です。少し歩いた所に駐車場があり、3000円以上購入すると2時間無料になります。 秋の時期の落雁ももちろん美味しいですが栗の形をした可愛い栗最中があり、栗餡が栗の味がしっかりしていてとても美味しいです。 1番のオススメは新栗の限られた時期にだけ販売する新栗の茶巾絞り！ 栗を滑らかにして絞りだした1品で、栗きんとんのアルコールくささが全くなく、本当に滑らかな栗そのものを食べているような美味しさです。消費期限は3日で要冷蔵なので通販や他のお店では買えないそうです。5個入りで大体1500円ちょっとでした。たくさん作っているわけではなく、なくなり次第終了なので小布施ついたら保冷バッグ持参で真っ先に買いにいきます。 お土産にもとても喜ばれました！ お店の前では焼き栗がとても安く売られています。

(Translated by Google) This is a top store in the Obuse area. They offer products made with gourd chestnuts, especially the Kuri Kanoko, which is a combination of kanroni and kinton. Other delicious items include chestnut yokan. You can also get takeout sweets like soft serve ice cream and cream puffs. (Original) 小布施界隈のトップ的存在の店。ウリの栗を使った製品、特に栗鹿の子は甘露煮とキントンが合わさったような製品。ほかにも栗羊羹などもよい。スイーツとしてソフトクリームやシュークリームなどもテイクアウト可能。

(Translated by Google) Visited on September 24, 2025 I parked my car in the Sakurai Kanseido parking lot (200 yen per hour, 2 hours free with purchases over 2,000 yen). From the parking lot, I walked down a side street that ran past the factory, and emerged onto the road. After crossing the traffic light, I found the Obuse main store. There was a parking lot in front of the store that could accommodate several cars. The building had a timeless feel, befitting a long-established Japanese confectionery shop. The interior of the store had a calming atmosphere, complete with a rest area. This time, I purchased chestnut dorayaki, chestnut yokan, and chestnut leaf pie. I'm looking forward to eating them. (Original) 2025.09.24 訪問 桜井甘精堂駐車場(１時間200円・2000円以上買い物で２時間無料)に車を停めて行きました。 駐車場から工場の脇道を抜けて行くと道路に直ぐ出て、信号を渡ると小布施本店が有りました。 お店の前に数台停められる駐車場が有りました。 建物は、老舗の和菓子屋らしく時代を感じさせる趣きでした。 店内は、休憩処を設けた落ち着きのある造りでした。 今回は、栗どら焼きと栗羊羹、栗リーフパイを購入しました。 食べるのが楽しみです。

(Translated by Google) I bought a variety of chestnut sweets at Sakurai Kanseido, a long-established store in Obuse Town. The history of chestnuts in Obuse is said to date back to the Muromachi period 600 years ago, and Sakurai Kanseido was founded in 1808. There was an area in the store where you could learn about the history of chestnuts. I bought the following three types of chestnut sweets. Chestnut Dorayaki, Pure Chestnut Monaka, Pure Chestnut Kanoko By the way, I bought about three Pure Chestnut Kanoko as a gift for a friend. When I got home, I had the Dorayaki and Monaka, and the chestnut paste was delicious and you could taste the umami of the ingredients. It's the perfect souvenir from Obuse. #Sakurai Kanseido #Sakurai Kanseido Main Store #Obuse Gourmet #Obuse Sweets #Obuse Dessert #Obuse Town Gourmet #Obuse Town #Obuse #Chestnut Sweets #Chestnut Dorayaki #Chestnut Monaka #Kuboyu Food Tour Review #Kuboyu (Original) 小布施町にある老舗の「桜井甘精堂」にて栗菓子をいろいろと購入しました。小布施の栗の歴史は600年前の室町時代から始まるそうで、桜井甘精堂は1808年創業のお店です。店内には栗の歴史なども学べるエリアがありました。 購入したのは以下の3種の栗菓子。 栗どらやき、純栗もなか、純栗かのこ ちなみに友人へのお返しで純栗かの子を3つ程購入しました。自宅に戻り、どらやきともなかをいただいたのですが、この栗餡は素材の旨味を感じられて美味しかったです。小布施のおみやげに最適です。 #桜井甘精堂 #桜井甘精堂本店 #小布施グルメ #小布施スイーツ #小布施デザート #小布施町グルメ #小布施町 #小布施 #栗スイーツ #栗どら焼き #栗もなか #くぼゆう食べ歩きレビュー #くぼゆう

A perfect place to dive into feudal Japan and to learn about the history of Katsushika Hokusai und Takai Kozan! A must visit for everyone who is interested in Japanese culture and history! Extra bonus: the staff that works there is super nice

It's a no photo zone, but worth a visit

I hesitated at first to pay the 300 yen admission, but it was well worth it. This is a small part of the family estate of the man who was Hokusai's patron and an accomplished artist in his own right. The grounds are small but well-kept, the small collection of artwork is interesting, and the building that served as his study is wonderful to explore. Doesn't take a whole lot of time either, so convenient to fit into a visit to Obuse.

Interesting to learn some history at this nice museum.

The house itself is beautiful, but the exhibits are absolutely stunning. The 36 Views of Mt Fuji alone is worth the ticket

(Translated by Google) This museum occupies the former residence of Takai Kozan, head of the Takai family, who was born and raised in Obuse during the late Edo period. He studied academics and art in Kyoto and Edo. He is known for his connections with thinkers like Sakuma Shozan during the late Edo period, his wealth as a wealthy farmer-merchant providing relief to the poor, his cultural activism led to the invitation of his friend Katsushika Hokusai to Obuse, and his dedication to education during the Meiji Restoration. Visitors can see the remains of the residence visited by late Edo period patriots and Hokusai, the library displaying Kozan's calligraphy and paintings, and the storehouse that housed the Kamimachi festival float known for Hokusai's "Raging Waves" (currently on display at the Hokusai Museum). The exhibition "Kozan's Monsters, Flowers, Birds, and Plants" is running in the storehouse and grain storehouse until Wednesday, November 12th. The flower, bird, and plant paintings that Kozan studied under Hokusai are realistic and vibrant. The yokai drawings he continued to paint in his later years were fascinating, featuring unique yokai that seem to have possessed nature or objects. About a 10-minute walk from Obuse Station on the Nagano Electric Railway. Open from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Closed during the New Year holidays and when other exhibits are being changed. Admission is 300 yen for adults. An event called "Kōzan's Yokai Night" will be held on Saturday, September 6, 2025. Takai Kōzan Memorial Museum, Hokusai Museum, and Japanese Light Museum will be open free of charge at night. Visitors can enjoy food stalls selling shaved ice and other items, as well as a yokai contest (makeup and costume contest). Visited on August 19, 2025 (Original) 江戸時代末期、小布施に生まれ育ち、京都や江戸で学問や芸術を学んだ高井家の当主・高井鴻山の館が博物館になっています。 幕末、佐久間象山など思想家と交流し、豪農商の財を窮民救済に当てたり、交流のあった葛飾北斎を小布施に招いて文化を広め、維新には教育活動にも力を注いだという偉人だそうです。 幕末の志士や北斎が訪れた屋敷跡、鴻山の書画が展示された文庫蔵、北斎の「怒涛図」で知られる上町の祭り屋台(現在は北斎館で展示されています。)が収納されていた屋台庫などが見られます。 11月12日(水)まで屋台庫・穀蔵の展示室で「鴻山の妖怪図 花鳥植物図」展を開催中。北斎に師事した花鳥植物図は写実的で色鮮やかな作品。晩年に描き続けたという妖怪図は、自然界や物品にとりついたようなユニークな妖怪が面白かったです。 長野電鉄小布施駅から徒歩10分程度。 9時～17時開館。年末年始、他展示入れ替え時期は休館。入館料大人300円。 2025年 9月 6日(土)には「鴻山の妖怪夜会」というイベントが開催されるそうです。高井鴻山記念館、北斎館、日本のあかり博物館が夜間無料開館。かき氷など屋台の出店やようかいコンテスト(メイクや仮装コンテスト)などが楽しめるようです。 2025年 8月19日来館

(Translated by Google) July 2025 During the Edo period, Takai Kozan lived in the wealthy Takai family, a farmer-merchant family. During the final days of the Tokugawa shogunate, he worked tirelessly for the peace and prosperity of his homeland and country. He likely had extensive connections with many of Japan's leading thinkers, including Sakuma Shozan, and literati such as Katsushika Hokusai. He was also a painter, and his paintings and writings are on display at this memorial museum. It struck me how these remarkable people supported Japan's modernization from behind the scenes. (Original) 2025/7 高井鴻山は、江戸時代、豪農商高井家に住まれ、幕末に国及び郷土の安泰や発展のため奔走し、佐久間象山をはじめ当時の日本史を彩った思想家や、葛飾北斎など文人墨客たちと幅広く交流があっそうです。また彼は絵も画きこの記念館には、彼の絵や書き物などが展示されてます。 日本の近代化をこのような立派な人達が影から支えていたのだと思いました。

A good variety of flowers, very relaxing atmosphere, a good place to chill and have a walk.

Fun place, it's primary a flower shop with a garden

Ate at Hanaya restaurant here. Beautiful and simple decor. Seats about 30. Serves meals using seasonal and local produce. Simple dishes but packed with flavor. On this day I had a very aromatic and delicious tandoori chicken meal. My friends had the fish. Our lunch set also included one beverage and a shot-glass of Lmond jelly dessert.

It was nice, but the flower beds were all practically the same. Their composition was very well done, but I would have appreciated a bit more diversity.

near the farmers market and free parking not far from the popular area where parking is ¥300+

Terrible there is dead frog everywhere in the garden it is so sad

Superb Garden and very good flowers very super varieties

Lovely small museum. Only problem couldn’t use phone to translate the writing but understand and respect the no use of phones

the museum is great, and the gift shop too. But it’s the whole surrounding area that is lovely and definitely worth a visit, plenty to spend a whole day in Obuse.

You can know Japanese contemporary art here. Chinami Nakajima who was born at Obuse town.

No pictures allowed, but nice small museum

Room with white interior and white walls.

(Translated by Google) July 2025 The garden leading up to the museum is beautiful. The grass garden is deep green in the summer, and the colorful flowers planted there create a striking sight. The museum houses many metal sculptures by Haruyama. The titles and actual works are completely different, which is a bit surprising. To be honest, I wasn't particularly interested in the metal artworks. There were also many paintings by Chinami Nakajima, and her paintings of cherry blossoms and peonies were particularly impressive. Photography was prohibited here. There were also floats on display, and the detailed carvings around and decorating the floats were a sight to behold. It was a truly wonderful museum. (Original) 2025/7 美術館に行くアプローチの庭園が素敵です。芝の庭園も夏は緑が深く、そこに色とりどりの花が殖えられていてとても映えます。 美術館は、金属造形の春山氏の作品が多数あります。作品名と作品が全く違うのでビビります。正直、金属の美術品はさほど興味を持てませんでした。また中島千波氏の絵画も多数展示されていて、桜や牡丹の絵が特に良くて印象に残りました。こちらは写真撮影禁止でした。 あと山車も展示されていて、山車の周りや飾られている彫刻が細かくて見ごたえがあります。 とても素敵な美術館でした。

(Translated by Google) This is the museum of the Japanese painter "Nakajima Chinami", who was born in Obuse as the third son of Japanese painter Nakajima Kiyoyuki and is famous as a painter of flowers. The exhibits are changed three times a year, and the "Summer Nakajima Chinami Exhibition" and the "Haruyama Bunten Exhibition" were held at the museum in commemoration of the honorary citizen of the town. Both artists are artists with ties to Obuse Town, and they sketch and paint flowers such as peonies on site, using brushwork that instantly depicts the individual flowers vividly. On the other hand, Haruyama Bunten is an artist who expresses aluminum castings. The monuments at the rotary in front of Obuse Station and at Obuse General Park are Haruyama's works. The museum is impressive as it displays and stores such art pieces. There is a gallery on the second floor, and there is an elevator, so it is barrier-free. (Original) 日本画家中島清之の三男として小布施で出生し、花の画家として有名な日本画家「中島千波」の美術館。年3回展示替えされ、丁度『夏の中島千波展』と、名誉町民記念『春山文典展』が開催されてた。 どちらも小布施町縁の芸術家で、牡丹などの花を現地でスケッチして描くということで、個体の様を瞬時に生き生きと描き出すという筆使い。 一方、春山文典はアルミニウム鋳体を表現するという芸術家。小布施駅前ロータリーのモニュメントや小布施総合公園のモニュメントが春山の作品だ。 ミュージアムはこの手の美術品を展示保管するだけあって、立派な方だ。二階にもギャラリーありましたが、エレベーターもあってバリアフリーとしては問題ない。

This shop specializes in chestnut-themed dishes and desserts. I had the Chestnut rice and a dessert comprising a chestnut cream with crispy rice mochi. The restaurant is above the confectionary which sells a broad range of chestnut-based sweets and desserts available for purchase.

We went there over the extended weekend. The place was very crowded. We plan to have lunch and waiting time was about 25 minutes. The food is great. Very reasonably priced and as is usually the case, the staff is nice. We ordered the usual set lunch and also a desert dish which was also very good. The Shop cum restaurant is at the corner so has a good view as well. You can try them if you are around.

We had the vegetable lunch set which came with its famous chestnut rice and it did not disappoint. The chestnuts shaved ice was also very nice on a warm summer day. A little on the pricey side but worth a try when in Obuse.

Excellent chestnut rice. Flavor was wonderful. The sides in the set were all tasty and interesting. They have a limited menu. You can get a set of chestnut rice with or without a fish and not much else in terms of savory food. They do have some dessert and tea sets which are nice if a little pricey. Around lunch time expect to wait for a table. It goes relatively quickly though.

Everything seems to be a little too sweet for dessert menus. But we can feel the real chestnut in there. Good service also.

Good selection of seasonal and chestnut sweets and snacks. Easy access to the carpark right next to the shop.

I've been here many times and the chestnut rice and ayu fish are always delicious. I also enjoy the mountain vegetables and mushrooms. Today we also tried an apple sorbet which was lovely.

(Translated by Google) I visited during the Golden Week holidays. We lined up an hour before the restaurant opened and took our seats at 11:20 a.m., a little earlier than the opening time. I took off my shoes and took a seat at a wooden table chair. I was the last to be seated, so I was also the last to take my order. Photographs inside the restaurant were not allowed, so I couldn't take pictures of the menu or food. There were no pictures or explanations on the menu, so it was hard to know what to order for the first time. I wanted to do the omakase course, but they didn't do it during Golden Week. I ordered today's omakase for 1,150 yen, Kamoyaki for 1,650 yen, and Akane Zamai for 1,950 yen. After ordering, nothing came out for an hour and I waited patiently in the cold. wait. wait. I took off my shoes, and there was a wooden floor with no heating. Does the store understand this situation? I would like to at least prepare a lap rest. Today's omakase is mostly wild vegetables and two slices of herring. Kamoyaki is delicious when eaten with garlic miso. To be honest, the soba noodles that I had to wait a long time for were just average, not really delicious. Probably not the second time... (Original) GW連休に伺いました。オープン1時間前から並んで1回転目でオープン時間より少し早く11時20分に席につきました。靴を脱いで板張りのテーブル椅子に着席。一番最後の着席だったので注文をとりに来たのも最後でした。店内の写真は禁止だったのでメニューも料理も撮れなかったです。メニュー表にも写真もなく説明もほぼなく初めてだと何を注文したら良いのかわからない感じでした。おまかせコースにしたかったのですがGWはやっていませんでした。本日のおまかせ1150円と、かもやき1650円、茜三昧1950円を注文。注文してから1時間何も出て来ずひたすら寒さに耐えながら待つ。待つ。待つ。靴も脱いで板張りで暖房もなし。お店の方はこの状態を理解しているのかな？せめて膝掛けとか用意して欲しい。本日おまかせはほぼ山菜にニシンが2切れ。かもやきはにんにく味噌を付けて食べると美味しい。散々待たされたお蕎麦は正直すごい美味しいねって言うほどでもなく普通でした。たぶん2回目はないです…

(Translated by Google) My third visit on July 19th, the first day of a three-day weekend. I arrived more than an hour before opening time, so I called to ask for a numbered ticket, which I'd found on an online search. They told me they didn't offer this service. I also asked if they'd accept me so I could walk around the area while I waited, but they were blunt and said, "Just wait around!" My meal was the "Samadhi Soba" for 1,500 yen. First, I got the 100% fresh flour soba, followed by a special soba noodle with ginger, and finally the coarsely ground soba (nihachi). The soba noodles were still five stars. The timing of serving the second and third soba noodles was also excellent (incidentally, some reviews say the male staff were telling customers to hurry up, but this isn't the case). The soup is slightly sweet, which is sure to appeal to female customers. You can tell the quality of the soba soup by diluting it with some soba soup. I've heard (though I'm not sure now) that the brown soba noodles used at Sekizawa are harvested and sun-dried by the owner, who is originally from Sakae Village, and closes the shop from the end of September to October. It's no exaggeration to say that the quality of soba noodles is determined by the buckwheat flour, and when combined with the skill of making them, they produce the ultimate soba. That's why it's such a shame that the soba's reputation is lowered by the consideration and attitude of the staff. The success or failure of a restaurant depends on its overall strength, including its service. I hope that the owner will make improvements under his guidance, so I've given it 4 stars with high hopes. Restaurant owners and staff alike, please take a look at this post. (Original) 7月19日の3連休の初日に訪問（3度目）開店時間の1時間以上前に到着したので、ネット検索に載っていた番号札を貰おうと電話で確認した所、そんな事はやっていないとの事、更に待ち時間に近辺の散策をすべく受け付けして貰えぬか聞いたが、けんもほろろに『勝手に待っていて下さい』は無いだろう！ 食事は『三昧そば』1500円。最初に生粉打（10割）次に生姜を練り込んだ変わり蕎麦、最後に粗挽き蕎麦（二八）と蕎麦は変わらず☆5つ。2枚目3枚目を提供するタイミングも◎（因みに口コミに男性スタッフがいかにも早く食べろと見ているとの投稿があるがそうではない）汁は女性客などにも受けるようやや甘めの仕上がり。蕎麦汁の良し悪しはそば湯で割って飲むと分かる。 せきざわが使っている玄蕎麦は栄村出身の店主か9月末から10月まで店を閉め、天日干し収穫した蕎麦と聞いています（今は定かではないが）。蕎麦の良し悪しは蕎麦粉が決めると言っても過言ではない、更に打つ技術も相まって至高のそばができます。 それだけにスタッフの気遣いや態度によって蕎麦の評価が下がるのは残念至極です。飲食店の盛衰はサービスを含めた総合力です。是非、店主の指導のもと改善して欲しいので期待を込めて☆☆☆☆4つとしました。店主、スタッフの方是非、この投稿をみてください。

(Translated by Google) Early November 2025, weekday I'm not particularly fond of soba noodles, but I felt the texture and texture of this 100% buckwheat soba were of high quality. They had several 3-flavor sets that allowed you to sample three different types of soba, which was great because I was able to enjoy a variety of flavors. [Other Information] Please note that photography is prohibited inside the restaurant. Maybe it was because I arrived a little late on a weekday (around 1:00 PM), but I waited about 5-10 minutes, and was able to get in right away. (Original) 2025 11上旬 平日 私自身蕎麦好きと言うわけではないのですが十割そばでこののど越し、歯ごたえは質が高いと感じました 3種類の蕎麦を味わうことが出来る3味セットというのが複数種あって、色んな味が楽しめたのすごく良かったです 【その他参考情報】 店内での写真撮影は全てご遠慮くださいとの事です 平日で少し遅め(13時前後)の来店だったからかもしれませんが 5~10分程度待ちましたがすぐに入ることができました

(Translated by Google) It's a tourist-friendly restaurant that locals don't frequent. It's been years since I last ate there, but judging by the reviews, it seems exactly the same as it was back then. Naturally, the management is the same, so the basic customer service approach won't change, so I thought I'd write about it now. Simply put, locals don't go there because it's poor value for money. I don't deny the taste of the soba itself, but it's no exaggeration to say it tastes like anything else. Basically, it's average. And that's the price and portion size. It's poor value for money. On top of that, even if I wrote in detail about the customer service approach, if I posted it on Tabelog, it would be unreasonably deleted. I can't remember whether it was before or after business hours, but the front door opened, so I called out to ask a question. There was someone in the kitchen, but they didn't bother to respond and remained silent. Even if they were busy preparing or cleaning up, they would probably respond if it was a neighbor or a delivery, but since it was a customer calling out, it probably wasn't a big deal, so they ignored them. Honestly, I have a similar personality, so I understand, but even so, it doesn't work in the customer service industry. He's probably a chef (manager), but he's decided he doesn't want to be involved in customer service. That arrogant attitude is clear when you read the other reviews with low scores. And yet the soba is just your average tasting, and the portions are small, making it a poor value for the money. That's why locals don't go. Of course, there's a reason why you can't eat it right away. As others have written, the people who are giving it a high rating say it's not about the soba. I'm talking about other dishes, like the side dishes. If you're looking for soba, a perfect score is out of the question. I'll say it again and again. The soba tastes average. The portions are small. They completely ignore the customers. That's why I give it one star. I still went there twice, with my family and guests. Of course, the guests were completely unimpressed with the service that led to the low rating, but they weren't impressed at all. Just average, after all. If you're treated to delicious food, you'd normally think they'd act pleased, but that didn't seem to happen at all. That's what I'm saying. Soba lovers looking for the taste of soba here will not be impressed. (Original) 地元民は行かない観光客ばかりの店。食べに入ったのはもう何年も前の話ですが口コミを見る限り全く当時と変わっていないようですね。当然経営者が同じなんだから接客姿勢の基本的なことは変わるわけもないので、今更ながら書き込みたいと思います。 端的に言うとコストパフォーマンスが低いので地元民は行かない。蕎麦自体の味は否定しないがどこにでもある味と言っても過言ではない。要するに普通です。 それがあの価格と量なんですから。コスパは低い。それに加えて接客姿勢などは詳しく書いたところで食べログに投稿すれば理不尽に削除対象となる。 営業時間前だかあとだか忘れたけど玄関扉が開いたので、尋ねたいことがあって声を掛けた。しかしそこの調理場に人がいるが対応しようともせずダンマリを決め込む。 いくら仕込みや片付けなど作業中であっても、もしもご近所さんや宅配だったら対応するだろうが、客が声かけて来たら大した要件じゃないだろうから無視したんでしょう。 正直自分も似たような性格なのでわかるが、だとしても接客業でそれはないね。恐らく自分は調理人（経営者）だが、接客には携わらないと決め込んでるんでしょう。 その高飛車感は他の点数の低い口コミ読めば明白ですね。 でいて蕎麦はよくある普通の味である上に量が少ないという低コスパ。地元民が行かない理由です。もちろんすぐに食べられない理由はあるでしょう。 他に書いている人もおられますが、高評価してる人はの理由は蕎麦についてではないと言うことです。 付け合わせなど他の料理含めての話です。 蕎麦を求めるのなら満点評価はあり得ません。何回でも言いますが。 蕎麦の味普通 量少ない 客をガン無視 だから星一つ 私はそれでも二回行きましたよ。家族と客人と。 もちろん客人は低評価要因の接客とは無縁ですが、全く感激してませんでしたね。やはり普通。 美味しい料理を奢ってもらえたら普通は満足そうに振る舞うと思うけど、そんな感じは全くありませんでした。そう言うことです。 蕎麦好きが、ここに蕎麦の味を求めても何の感動もないでしょう。

(Translated by Google) I asked a taxi driver if he knew of any good soba restaurants, and he brought me here. I'm not particularly looking for excessive, smiling service, just normal is fine. The staff were way too overbearing, and the owner clearly had the feeling he was just making me eat. Still, if the soba was good I wouldn't complain, but these were short, soggy noodles that felt like they were torn apart. Is this what they mean by juicy, sparkling soba? Is this a famous restaurant? I now live in Kanagawa, but the regular soba restaurant I occasionally go to in Sagamihara is much tastier. The interior was nice, though. (Original) タクシー運転手さんに、美味しい蕎麦の店を知らないかときいたら、ここに連れて来てくれた。 別に、過剰な笑顔のサービスを求める気は無いんだ、フツーでいい。 店員があまりにも威圧的で、店主も「食わせてやってる」感がアリアリ。 それでも蕎麦が上手ければ文句ないんだが、ビシャビシャの千切れたような短い蕎麦。 みずみずしいキラキラしたお蕎麦、ってコレか？ これで名店？ 今は神奈川に住んでいる自分だが、相模原市内のたまに行くようになったフツーの蕎麦屋さんのほうがよほど美味いよ。 ただ、インテリアは良かった。

(Translated by Google) This was my third visit in 2025. Since I had a packed schedule for the afternoon, I lined up first, ate first, and paid first. The portions were small, but the water was delicious, bringing out the flavor of the soba. Even though the cost performance was a little low, the overall soba was good and well-balanced. Water is important! This was my second visit on November 1, 2024. I arrived five minutes before opening, and since it was a weekday, the parking lot was about half empty. I waited two or three minutes on the veranda, but I was shown to my seat right away. I ordered the same cold coarsely ground soba noodles as two years ago, with a special soba noodle dish and warm duck and scallions at the end. Since it was early in the morning and I was pretty hungry, I also ordered the cold coarsely ground soba noodles separately. Soon, the coarsely ground soba was served, cut into thin strips, and was sweet and very easy to eat, even more delicious than last time. The second soba was made with sesame seeds, which were very finely ground and contained black sesame seeds, creating a wonderful balance that didn't overpower the flavor of the soba. Finally, we had warm soba noodles with duck and leeks, which paired well with the well-prepared duck, and were also excellent. We finished off with a single order of coarsely ground soba noodles. This time, we had three servings of cold dishes, and while the soba itself was delicious, they all had a slight hint of boiled and cooled water remaining, and when I dipped half in the rainy season soba and swallowed the other half as is, I could taste the cooling water, which was very sweet and delicious. Essentially, my favorite drink (food) is water, and I've been a fan of handmade soba noodles for a long time, but this was my first experience with soba noodles that I could really taste the deliciousness of the water going down my throat. I should add that it's not that the water wasn't drained badly. Delicious water, delicious soba! I visited this restaurant for lunch with the president of the new factory on October 30, 2022, the first day of the new soba season. I've actually been longing to try this place for over 20 years, and never thought I'd get this chance. It was the first Sunday after a long closure due to the fall harvest, so I was the first one there, just over an hour before opening. Time passed. As soon as the restaurant opened, I waited 10-15 minutes thanks to the efficient service and customer service. I ordered a hot (haru) soba noodle. It was a set of two cold soba noodles: coarsely ground, special soba noodles, and one hot soba noodle. Unfortunately, photography is prohibited inside the restaurant, so I can't show you the inside, but I can only describe it as, well, delicious. The coarsely ground soba noodles were sweet even without the sauce! I've eaten at many famous restaurants across the country, but I've never experienced anything as sweet as this. The water must be delicious, too, since all the water is used in the soba. Even with the spicy sauce, the soba was even sweeter. These days, hand-made soba restaurants are generally known for their deliciousness, but when you find something that stands out, it's a truly blissful experience. However, it is becoming increasingly popular everywhere, making it difficult to find (encounter). It is on par with Mizuho. (Original) 2025年三回目の訪問、午後から色々とまわる予定がぎっしり有る為1番で並んで1番で食べて1番で会計。量は少ないけど水が、美味いので蕎麦は水のおかげで引き立つので多少コスパ悪くても全体的に良蕎麦となりバランス良く食べれる。水は大事‼️2024年11月1日に、二回目の訪問。開店5分前に到着平日の為駐車場は半分位空きが有る。二、三分乗れ縁で待ち間もなく案内されて、直ぐ席に着き。2年前と同じ冷たい粗挽き、変わりそばと最後に温かい鴨葱それに朝早かった為かなり空腹だったので冷たい粗挽きを単品で注文。程なく粗挽きから提供され細く切られるた蕎麦は甘く非常に食べやすく前回以上に美味しかな、そして、二つ目は胡麻切りかなり細かく挽かれた黒胡麻が入っており蕎麦の味を邪魔しない素晴らしいバランスで胡麻切り蕎麦を頂けた、最後は鴨葱の温かい蕎麦でよく下処理された鴨と相まりこれも素晴らしい。最後は単品で注文した粗挽きで締めを括った。今回は冷たいもの三盛り頂いたが、蕎麦自体はもちろん美味いけど全て共通として茹でて冷やす水が気持ち少し残っていて梅雨を半分つけ残り半分はそのまま飲み込む際締め水が感じられその水が非常にな甘く美味い。基本当方は飲み物(食べ物)で1番好きな物は水で、長い間手打ち蕎麦を好んで食べてきたけど喉越しの水の美味さを感じル蕎麦は初めての経験をした。付け加えておくが決して水切りが悪い訳では無い。水美味し蕎麦美味し！ 2022年10月30日新そば初日に新しい工場の社長との昼食で訪れました。実はこのお店20年以上前から憧れてまして、この機会が来るとは。お店は秋の刈入れの為、長い休業明けの最初の日曜日だった為開店１時間チョイ前から一番乗りで。そうこうして時間に成りました。開店と同時に非常に手際良い案内と接待で待つこと10〜15分、注文は温(はる)かけそば。粗挽きと、変わりそば、かけそばの冷たい2温かい1のセット残念ながら店内撮影禁止の為お観せ出来ないですが月並みに、うまそう　しか表現出来ない。粗挽きからつゆ付けず口にすると甘い！全国色々な著名店で食べましたがこんな甘さは無いですね。あと水が美味しいんだろな締めた後の水のも良い。水は蕎麦に全て使うから。辛めのつゆ付けても尚一層甘さます美味い蕎麦。今手打ち蕎麦屋は普通に美味いのは当たり前、そこから抜け出した物を求め出会った時が至福な時間。でも何処でもランク高くなりそれ見つける(出会いる)事大変。水府と並び立つ。

Sweet bagels made with dried fruits are perfect to accompany wine. They come in a wide variety of flavors, including onion and garlic flavors, making them suitable for a variety of meal occasions. However, when you buy many different kinds, it can be very difficult to distinguish between similar ones once you get home, so you need to be creative, such as taking pictures of store windows.

The chestnut rice was so good cause the rice was sticky rice, which i love. Big and spacious restaurant with a garden outside, very zen, very demure. Food came out quickly, waiters are nice and polite.

Influenced by the Google review and choose to try this restaurant. I am very pleased with the quality of food. 3000yen for a lunch Gosen set including handmade soba , sticky rice with chestnuts , tempura , vegi soup , eggplant plus pickles . Really value for money . Highly recommended !!

Fantastic soba, a wonderful place to stop for lunch in Obuse or if you are in the region.

Best food (chestnut rice with prok) we had in Japan since we came 2 weeks ago. The value for money is great. Atmosphere amazing (get a table with a garden view). Love it and hoping we will come back.

Really beautiful garden to stare at while you eat. I just got Matcha with Chestnuts in jam and it was super tasty. You also get roasted green tea free of charge and I loved being able to really enjoy the flavour of the chestnuts while enjoying the view.

This was my second visit to the restaurant. Food, service are all fantastic. The soba with hot duck broth is my favourite. The set meal with the chestnut rice is also a crowd pleaser.

Very nice soba mushroom noodles. Good chestnut rice too!

The volume of soba was huge! Of course, the tastes great! It is worth to visit this soba restaurant when you come down to Obuse :)

Great spot for soba on a rainy day. Tempura was really crisp and lightly flavoured. The 3 types of soba made a very nice contrast in flavours.

Amazing Japanese restaurant with delicious traditional dishes, across the road from the shops and a little set into the street. The team at Tomikuraya were also very kind to us when my child wasn’t feeling well offering a blank and place for him to lie down - Doumo arigatou gozaimasu!

Very nice tempura soba - comfort meal for winter

Fresh soba in a traditional setting. Great value and delicious! They recommend the soba with tempura set

Soba was okay, above average. Good service though.

(Translated by Google) I went there hoping to get the kakiage tempura that was recommended in reviews, but it's currently out of stock. I would have preferred the plain Zaru Soba, but they add something to it to raise the price, but I still think the prices are a bit high. The soba is really delicious, so I wish they would focus on Zaru Soba, but I guess that can't be helped since it's a tourist destination. The portions are small and not very satisfying. (Original) 口コミにあったかき揚げを目当てに行ったら、今はやっていないとの事。 ただのざるそばが良かったが、価格を上げるためか、何かしらついているが、それでも強気の価格設定だと思う。蕎麦はすごく美味しいのでざる蕎麦で勝負してほしいところだが、観光地なので仕方ないのかな。量も少なめで満足感もない。

It’s more than a meal; it’s a cultural and culinary journey through Japan’s traditions, flavors, and hospitality. Highly recommended for those visiting the Nagano region, particularly if you want to savor Japanese authentic meal in a settings that feels both intimate and memorable.

Lovely little kaiseiki restaurant selling Obuse beef steak and tonkatsu! Both beef and pork were delicious with light, clean taste and flavours.

They have started serving breakfast, 8:00-10:00 am. Excellent seasonal selection.

Very very good restaurant, reasonably priced for lunch too!

Japanese cuisine at amazing standard !

(Translated by Google) My daughter sought this restaurant out for a family birthday lunch. When I came here, I wanted to try the thick-sliced ​​pork loin cutlet set, but it took about 25 minutes to cook, so I gave up! I ordered the regular loin cutlet set. However, even though it's normal, it's quite a thick loin cutlet and very soft.You can customize the taste with sauce, salt, and miso. Also, the rice was cooked to be firm to my liking, which made me excited⤴️ Even though it was a bit much for me, who hasn't been eating much lately, it all came out clean and refreshing. Thank you for the delicious time. It was a good birthday party. (Original) 家族の誕生会ランチで、この店を娘が探してくれました。自分は、ここに来たら〚厚切りロースかつ膳〛を一度食べたいと思ってましたが、調理に25分程度要する…とあり断念！通常のロースかつ膳をオーダーしました。しかし通常と言えどかなり厚めのロースかつでとても柔らか💕ソース・塩・味噌でアレンジして味変しながらの食事ができます。またご飯が、自分好みで硬めの炊き上がりでテンションアップ⤴️　最近少食の自分には多めでありながら全て綺麗さっぱり戴けました。美味しい時間をありがとうございました。良い誕生会となりました。

(Translated by Google) The huge fillet cutlet set fried by the master is highly recommended. It's a remnant of what was originally a pork cutlet shop. It's really a huge volume. For those who want to enjoy meals This is a restaurant that I would like to recommend. Payment is cash only, There were only 2-3 parking spaces next to the store. I'll upload the ones that shocked me. First of all, my first time trying Yamaudo pickled in soy sauce. It's a lot of homemade miso. I served it with fillet cutlet and steamed vegetables. It was also my first time to experience disposable hand towels wrapped in washi paper. Chopsticks have tapered ends These are polite chopsticks. Is it Yoshino? Connecting ingredients for appetizer (squid appetizer) I enjoyed the delicacy of the jelly. Rich chestnut sauce Panna cotta is also very satisfying. Strong coffee with Obuse milk It's also perfect to add plenty of it. The rice is said to be Koshihikari from Nozawa Onsen Village. Something like the thoughts of the food creator It was a meal that arrived quickly. Suzuhana creates a rich, modern Japanese space. JR Kyushu sightseeing train, Yufuin Onsen, etc. It was created by Eiji Mitooka. The hand rest and chair in the middle of the stairs are gentle. I fell in love with the beauty of the curves. Although it may seem expensive at first glance, From the actual experience of food and space, Fair price, plenty of everything I felt that there was enough quantity and it was cheap. This is a restaurant that I want to come back to when I go to Obuse. (Original) 親方が揚げる巨大なヒレかつ膳がイチオシです。 もともとトンカツ屋さんだった名残りですが 本当に、すごいボリュームですよ。 食事を楽しみたい方に おすすめしたい料亭です。 支払いはキャッシュのみ、 駐車場は店舗脇に僅か2-3台分ありました。 衝撃を受けたものからアップします。 まずは、初めての山ウドの醤油漬け たっぷりの自家製味噌です。 ヒレカツや蒸し野菜にと付けていただきました。 和紙に包まれた使い捨て手拭きも初めて。 お箸は、先が細く仕上げてある 丁寧なお箸です。吉野でしょうか。 先付け(イカの前菜)の素材を繋ぐ ジェリーの繊細さを味わいました。 もったりとした栗🌰ソースの パンナコッタも満足度が高いです。 濃いめのコーヒーに小布施牛乳を たっぷり入れるのが、またぴったり。 ご飯は野沢温泉村のコシヒカリだそうです 食の作り手の思いのようなものが ビョーンと伸びて届いてくる食事でした。 鈴花のコクのある和モダンな空間づくりは JR九州観光列車や由布院温泉などを 手がけた水戸岡鋭治氏によるもの。 階段中段の手置きや椅子のなだらかな 曲線の美しさに惚れ惚れしました。 一見お値段が高そうに思えますが、 実際の食の体験、空間の体験からすると 適正価格、すべてにおいてたっぷりとして 十分な量があって安いとすら感じました。 小布施に行ったらリピートしたい料亭です。

Pretty popular lunch spot in Obuse. It took us over an hour to wait to get seated for lunch at 1330. The food is served French cuisine style so in very dainty portions. After or while waiting for orders, guests can walk around the restaurant’s garden. They also have Alfresco dining and allow pets. The staff were accommodating by promptly providing hot water to make formula, and supplying us with a high chair for the baby as soon as we sat down. Parking is available at the Tsuruya supermarket just down the road.

A bit expensive but delicious and healthy lunch, with magnificent presentation, very much worth it. I had the best (beef cubes in sauce and mixed vegetables). Came with coffee, salad, and small dessert. Outside is a vast garden, now with cherry blossoms.

nice restaurant good service lovely apples juice

Walked around the whole outer garden for the first time. Outdoor seating is available - strong, wrought-iron chairs around darkwood tables. Hayama restaurant serves elegant French-fusion meals. A plant shop offering a variety of products is at the front.

Very nice location, seasonal dishes with a delicate fusion between Japanese and French cuisines. Young smiling staff at the service

Comfortable resto, good portion. . Family restaurant flavor

(Translated by Google) The atmosphere was great and it was one of the best lunches I've had in recent years! I went there around 11:30 on a Saturday and was seated with barely any wait. It was about 30°C that day, but there were three seats on the terrace, and with two large fans the ventilation was good so we could enjoy our meal even on the terrace. I enjoyed the 2,000 yen flower shop plate lunch. I thought it would be cold soup but it was warm and very delicious. It came with a salad, a gorgeous plate, a drink and a mini dessert so it was great value. I'd like to go again. (Original) 雰囲気もよくここ数年行ったランチの中でもトップクラスに良かったです！ 土曜日の11時30分頃伺いましたがほとんど待たずに案内されました。当日は30℃ほどでしたがテラス席には3席ありますが大きな2台の扇風機があるため風通しも良くテラス席でも、食事を楽しめました。 2,000円の花屋プレートランチを楽しみました。冷製スープかと思いきや暖かいスープでしたがとても美味しかったです。サラダ、豪華なプレート、ドリンク、ミニデザートが付いていてとってもお得です。 また行きたいです。

Interesting jams, wines and sauces. The second floor is easy to miss, but worth the climb to see all the wine accessories and table ware from Poland. 15 min tours of winery, free wine tasting, attached cafe with outside seating make this a worthwhile stop

Wonderful find. Came across this winery after a weekend of travel in Nagano. Could not be happier. The winery had a nice shop and beautiful outdoor seating. Reminded me of many great wineries back at home in the US.

I could enjoy the wonderful scenery with delicious food and great wine!! I wanna visit there again😊 this place can be suitable for celebrating anniversaries etc… I really recommend this restaurant to all of my friends!☺️

Thumbs up! Delicious food and great service!

Great place to visit.

(Translated by Google) I went there during the Obon holidays. The atmosphere was great both inside and outside, and there was a cool breeze blowing. Both kids and dogs will want to run around. I also bought wine and jam that are only available at the main store, as well as shichimi pepper flavor created in collaboration with Yawataya Isogorou. I was also able to taste the wine, and was satisfied with how easy it was to drink before purchasing. The gelato was also delicious! I wanted to try the focaccia set, but I'll save that for next time! (Original) お盆休み中に行きました。 店内も外もとても雰囲気が良く、涼しい風が吹いていました。 子供もワンコも走りたくなるでしょう。 本店限定のワインやジャムや、八幡屋礒五郎コラボ七味も買いました。 ワインのテイスティングもさせて貰いましたので、飲みやすさに納得して買うことができました。 ジェラートも美味しい！ フォカッチャセットも食べたかったけどまた次回！

(Translated by Google) I stopped by for lunch on the way back from a trip to Joetsu. They used to have a delicious sausage sandwich for around 1000 yen, but they've discontinued it and replaced it with chicken focaccia or salmon focaccia for 1580 yen. I had no choice but to order the chicken focaccia, but it had a small amount of shredded chicken and a lot of vegetables. The cold soup that came as a bonus was also small, so I wouldn't say it was good value for money. I wish they'd bring back the sausage sandwich. (Original) 上越への旅行の帰りにお昼を食べに寄りました。以前ソーセージサンドが1000円くらいでおいしかったのですが、それがなくなって、1580円のチキンフォカッチャやサーモンフォカッチャなどに変わっていました。仕方なくチキンフォカッチャを食べましたが、ほぐした鶏肉があまり多くない量とたくさんの野菜が入っていました。おまけ感覚の冷製スープも量が少なく、コスパがいいとは言えなかったです。ソーセージサンドを復活してほしいと思いました。

Don't let the Google ratings fool you on this one ! When we got there at 1330hrs the car park was full ! They apparently close at 1430 until the dinner service. Predominantly local crowd, good sign. English menu available( but the ordering machine has no translation). Interestingly, the Donabe Miso Tonkotsu has a choice of "rich" and "light" broth. Not telling which I ordered but I don't think it would have made a difference. They would have been both great. Another interesting note. The noodles are the round yellow egg type noodles you would commonly find in the rest of SE Asia. It will be cooked al dente, uncommon in SE Asia. The TanTan Men broth states its spicy. If you're from SEA and used to a little more heat, you might have to bring your own chili oil. This broth is unique in that it has an almost peanut flavor to it ! Finally, it's all served in a claypot. If you don't slurp it all up in 15 minutes like most locals, know that it'll remain hot for far longer than you remain hungry. To finish, a shout out to the helpful and friendly staff for helping these clueless foreigners ( the ordering machine does not accept "new" series Japanese yen notes).

Fantastic ramen shop in Obuse. Ordering is done from a machine, and if yo ur Japanese isn't good there is a printed English menu to help you navigate the screen. The broths come in light or rich, and it's nice to be able to customize that along with toppings. The tonkotsu is superb and the gyoza are perfectly fried. Everything was delicious. Highest recommendation!!

Nice quaint place with excellent ramen. Either English menu. Delicious and special

Best vegan ramen i have ever had in japan

The thick tonkotsu ramen was some of the best I've had in Japan! I don't understand why this place has a rating under 5 stars: the price was good, service was prompt, plenty of soup and noodles and of course, everything was delicious and hot!

Great service and great ramen and gyozas. The spicy ramen was amazing

Fantastic meal, highly recommended I had the regular Rich ramen and added an egg, it was thick and the broth and noodles lovely..

Great cozy place in obuse for teishoku meals - meaning like a set meal with protein dish, rice, miso soup and side salad. Good portion even for large eaters! We enjoyed my chicken nanban set and the tonkatsu with sauce and egg.

(Translated by Google) I searched for dinner in Obuse on the way back from a trip to Nagano and came here. A stylish wooden building that stands out in a residential area a little far from the center of Obuse. Parking is available in front of the store. The interior of the store has a wood grain interior. The main seats are tables, and the ceiling is high and open. In the evening, there is a wide variety of food menus to choose from. I had the limited quantity ginger grilled set meal. My wife ordered the soba set meal. It looked and tasted delicious! (Original) 長野旅行の帰りに小布施で夕食を食べようと検索して伺いました。 小布施の中心地からは少し離れた住宅街の中にひときわ目立つ木目のお洒落な建物。駐車場はお店の前に停められます。 店内は木目調のインテリア。 テーブル席がメインで天井も高く開放的。夜もお食事メニューが豊富で目移りします。自分は数量限定の生姜焼き定食。妻は蕎麦定食を注文。見た目も味も美味しかったです!

(Translated by Google) This Japanese restaurant is located in a residential area a little away from the city and the main streets, so it can be difficult to find on your first visit. At lunchtime they offer mainly set meals, but they also have a "course meal" available for reservation. Each dish is an elaborate Japanese meal, so it is highly recommended. They also have a selection of Obuse Winery specialties to go with them (which are reasonably priced and come in a wide variety), so it's the perfect place for a special lunch. The restaurant is not large, and even though it's lunch, the preparations are elaborate, so it's not the kind of place you'd go for a quick bite to eat. (Original) 市街そしてメイン通りからは少し離れた住宅街の中にある和食店で初見で辿り着くのは難しいです。 ランチ時は定食を中心に展開されていますが予約メニューとして「コース料理」があります。一品づつ凝った和食が提供されますのでとてもオススメです。それに合わせる小布施ワイナリーの逸品(それも提供価格がリーズナブルで種類も豊富)も揃っていますので特別なランチ時にはもってこいのお店です。 お店は広く無いですしランチといっても手が込んでいますので「さっと食べる」と言う店では無いです。

(Translated by Google) A hidden place with a great atmosphere All of the creative dishes are made with special care, and no matter what you eat, it's always delicious♪ It's the most recommended around here, so I don't want it to become too popular. (Original) とても雰囲気のある隠れ家的な場所 創作料理は全てにおいて一手間加えられており何食べても外す事もなく美味しい♪ この辺りでは一番のオススメだから人気は出過ぎて欲しくない

(Translated by Google) ■2025.06.06 Kama Salt-grilled Set Meal A restaurant in a residential area of ​​Obuse. The house has been renovated using a lot of wood, which makes you feel very relaxed. (It's not too stylish, which is GOOD) As we visited around 7pm, the first floor was full of drinking groups, but we were guided to the second floor. There are various set meals such as seafood, chicken, pork, beef, and soba, but this time I felt like eating fish, so I ordered a kama salt-grilled set meal instead of sashimi. Basic Japanese food, including the price setting, seems more suitable for entertaining than for everyday use. Thank you for the meal. (Original) ■2025.06.06　カマ塩焼き定食 小布施の住宅地のお店。 木材をふんだんに使って一軒家を改装した感じは、気分がとても落ち着きます。 (お洒落過ぎないのがGOOD) 夜7時頃の訪問のため、１階は呑みグループで満席でしたが、２階に案内していただきました。 海鮮系、鶏豚牛の肉系、そばなど色々な定食がありますが、今回は何となく魚が食べたくて、刺身でなくカマ塩焼き定食を注文しました。 ベーシックな和食、価格設定も含めて普段使いよりおもてなしのような席に合うような印象。 ご馳走さまでした。

(Translated by Google) I visited for lunch. Set meals are reasonably priced. The food was wonderful, and the chef's skill and commitment could be seen throughout, even from the restaurant's atmosphere. The thick fried chicken has a soft and juicy texture when you bite into it. This is a Japanese restaurant that I would definitely like to visit again. (Original) ランチに伺いました。定食はリーズナブルな価格です。店の雰囲気からも料理人の技とこだわりが至るところに伺える素晴らしい料理でした。分厚い鶏の唐揚げは、大きな口で頬張ると柔らかくジューシーな食感です。 また是非伺いたい和食処です。

(Translated by Google) I came back from a hot spring in Takayama. When you enter the entrance, it looks like the entrance of a house. You can enjoy your meal in peace as if you were at home somewhere. The menu is extensive, with a variety of set meals and a la carte items, all of which look delicious. This time, after much deliberation, I ordered the kama-shio-yaki set meal and the boiled tofu set meal with meat. The volume and taste were very good! The broth of the boiled tofu is light and has a deep flavor, and the addition of yuzu pepper enhances the flavor.The kama-shio-yaki is perfectly grilled and has a crispy skin, making it the best when eaten with the fish. I want to try other dishes next time. I went there for the first time after relocating in March 2024. I stopped by again on my way back from the hot springs. The store is located one street inward from the previous location.This time, we had the sashimi set meal and the mackerel stick set meal.I originally ordered a different menu, but the mackerel was available in limited quantities. I changed it because I wanted to! Thank you for your prompt change. It was my first time to eat Bo Yasu, but it was delicious because it was so fresh and there was no raw fish, just the right amount of pressure.The sashimi set meal was also delicious and I had a blissful time. There are some menu items that I haven't tried yet, so I'll be visiting again. (Original) 高山の温泉の帰りによりました。 入口を入ると家の玄関の様になっています。どこかの家にいるように落ち着いて食事ができます。 メニューも豊富で各種定食の他に単品もあり、どれも美味しそうです。 今回は悩んだ結果かま塩焼き定食と肉入り湯豆腐定食を注文しました。 ボリュームといい、味といいとても良かった！ 湯豆腐のだしもあっさりしていて味に深みがあり、さらにゆず胡椒を入れると旨みが増します、かま塩焼きは焼き加減も絶妙で皮もパリパリお魚の身と一緒に食すると最高です。次は別の料理も食べたい 2024.3月に移転後に初めて行きました。 またまた温泉の帰りに寄りました、 場所は以前の所から一本内側に入った道に店舗があります、今回はお刺身定食とさばの棒泰定食にしました、当初別のメニューを注文していましたが、数量限定の鯖が食べたくなり変更して頂きました！快く変更して頂き感謝です。棒泰は初めて食べましたが鮮度がいいのか生くさみも無く程度の良い押し加減で美味しく頂きました、刺身定食も美味しく頂き至福の時間でした。 まだ食べていないメニューもありますのでまた伺います。

A must place to go, because you can do a lot of things especially when you're an outdoor person. You can just walk or run out biking also. Perfect place for family or friends to have gatherings. A place where you can find peace. I love this place din much.

Lovely small airport, friendly staff. Easy in and out.

This small airport in Japan is also worthful

(Translated by Google) I stopped by while test driving a car. I applied for a test drive that I could borrow for a few days, and I came here in a test drive car. The parking lot closest to the airport was full, and even though it was a weekday, there were quite a few people using it. I was able to park in the transit plaza right next to it. From here, it's just a 2-3 minute walk to the airport building. There is a memorial tree planted on the way, and a paper airplane-shaped plate made of iron is on it. Depending on how you look at it, the memorial tree looks like Godzilla. Please see the photo. There are souvenir shops and restaurants in the airport, so if you are in the area, it's a good idea to stop by here. There is a Yamabiko Dome and a park around the airport, and it must be very lively when events are held. If you go around to the other side of the airport, you will be able to see the runway from the line of sight. You can also take impressive photos of the planes. If I have the chance next time, I would like to take a leisurely walk on the other side as well. I didn't have much time this time, so I went out to the viewing deck and took photos of the planes. However, suddenly, there was an announcement that the plane was cancelled... I remember someone on the deck asking me again if the announcement was a cancellation and looking very surprised. After the announcement, passengers who had boarded the plane started to disembark, and I thought, this must be a big problem. I think I was there for about 30 minutes net, but since I had to go on to my next appointment, I picked up a tourist guidebook displayed next to the information counter on the first floor and left the airport. If I had the time, I'd like to experience traveling around Japan by connecting airports in other parts of the country. (Original) 車の試乗中に寄りました。数日お借りできる試乗に応募して試乗車で訪れました。空港に1番近い駐車場は満車、平日だけどご利用の方結構居られるのですね。私は直ぐ脇に有るトランジット広場に駐車する事が出来ました。ここからは空港建物まで歩いて2〜3分ほど、直ぐですね。途中記念樹が植えられており、鉄でできた紙飛行機型のプレートが掲げられています。記念樹は見方によってはゴジラの形に見えましたよ。写真をご覧ください。 空港内にはお土産屋さんにお食事どころも有りますので、お近くに来られた際にこちらまで足を伸ばしても良いですね。空港周辺にはやまびこドームや、公園が整備されており催し物が開催されて居る時には大変賑やかな事でしょうね。空港の反対側に回れば滑走路を目線で見る事が出来そうですね。飛行機の迫力の有る写真も撮れそうですよね。次回機会が有ったら反対側もゆっくりと歩いてみたいです。 今回はそれほど時間がないので見送りデッキに出て飛行機の写真を撮って来ましたよ。でも、この飛行機に突然欠航のアナウンスが・・・他にデッキに居た方が私に今の放送は欠航のアナウンスですかと聞き直し、大変びっくりしていたのを思い出します。アナウンス後搭乗なさっていた方々が降りてこられていて、これは大変だなぁと思いました。 正味30分くらいでしょうかね、次の予定が有りますので1Fの案内カウンターの脇に陳列された観光案内をいただき空港を後にしました。余裕が有れば地方の空港を乗り継ぎ日本一周など体験してみたいですね。

(Translated by Google) I used Shinshu Matsumoto Airport in Matsumoto City. While it's compact for a regional airport, the interior is clean, boarding procedures were smooth, and it left an impression of being safe and secure. The parking lot is located in front of the terminal, and its free use is a major attraction. However, depending on the time of day, the front parking lot can be full, in which case you'll need to park in the second parking lot, which is a little further away. Although it's within walking distance, I recommend arriving with plenty of time to avoid being late for your boarding time. The official website also has a live camera that shows the parking lot's congestion status, so it's a good idea to check before you depart. The airport has shops and restaurants, and is stocked with Shinshu local specialties and souvenirs, so you can enjoy a relaxing time before and after your flight. I felt it was a user-friendly and friendly airport, perfect as a base for tourism and business. (Original) 松本市にある「信州まつもと空港」を利用しました。 地方空港としてはコンパクトながら館内は清潔で、搭乗手続きもスムーズに進み、安心して利用できる印象です。 駐車場はターミナル正面にあり、無料で利用できるのが大きな魅力です。 ただし時間帯によっては正面駐車場が満車になることもあり、その際には少し離れた第2駐車場に停める必要があります。 歩いてアクセスできる距離ではありますが、搭乗時間に遅れないよう余裕をもって向かうことをおすすめします。 また、公式サイトには駐車場の混雑状況を確認できるライブカメラも設置されているので、出発前にチェックしておくと安心です。 空港内には売店やレストランがあり、信州ならではの特産品やお土産も揃っていて、フライト前後のひとときも楽しめます。 観光やビジネスの拠点として、利用しやすく親しみやすい空港だと感じました。

(Translated by Google) I used Matsumoto Airport (Shinshu Matsumoto Airport) for a business trip. It's the only airport in Nagano Prefecture, but currently only operated by FDA (Fuji Dream Airlines). It only operates a few routes, such as New Chitose, Kobe, and Fukuoka, and the number of flights is extremely limited, with only one or two round trips per day. It's so inconvenient that I honestly feel like it's on the verge of being shut down. It seems to have a history of being saved by the Shizuoka FDA, but I worry about how long it will last if things continue like this. Perhaps due to the low number of passengers, the terminal was quiet, and there seemed to be few souvenir shops. That said, this airport does have its good points. It's known as the airport with the highest altitude in Japan, and the views from the observation deck are outstanding. The view of planes taking off and landing against the backdrop of the Northern Alps is particularly spectacular during snowy season. The airport's compact size makes it easy to navigate and navigate, which is a plus. And best of all, free parking is a real bonus. However, because the airport is far from Matsumoto city, access to Matsumoto Station and other areas requires a bus, which takes time, so it's undeniably inconvenient. While the views may be irresistible for airplane enthusiasts, I felt it was a tough choice for travelers prioritizing business or convenience. (Original) 出張で松本空港（信州まつもと空港）を利用しました。 長野県唯一の空港ですが、現状、FDA（フジドリームエアラインズ）の便しか飛んでいないという状況です。運行路線も、新千歳、神戸、福岡など数路線のみで、しかも1日1往復や2往復程度と便数が非常に限られています。 利便性が低すぎて、正直「廃止待ったなしではないか？」と感じてしまいます。静岡のFDAに助けられたという歴史があるようですが、このままではいつまで存続できるのか心配になります。利用者が少ないためか、ターミナル内も静かで、お土産店も少ない印象でした。 とはいえ、この空港にも良い点はあります。日本一標高の高い場所にある空港としても知られており、展望デッキからの眺めは抜群です。北アルプスを背景に飛行機が離着陸する景色は、雪が積もる季節などは特に見応えがあります。空港の規模自体はコンパクトで、迷いにくく利用しやすいのはメリットです。そして何より、駐車場が無料なのは非常にありがたいです。 ただ、空港が松本市街地から離れているため、松本駅などへのアクセスはバス必須となり、時間もかかるため、やはり不便さは否めません。飛行機好きには景色がたまらないかもしれませんが、ビジネスや利便性を優先する旅行者には厳しい選択肢だと感じました。

(Translated by Google) It's a small regional airport. Basically only FDA serves the airport, but JAL sometimes operates seasonal flights. FDA flies to Sapporo, Kobe, and Fukuoka, while JAL's seasonal flights seem to be to Itami. There are no flights to Tokyo, perhaps because the distance is too short for a plane. There is a limousine bus to Matsumoto Station, but it takes about 40 minutes. (Original) 地方空港で規模は小さいです。 基本的にFDAのみ就航していますが、季節運航でJALが就航することがあるそうです。 就航地はFDAは札幌、神戸、福岡で、季節運航のJALは伊丹便みたいです。 東京へは飛行機にしては距離が短すぎるからなのか就航していません。 松本駅前までリムジンバスはありますが、大体40分くらい掛かります。
