Lovely island. Ferry is expensive if you take your own car.

Sado Island is a peaceful and stunning getaway off the coast of Niigata. From golden beaches and crystal-clear water to lush mountains and charming villages, every corner feels special. The history here is rich—you can explore old gold mines, atmospheric ruins like the Kitazawa Flotation Plant, and traditional culture that’s been preserved for centuries. The locals are warm and welcoming, and the fresh seafood is amazing. Whether you’re here for nature, history, or just to slow down, Sado Island will stay in your heart long after you leave.

Nice island…beautiful temple….Gold park & Gold mine ..!! The ship price to island is reasonable. Enjoy nature & beautiful scenary here..!!

There are so many cozy, warm and friendly local restaurants here. The locals are also very friendly and accommodating. I hope the population will grow. I would love to stay here again.

Took a ferry here last year. Had a really nice time at the island. And that is a lot of seagulls yes.

Beautiful place for a vacation. Must visit especially if you’re in Niigata.

Had a good time. It was worth traveling all the from Tokyo.

Sado Kinzan Gold Mine is the largest producing gold mine in Japan. At present, this gold mine It has opened as a museum. To provide knowledge to tourists To be able to understand the production methods tools Which is shown with models that can be seen from the Edo period, when manual labor was still used, and the Meiji period. developed to use machines to save energy empoyyee , Inside the air is very cold. The entrance to the inner mine is well done and easy to walk. There is heavy gold that tourists can try lifting. It's very heavy. The souvenir shop sells merchandise only here. I bought gold-infused sake and gold-infused cheesecake. And everyone, don't forget to try it. Golden soft cream too, it was delicious.

A gold mine with a lot of history to escape the summer heat. Inside the mine feels like around 16 degrees, slightly colder than in an air con environment. There are many mannequin robots inside that illustrates the time when miners are still mining for gold in this mine. It show cases the equipment and process that they use to get the gold from deep underground. The are 2 routes, the Sodayu right route is about 400m and the Doyu left route is about 1.5km. At the end of both route is a museum and souvenir shop where there is a real gold bar for visitors to try lift it up. The souvenirs are mainly packaged in gold themed packaging and there is also a shop beside that sells ice cream with gold flakes. It was an interesting experience, I find that the museum was less crowded during lunch time (12pm - 1pm) Visited 2 Aug 2025

Walk through an era of time deep inside the mines. The mine is well explained with different activities that used to happen for the mining of gold. It's quite cold inside the mines. Was interesting to know that battery powered trains were used in those times to extract the ore from the mines. There is a small cafe that serves gold infused coffee.

I love the whole scenery. Very fresh and peaceful. The staff was very helpful. She explained in English and suggested we choose Sodayu tunnel first (¥1,000) and if we want to do another one, we could at the price of ¥1,500. It is pretty cold inside the tunnel so please bring light jacket. Sodayu tunnel would take approximately 30 minutes. Each stop has descriptions in both Japanese and English. I read somewhere that there would be a complimentary tour guide but there was not. I saw there was audio available but without headsets. Maybe if you bring own headsets, you could listen through wifi and bluetooth. I wish I had more time to explore another tunnel and the whole area.

The core of the issue is Japan's failure to honor the public promise it made upon the 2015 UNESCO World Heritage inscription of its "Sites of Japan's Meiji Industrial Revolution." 1. The Promise (2015) In 2015, when Japan applied to have 23 of its modern industrial facilities, including Hashima Island (commonly known as "Battleship Island"), listed as World Heritage Sites, it faced strong opposition. The South Korean government highlighted the painful history of Korean forced labor at seven of these sites. Facing international criticism, the Japanese representative at the UNESCO meeting made a public statement to the international community, promising to take measures to allow an understanding that "a large number of Koreans and others were brought against their will and forced to work under harsh conditions in the 1940s at some of the sites." Japan also pledged to establish an information center to commemorate the victims. The World Heritage inscription was approved on the condition of this promise. 2. Breach of Promise and Historical Distortion However, Japan has not fulfilled this commitment. * Distorted Information Center: In 2020, the Japanese government opened the "Industrial Heritage Information Centre" in Tokyo. Contrary to its purpose, the center does not tell the story of forced labor. Instead, it exclusively glorifies the industrial achievements of the Meiji era. More critically, it displays testimonies and materials that effectively deny that forced labor occurred, directly violating the promise to honor the victims and representing a serious distortion of history. * Absence of On-Site Information: At the actual heritage sites, including Battleship Island, there are no signs, memorials, or explanations acknowledging the history of forced labor. Visitors are presented only with a narrative of Japan's industrial prowess, leaving them completely unaware of the tragic human rights abuses and forced mobilization that formed the dark side of that history. 3. International Criticism In response, the UNESCO World Heritage Committee adopted resolutions in both 2021 and 2023 expressing its "strong regret" over Japan's failure to implement its promise. The Committee has repeatedly called on Japan to faithfully fulfill its commitment to commemorating the victims and to present a balanced and comprehensive history. Despite this, Japan has yet to take any meaningful action. In conclusion, Japan made a solemn promise to the international community to acknowledge its history of forced labor in order to secure a prestigious diplomatic achievement. However, once the sites were inscribed, it reneged on that promise and is now actively promoting a distorted version of history. This has drawn criticism for undermining the authority and spirit of UNESCO and for being an unethical stance that disregards the suffering of its victims.

Well worth the price of admission. It’s relatively short, which is nice because a lot of the mining museums in Japan have really long tunnels with nothing in them, but this was packed with stuff. The animatronics were really endearing and some of them were really funny, and the miniature models at the end were incredible. The gift shop has a lot of cool and affordable omiyage if you need to get something from Sado. I came to Sado for astrophotography but this was a really fun thing to do when it was overcast during the day. If you come to Sado and it’s raining this is a must.

I wonderful historical sightseeing location. Both mines are very well kept and the staff is very helpful and polite. The admission price is definitely worth the money especially if you're doing both mines. The restrooms are very clean and the minds themselves are not very slippery due to the wet flooring. I highly recommend going to both mines if you're thinking about visiting the location.

It is a life time experience. we really enjoyed a lot, that collecting gold from dust. Must visited place. highly recommended this one. the staff actually showed how to collect raw gold from dust.

The place tells us the history related to gold in Sado Island. And you can dig your own gold out of here, which is fun. But you will understand the difficulty of gold digging. They give u 30 minutes for digging and I only got 3 particles only. You can buy a pendent and put the gold you find in that also.

You get to see many gold related products and raw gold flakes. You also get to try a hands on experience in panning for gold in a course of your choice . The gold you managed to pan can then be made into an accessory of your choice for a small fee

Fun here searching for gold dust. Either take the collected dust as it is or can put those in key ring for 1500 Yen. Entrance fee is reasonable.

I'm a gold panner from England and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience panning on site, found 11 pieces of gold😊 my family also found similar amounts, I also enjoyed the displays of rocks, tools etc.

A little pricey for the content of the museum, but the experience of panning for gold is quite rewarding.

A great experience panning for gold. It's all in Japanese but the staff will happily help you to find gold

It was ok for a quick visit but underwhelming. There’s just a few explanation plates and that is pretty much it. You can’t walk in the structures only take photographs from afar, so there is that too. It’s ok to see it on your way after the gold mine (and it is open 24h), but I wouldn’t make a big detour for it or plan much time there.

On July 29, 2025, my wife and I drove here. We were happy that entry was free. My wife imagined that they were like castles in the air. Learning that the site were being lit up at night. We joined a tour night tour to come again. The sight and sound were underwhelming. All left in less than 10 minutes.

It is ok for a quick visit. Nothing much around here so it might be nice to come when the cafe Kitazawa Terrace is open. We went when cafe was close so nothing much to hold us here longer than 30 minutes. You can finish this off even less than 10 minutes if you are not keen for photos.

Visiting the Kitazawa Flotation Plant felt like stepping into a real-life Ghibli scene. The massive concrete ruins covered in moss are both haunting and beautiful, telling the story of Sado’s gold-mining past. I went during the evening light-up, and the glowing colors made the whole place magical. It’s free to visit, easy to walk around, and great for photos. If you have time, grab a coffee at the nearby Kitazawa Terrace café for an amazing view of the ruins. Highly recommend for history lovers, photographers, or anyone who enjoys unique, atmospheric spots.

This attraction was a facility used to processed ores from the gold mine in the past. Now it is abandoned at a sightseeing spot for tourists. This location is beside the road to the gold mine, I dropped by after visiting the gold mine. It is a pretty cool spot with all the overgrown vegetation. It looks like Lapyuta the floating castle from the film made by Gibli studio. It was pretty hot in summer and there's a cafe near this attraction where you can have food after walking around. I was tempted to visit at night but I am not really sure what time the illumination ends. Visited 2 Aug 2025

The light show on the building does not look like the advertisement. It was bright light instead of colored light

Nice! It’s a valid example of how nature can reclaim its spaces

On July 29, 2025, my wife and I drove here primarily for lunch. Visiting just the observational point costed 500 yen/head. I tried to have a feel of rowing a tub boat but was going nowhere. Fortunately, I tried the real one elsewhere later on.

One of the most beautiful places in Sado Island. The view of the Sea of Japan is mesmerising. There is boat ride that can be taken while you are at there, additional tickets need to be taken, is a must recommended experience to try. Right before you board the boat but the shrimp crackers they sell over there. The sea gull follow you while on the boat and you can feed them the shrimp crackers. The boat also guides you to show the local marine life though the glass bottom view from the boat. There is a small restaurant and souvenir shop as well.

The boat ride is amazing. The fee for the boat ride and entry is around 1100 yen per person. You can cover this area in 1 hour. Free wifi is available.

The view were scenic, the boat ride was not very fantastic as the sea was very choppy when we visit. Remember to check the sea conditions before deciding to take the boat ride, otherwise is a waste of money

I was a bit surprised that you had to pay to enter. But the small aquarium was nice. And the bay and lighthouse are good photo spots.

Really beautiful place. Please visit it if you planning to go to Sado Island

Amazing scenery, absolutely gorgeous place to visit.

Might be worth visiting if you’ve time. Not particularly well maintained but it does have a certain grandness with the cedar tree lined entrance.

Very nice

Under maintenance

(Translated by Google) There is no sign for the parking lot, but there is an entrance a little past the mountain gate. (I have attached a photo of the entrance.) The road is a little uneven, so low-riding cars may scrape. It is a fascinating place that makes you feel as if you have wandered into the depths of Sado, which shows many different faces. When I visited, there was a beehive on the right side of the approach, so be careful. Aside from the stage, the carvings of the storehouse and the surrounding buildings are also worth seeing. (Original) 駐車場は表記はありませんが山門の少し先に入り口があります。(入り口の写真を載せておきます)少し凸凹なので車高の低い車は擦るかもしれません。色々な表情を見せる佐渡の深部に迷い込んだような感覚に陥る趣深い場所です。 訪問した当時参道の右側に蜂の巣が出来ていたのでお気をつけください。 舞台？以外にも蔵の彫り込み？や周辺の建物も一見の価値ありです。

(Translated by Google) It was a quiet place with lots of greenery and a charming atmosphere. The stairs to the main gate were bumpy and mossy, probably pushed up by tree roots, which added to the charm, but my family has weak knees so it seemed a bit difficult. There were also stairs to the Noh stage in the back. It was difficult to find where the parking lot was. (Original) 緑の多い静かなところで趣のある佇まいでした。山門への階段は木の根で押し上げられているのかガタガタで苔むして風情を感じましたが、家族が膝が弱いので少し大変そうでした。奥の能の舞台へもまた階段があります。駐車場がどこにあるのか分かりづらいです。

(Translated by Google) I visited on a weekday morning. The entrance has a very mystical atmosphere. The slightly warped stairs with moss growing on them were also nice. The main hall is also nice in that it is not modernized. There is no parking lot, so please be careful not to disturb the neighbors. (Original) 平日の午前中に訪問しました。入り口からとても神秘的な雰囲気です。階段も少し歪んでコケが生えているのがまた良かったです。本堂？も現代的に整備されていないのがいいですね。駐車場らしきものがないので、絶対にご近所の迷惑にならないように気をつけましょう。

(Translated by Google) It was really beautiful. I wonder if it's no longer in use? The area that resembles the stage at Kiyomizu Temple has been repaired, but the rest of it seems unused. It's like going back in time. Perhaps due to the earthquake, the stone steps are wobbly, so be careful. To get to the parking lot, you have to climb the slope next to it. (Original) とても素敵でした。 もう使ってないのかな？ 清水の舞台みたいな所は直してあるけど、他は使ってない感じでした。 時代が巻き戻ったみたい。 地震の影響？なのか、石段がガタガタなので気をつけた方がいいです 駐車場は横にあるる坂道を登っていきます。

Inside there is a convenience store so you can buy and eat there. There is a tourist information center also. Clean and the washrooms are good. The map shows all the tourist spots and activities you can find in sado island. The port is systematic.

Houses multiple souvenir shops, some F&B places, a bus stop for the Sado Island tour buses (bookings can be made here), a taxi spot in case you want to head off immediately, and the Sado Tourism Association. You'll definitely have to come here if you want to go to Sado Island in the first place, but the aforementioned services will be very helpful to your holiday in Sado Island if you know what kind of holiday you want.

Sado Kisen Ferrari goes to Niigata port to Ryotsu port. Ryotsu port is bigger than Ogi port. People in tourist information centre are very friendly. There are many omiyagi ( souvenirs ) shops around the port. Toilet are really clean. There are no many shops outside the Ryotsu port specially in weekdays. There are many car rental companies around the port. There is a bus stop and most of busses goes via Kanai.

Large port from Niigata and plenty of restaurant, shop and necessary facilities for tourist.

(Translated by Google) The gateway to Sado. On this trip, we entered by car ferry and exited by jetfoil. There is also a dining area, souvenir area, and waiting area, so I think it is a nice facility where you can relax while waiting. (Original) 佐渡の玄関口。今回の旅では、カーフェリーで入り、ジェットフォイルで出ることとなりました。食事スペース、お土産スペース、待機スペースもあり、待ち時間をゆっくり過ごせるいい施設だと思います。

(Translated by Google) Having fun to the fullest on Sado Island can make you feel a little lonely. The scenery from the ferry is also exquisite. Ferry's ramen was also delicious! (Original) 佐渡島で思いっきり楽しむと少し寂しくなります。フェリーからの風景も絶品。 フェリーのラーメンも美味しかったです！

(Translated by Google) We took the jetfoil and the steamship. The jetfoil had fixed seats so we couldn't see the scenery and it wasn't very interesting. On the other hand, the steamship allowed us to walk around the ship freely so we could enjoy the scenery from various angles. When some foreign tourists were happily throwing food at the seagulls, a horde of birds came close to us which was quite interesting. (Original) ジェットフォイルと汽船を利用しました。 ジェットフォイルは座席が固定されているため、景色を見ることができず、面白くなかったです。 一方で汽船は、船の中を自由に歩き回れるので、さまざまな角度から景色を楽しむことができました。 外国人観光客がワイワイとカモメにえさを撒いていたら、大量の鳥が間近に押し寄せて来て結構面白かったです。

Great view, amazing place to visit but be aware of long stairs to go down and up. If you are not confident in your knee, it’s not really a place to visit. “Beach” might be good for snorkeling but it’s very dirty. Probably a spot where all trash flows in with tides. I’ve seen better places to swim on this island, but worth a visit just for quick walk.

The beach at Futatsugame on Sado Island is one of my favorite beaches in Niigata. The water is clear, clean and refreshing. The view is beautiful at sunrise and sunset and you feel completely comfortable, relaxed and connected to the Sea of Japan. I was fortunate there weren't any big crowds, noise or disruptions and I really realized how tranquil, mezmorizing and beautiful Sado Island is. I really appreciated the kindness of the locals their and really appreciate and respect this area. I look forward to going there again sometime soon, maybe in the fall or early summer again.

This beach was an awesome way to relax in the ocean. You park by the hotel, grab your stuff, then walk down about 350 (!) steps to the beach. There’s a grassy area where you can set up at sun shade/relax on the grass as down at the beach it’s pretty rocky. At the beach area there was a restroom open but the shower room were locked - maybe cuz it was a weekday when we visited? Plus of it being a weekday was there were only 4 other people here so it was like we had a private beach. The water is crystal clear and the high salt content means it’s easy to tread water/float. You will need water shoes/sandals and it’d be nice to have snorkel gear or floaties to relax more in the water. But even without snorkel gear you will see fish swimming below you a bit. The water was pretty calm/flat here too. We spent a couple hours just relaxing and enjoying the water. This is one of the top 100 beaches in Japan and well worth the drive. If you want to stay longer you can camp here or book a room at the hotel here.

Beautiful clear water pebble laid beach where you can camp or just enjoy playing around. Its a really beautiful place but in July and August it is too hot. If you are sensitive to extremely hot weather it is better to avoid peak summer. Instead June will be the best time to go.

Beautiful view of both the Futatsu Game and Ohno Game. There is a camping ground where many people can set up their tents and enjoy swimming at the beach nearby. However, there was a lot of plastic garbage all over the beach! It was carried by the currents of different countries such as Russia, Korea, China and Japan.

Follow a narrow path to some stairs and follow them down. Beautiful view. Beach is a bit dirty unfortunately. Quite a hike up the stairs on a hot summer day

Futatsugame, Sado Island’s Hidden Gem for Epic Views. Spontaneous journeys to Sado, anytime.

I haven't been here, but I just watched the 1969 film "Goyokin" directed by Hideo Gosha. The film seems to have been shot at Onogame in winter, and it looks incredible.

We arrived in the late afternoon. Driving north along the coast from Sado Kinzan, we saw many uniquely shaped rocks and beautiful coastlines along the way. But when we reached Ōnogame, its grandeur was truly overwhelming—it didn’t feel like we were on a small island like Sado anymore, but rather at the edge of some distant continent. As it was close to sunset, I considered whether it was possible to climb to the summit, but didn’t get as far as looking for a route. If conditions allow and the difficulty isn’t too high, I’d love to climb to the top someday.

A short drive from the famous Futatsugame beach. It is a relaxing hiking area, in June the area will be covered with yellow blooms. Which is a super photographic view. You can have a really nice view of ocean from the trail. But this place gets super hot in summer, so please take care. If you are weak to heat like me go there in June. You will be able to enjoy the place thoroughly.

On July 29, 2025, my wife and I drove here. Apart from the landscape, there wasn’t much to see. We stayed around 10 minutes.

We stopped off here on our drive to Futatsugame Beach. There’s a really nice walking path that goes all around the coast and in the center is an area that in spring is full of lilies. You can also walk up to the shrine with the rope between the rocks. A gorgeous area and nice stop off if you want to stretch your legs. There’s also a restroom and across the road a small hotel that I think serves lunch but we didn’t go in. The more adventurous can hike all the way up Onogame Island. The lilies bloom from late May to early June.

Ono-Kame means a giant grass turtle. Yes it truly looks like it. From the lodge just next to the spot, you can see turtle’s head and back covered by grasses! Very peaceful place colores by green grasses and blue sea:)

If you go to sado island you must visit this place. This is one of the most beautiful sea scape of sado island. There is trail to the top of the mountain as well.

The quality of the fish is excellent! I loved the sushi chefs, they were very kind and knowledgeable.

OMG this restaurant actually became the highlight of my trip. This place serves such an amazing quality of fish including local ingredients. More than anything, the prices of all of them are so reasonable!! This quality of fish would cost 5 times more in Tokyo. Tho don’t expect any real service or friendly-ness. Purely go for great quality cheap sushi. Awesome place. Highly recommended.

Absolutely delicious. Fantastic quality sushi and really good value. The otoro just melts in your mouth. Tip - come early for lunch or dinner or be prepared to wait. We visited during golden week so that may have increased the usual volume of customers

This conveyor belt sushi restaurant is one of the top ranking sushi restaurants in Niigata Prefecture or in Japan. They buy fish from Sadogashima every morning, so the sushi items are really fresh and delicious! On top of that, the prices are very reasonable✨ However, because it is a very famous restaurant, the queue is too long... They don't take reservations either, so if you're going to the restaurant on the weekend, you'll have to get in line at least 30 minutes before the opening time or you'll be waiting a long time. If you can't get a chair, you can get a ticket and go to the seafood market or cafe next door to kill time until you get a call 😊

It was a decent Sushi train restaurant. Wait times weren't super long and you could get a number from the ticket machine just like Kura Sushi. Though, I felt like it was a teensy bit pricey for it's taste. Otherwise, there was a great chance to try the local fish here

All of their menu’s price are reasonable! Fresh and great qualities.

Perfectly fine for adults-only groups, wouldn't recommend it for people with young kids. While we understand shops having rules against outside food, this was the first place we saw trying to enforce it for food for a 16-month-old. The sushi was fine but the lady who tried to forbid us from feeding the kid what the kid likes is an idiot. We ended up buying a sushi plate and mashing it up for the kid to placate the lady.

Quality of the fishes were top quality and the yellowtail cutlet is a must try. Parking is however quite limited.

Fantastic! I never had ramen at a sushi restaurant, but it was very good! Try sushi, buri katsu and ramen!

We arrived at 11 am and the place was full at 11:30am. A lot of locals and tourists at the restaurant. One of the most popular sushi restaurants in Sado Island. We ordered the 3000 yen amakase set, its also called chefs recommendation and they pick the best cuts of sushi. There were 3 sushi chefs and the omakase (chefs recommendation) is made by head chef and the average and good sushi sets are made by the second chef. The sushi cuts were very good but I think it’s difficult to taste the difference for average sushi eaters. I would recommend the 1900-2500 yen sushi+ramen set which comes with average togood grade sushi and one bowl of ramen.

Tried osusume sushi (3000¥), was regular good. Lunch time was very busy, so orders take time

The best sushi and ramen you can eat in the island dont even doubt for a second and come here! 3 generation ramen recipe!

We were recommended to come here by a local ♡ We arrived around 1pm and was able to sit down right away. Immediately, the chefs are welcoming and start conversing with you. The sushi set they recommended at fish of the day as well as fish in season. Absolutely delicious! Some fish just melts in your mouth! I recommend checking this place out :) it is totally worth it!

Chōzaburōzushi served some great buri-katsudon!

Perfectly ordinary food with no complaints, some of it more expensive than would normally expect, but that's "island price" for you. Otherwise there is a kitsch interior, a variety of foods, and friendly staff, all with the atmosphere of an American diner. We were recommended this place by a local, though I think it was less for the food and atmosphere and more for the convenience of the location and timeframe we were operating with. Otherwise it is completely adequate, and would have no problems going again, just that I would not rave about it

(Translated by Google) Restaurant Kosado in Sado City is a restaurant where you can enjoy Sado beef. The hamburger steak doesn't seem to be made from Sado beef, but it's exquisite, and the rich sauce brings out the flavor of the meat, making it an unforgettable taste. The fresh vegetables on the side were delicious, and the overall balance of the dish was great! What's more, the fluffy rice that is unique to Sado makes the meal even more special. For dessert, I ordered the ``Mix Parfait Jigokumori''. You may be surprised at how impressive it looks, but it's enough for one person to eat, and it's perfect for those with a sweet tooth. The large fried shrimp that other customers were eating was also appealing, and I would definitely like to try it next time. Delivery time is a little slow. (Original) 佐渡市の「レストラン こさど」は、佐渡牛を楽しめるお店です。 ハンバーグは佐渡牛ではないみたいですが絶品で、濃厚なソースが肉の旨みを引き立て、一度食べたら忘れられない味わいです。付け合わせの新鮮な野菜も美味しく、料理全体のバランスが素晴らしいです！さらに、佐渡ならではのふっくらとしたご飯が食事をより特別なものにしてくれます。 デザートは、「ミックスパフェ地獄盛り」を注文しました。見た目の迫力に驚きますが、1人でしっかり食べきれる量で、甘党にはたまりません。他のお客様が食べていた大きなエビフライも魅力的で、次回はぜひ試してみたいところです。提供時間が少し遅めです。

(Translated by Google) There are not many restaurants in the area where you can taste the rare Sado beef, which has strict brand regulations, so ``Kosado'' is your only choice. Served with sirloin steak, I honestly couldn't imagine how delicious it would be. The keema curry made with 100% Sado beef has an elegant taste, and the hamburger steak, which is not Sado beef but has been popular since its establishment, is authentic.You can choose the size, so if you can share with side orders, we recommend it. All are of high quality. Everything inside the restaurant has a sophisticated atmosphere, and you can order take-out items such as homemade sweets for dessert and roasted drip coffee without any hesitation. Although it was a casual restaurant, it was established 45 years ago and is a well-known restaurant that has never gone out of style. (Original) ブランドに厳格な規定のある希少な佐渡牛を味わえる店は地元でもあまりないそうでこちら一択と言ってもいい『こさど』。ステーキをサーロインで供し正直これほど期待以上の美味しさとは思いもせぬほど。 佐渡牛100%のキーマカレーも上品な味で、佐渡牛ではないものの創業以来人気というハンバーグステーキも本格的、サイズを選べるのでサイドオーダーでシェアできるならオススメ。どれもクオリティ高し。 洗練された店内の雰囲気まますべてに感じよく、デザートの自家製スイーツや焙煎ドリップコーヒーなどテイクアウトでの注文も引きも切らずのよう。カジュアルながら創業45年の格式に古びぬ名店でした。

(Translated by Google) I was craving Saga beef steak, so I researched the place and visited. Since beef was out of my budget, I ordered the pork steak (ginger pork) set... It was absolutely delicious❗️The prices seemed reasonable for everything except the Saga beef steak. I had plans later, so I only went for the meal, but the cake was also tempting😍 Maybe it was a girl's first day working there? I wish I'd said something to ease her nerves, like a nosy old lady (lol). (Original) 佐賀牛ステーキを食べたくて、調べて訪店。 予算的にビーフに手が出せず、ポークステーキ(しょうが焼き)セットをいただきましたが… めちゃくちゃ美味しかったです❗️お値段も佐賀牛ステーキ以外はリーズナブルに感じました。 後の予定が詰まっていたので食事だけで出てしまいましたが、ケーキも魅力的だったなぁ😍 バイト初めの女の子かな？緊張ほぐれるように声かければ良かったな〜とおせっかいおばさん(笑)

(Translated by Google) This Western restaurant is located on Sado Island. You can eat rare Sado beef here. It was a little pricey, so I had the curry made with minced Sado beef. It was really tasty with a nice spice. The home-roasted coffee was also very good, so I ended up buying some beans. It's a great value. By the way, the curry spoons are made in Tsubame-Sanjo, approved by Tamio Okuda 🤭 (Original) 佐渡島にある洋食レストラン。ここでは希少な佐渡牛が食べられます。ちょっとお値段が高かったので佐渡牛のミンチを使ったカレーを食べました。スパイスが効いていて本当に美味しかったです。また自家焙煎のコーヒーもとても美味しくて豆を購入しちゃいました。とてもお値打ちです。ちなみにカレースプーンは奥田民生さんが認めた燕三条製です🤭

(Translated by Google) I went there to try the rare Sado beef. Only sirloin steaks are served with Sado beef, and you can choose from 120g, 240g, or 360g. This time I chose the 240g, which was quite filling! I wasn't able to make a reservation during Golden Week, so I arrived a little before opening time and, although there were two other groups of customers ahead of me, I was able to enter the restaurant smoothly. The parking lot is a little far away, but it is spacious and there is plenty of room. (Original) 希少な佐渡牛を食すべく行って来ました。 佐渡牛はサーロインステーキのみの提供です、120ｇ、240ｇ、360ｇと選べます、今回は240ｇを選びましたがボリュームありますね！ GW中で予約が出来なかったので営業時間少し前に到着すると2組ほど先客があったもののスムーズに入店出来ました。 駐車場は若干離れていますが広めで余裕がありました。

(Translated by Google) In a relaxed atmosphere, we enjoyed a Sado beef steak (sirloin). It came with salad and miso soup (you can change it to homemade corn potage for an additional 500 yen). You can choose how it's cooked and seasoned (salt and pepper) or demi-glace sauce. Other delicious and reasonably priced set menu items include a 150g hamburger steak for 1,200 yen, 100% Sado beef keema curry (with salad) for 1,600 yen, and Tsunan pork loin Japanese-style tonkatsu (with special Sado miso sauce) for 1,270 yen. It was definitely a place worth visiting if you're ever on Sado. Parking is available, and there's also accommodation on site. (Original) 落ち着いた雰囲気の中で、佐渡牛のステーキ(サーロイン)をいただきました。 サラダ・味噌汁(プラス500円で自家製コーンポタージュに変更できます) 焼き方を選び 味付け(塩・胡椒)かデミグラスソースになっています。 他には、セットメニューでハンバーグステーキ150g 1200円や佐渡牛100％ キーマカレー(サラダ付き)1600円や津南ポークロースの和風とんかつ(特製佐渡味噌タレ)1270円など お手頃な価格の美味しいお料理が有ります。 また、是非とも佐渡に足を運び訪れたいお見せでした。 駐車場も有ります。宿泊施設も併設していました。

Nice place to pick up Sedo saki and candies before getting on the ferry. Went to the restaurant, 3rd floor, and had fish curry, not too bad. Service was good. Bathrooms are in 1st floor and ok and clean. Old school squatting toilets with one modern. Not wheel chair accessible.

good

(Translated by Google) It's connected to Ogi Port, so it's easy to stop by! Many rare souvenirs that can only be purchased here✨ There is also a MUJI corner with a good selection of products♪ Maybe it was just a coincidence, but it was pretty quiet in the morning, so it was easy to shop 😉 There is an eat-in space, perfect for a break! You can buy Sado Dairy's soft serve ice cream and coffee at the shop inside the store, so it's a good place to take a break 🍦☕️ (Original) 小木港と繋がっていて、立ち寄りやすい！ こちらでしか購入できない珍しいお土産多数✨ また、無印良品コーナーもあり品揃え良き♪ たまたまなのか、午前中は結構閑散としている様子で、お買い物しやすかった😉 休憩には丁度よく、イートインスペースあります！ 店内の売店では、佐渡乳業のソフトクリームやコーヒーを購入できるので、ひと息つくには良きですね🍦☕️

(Translated by Google) I visited this place on a Sado day trip tour. The yellowtail cutlet bowl was delicious! It wasn't oily and easy to eat, so I was very satisfied! The portion was a little large, but it was delicious. (Original) 佐渡日帰り満喫ツアーで訪れました。ブリカツ丼おいしかったです！油っぽくなくて食べやすくて満足！！ちょっと量は多かったけど美味しく食べられました。

(Translated by Google) ~Ogi Port Sado Specialty: Deep-fried Yellowtail Donburi~ Sado Natural Deep-fried Yellowtail Donburi - 1850 yen Six pieces of deep-fried yellowtail are generously spread over the rice. The fish is golden and crispy, juicy and flavorful, without any fishy smell, resembling a delicate mullet. The rice is generous, but perfectly cooked (there's nothing to complain about with Japanese rice), and the sweet sauce goes really well with the rice. The set includes a bowl of miso soup, a plate of sweet and soft kelp, and half a frozen persimmon with the skin on. The persimmon is unique; frozen, it tastes like fruit sorbet. Sado Coho Salmon Lemon Cold Noodles + a Slice of Deep-fried Yellowtail Donburi Mini - 1800 yen The salmon has a slight fishy smell but is incredibly tender. The broth is refreshing and cool without being bland, with a balanced salty and savory flavor. The lemon juice creates a sweet and sour, savory, and savory flavor. The noodles are springy and chewy, with a nice texture. A bowl of this is incredibly refreshing in the summer. Overall, I think it's worth trying, but not a must-see. If you're in Omoko Port, you can definitely try it, but you don't need to make the extra trip.

(Translated by Google) It's on the third floor, so take the elevator. It was a hot September day, so I ordered chilled ramen. It was my first time trying chilled ramen, and it was light yet flavorful. The salmon had no strong fishy smell, and it was delicious with lemon. I highly recommend it. (Original) 3階にありますのでエレベーターで向かいましょう。9月の猛暑日だったので，冷やしラーメンを頂きました。冷やしラーメンは初めてだったのですが，薄味だがしっかりとした味があり，サーモンも臭みが無く，レモンを添えて食べると最高でした。お勧めの逸品です。

GOOD!!

good soba restaurant (520 jpy per serving)

(Translated by Google) A soba restaurant in Minamisado, famous for soba, that has been operating for five generations in a valuable Meiji period building. I had been looking for an opportunity to go there for a long time, but I learned that it closed in September 2014. I had heard that it was run by an elderly couple, so I thought it would never come back, but I heard that it had been reopened by reservation only since April 2015, so I went to see it right away. With permission, I took a photo of the building's explanation posted inside the store, so please take a look. Around the same time that Kanayama was designated as a World Heritage Site, the Ogi townscape was also designated as an Important Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings, but since there are only a limited number of facilities where you can tour the interior, I am very grateful that it has been revived like this. The menu is simple Mori Soba only, and the price has been changed to 650 yen per cup. Although it is a little far away, there is a parking lot. This is a place you want to go to to fully enjoy Sado's traditions, architecture, and atmosphere. (Original) 蕎麦が名物の南佐渡にて、貴重な明治建築の建物で5代続くお蕎麦屋さん。 ずっと行く機会を探ってましたが24年9月で閉店と知り、高齢のご夫婦が営むと聞いていたのでもう復活は無いだろうと思っていましたが、25年4月から予約制で復活されたとのことで早速伺ってきました。 許可をいただき店内に掲示してある建物の解説書を撮影したのでご覧ください。 金山の世界遺産認定と同じ頃に小木の町並みも重要伝統的建造物群保存地区に認定されましたが、内部を見学できる施設は数が限られているためこうして復活してくれたのはとても有り難いです。 メニューはシンプルなもりそばのみ、価格は一杯650円に変更となっています。 すこし離れた場所ですが駐車場もあり。 佐渡の伝統・建築・雰囲気をトータルで楽しみに行きたい場所です。

(Translated by Google) This soba restaurant is the best in Japan! This is one of the shops I always visit when I go to Sado. We have soba noodles and dashi soup that can only be tasted here. The soup stock is carefully made one by one by grilling the sardines over charcoal. (I heard from the person himself) The only unfortunate thing is that it will close in September 2024... Please note that reservations are required when you go! Also, my grandmother is running the business by herself. Please allow plenty of time. You can only place the first order, and no additional orders can be made. Even women can eat 2-3 cups, so please give it a try! (Original) ここの蕎麦屋は日本一！ 佐渡に行く際には必ず通うお店の一つで ここでしか味わえない蕎麦と出汁があります。 出汁は鰯を炭で焼いて一つ一つ丁寧に作られているそうです。(ご本人から伺いました) ただ残念なのは2024年9月で閉店するという話でした... 行く際には予約必須ですのでお気をつけください！ また、おばあさん1人で切り盛りしてますので 時間に余裕を持って行ってください。 注文の仕方としては最初の1回のみで、追加注文はできません。 女性でも2-3杯は食べられますのでぜひ行ってみてください！

(Translated by Google) This is a restaurant where you can eat traditional, authentic handmade soba from Sado Island. I don't think there are many restaurants where you can eat soba that is as authentic as this one. The firmness of the noodles and the chin soup stock are just right, and the taste is memorable. However, my grandfather and grandmother, who are quite old, are running the store, so I don't want to push myself too hard. One serving of soba is small, so when ordering two or three, it's better to order the amount you want at once. It comes in a bowl similar to Wanko Soba. The temperature of the soup is low, using Sado's unique Ago soup stock, so there is no need to worry about it spreading. When I tried to order more soba noodles, I was told, ``It's going to take a long time,'' and I quickly moved on to the next customer without stopping. It seems that during busy times, it is difficult to place additional orders. Also, I had to wait in the aisle for about 7 minutes because the timing of paying at the checkout was bad. I thought it would be a good idea to match the timing of ordering and payment to the flow of the store (e.g. when the food is served). It seems like a good idea to visit with the intention of eating delicious soba while being considerate of the grandmothers and grandfathers who run the store. According to a friend, about 30 or 40 years ago, when Ogi was still flourishing as a tourist destination, there were some shopkeepers in Shichiemon, and there were many shops around this street, such as Kagura-ya and Kaneko-ya. Apparently it was busy. (Original) 佐渡島に伝わる昔ながらの本物の手打ちそばを食べられるお店です。 なかなか、ここまで本格的な蕎麦を食べられるお店は無いように思います。 麺のコシ、つゆのアゴ出汁もほどよく、記憶に残る味です。 ただ、だいぶ高齢のおじいちゃん、おばあちゃんがお店を切り盛りしているので、無理は言わないようにしたいです。 お蕎麦１つは量が少ないので、２つ、３つと、注文の時は、食べたい量を一度に頼んだ方が良いようです。 わんこ蕎麦のようなお椀で出てきます。 佐渡独特のアゴ出汁のつゆで温度も低く、伸びる心配はないようです。 追加でお蕎麦を頼もうとしたら「すごく時間かかりますよ」と言われ、立ち止まることもなく、さっと次のお客様の対応に行ってしまいました。 どうも多忙な時間帯は、追加の注文は厳しいようです。 また会計時の支払いもタイミングが悪かったため、7分くらい通路で待ちました。 注文、会計のタイミングなど、お店のおばあちゃんの流れ（配膳終わりなど）に合わせるようにすると良いかなと思いました。 お店のおばあちゃん、おじいちゃんに配慮しつつ、美味しいお蕎麦をいただくつもりで訪問すると良さそうです。 友人の話によると、3、40年ほど前、まだ小木が観光地として栄えていた頃は七右衛門にも店員さんが何人かいたらしく、茣蓙屋さん、金子屋さんなど、この通り界隈もかなり賑わっていたらしいです。

(Translated by Google) this is! It's not soba, To say that this soba is delicious, I don't think you have ever eaten really delicious soba. Sado is full of delicious food, but this is a blemish. You can't go unless you make a reservation (this doesn't matter and it's not a hassle) The most important part is the soba! I would say it's not delicious, or rather, it's at a level where you shouldn't pay for it. The chin soup stock is delicious, but... (Original) これは！蕎麦じゃない、 この蕎麦を美味しいって、言うのは本当に美味しい蕎麦を食べたことないだろうと思う。 佐渡は美味しい物だらけなのに、これは汚点です。 予約しないと行けない、（これはどうでも良くて手間でも無い） 肝心のそばが！美味しく無いって言うか、お金を取ってはいけないレベルです。 あご出汁はピカイチ美味しいけど、、

(Translated by Google) This is a soba restaurant I've always wanted to visit. It's about a 10-minute walk from Ogi Port. Amidst a nostalgic townscape that makes you feel like you've traveled back in time, the restaurant's historic facade makes you feel like you've traveled back in time. I arrived at 11 a.m. when it opened. I nervously stepped through the curtain. Because I hadn't made a reservation... (Apparently reservations are required.) There were no customers yet, and the proprietress came from the back... "I don't have a reservation, is that okay?" I asked, to which she replied, "We're OK now." For some reason, her kind words made me happy. When I entered the restaurant, there were table seats and a tatami room in the back that could seat about eight people. When I sat down at the table, I was served hot tea. A stove was lit inside, making it warm and cozy in the depths of autumn. On the table there was a chopstick holder, shichimi pepper, and wet wipes. The chopstick wrapper had the name of the restaurant printed on it. Even these small details are well-thought-out and impressive. I looked around, but there was no menu. "We only have cold soba," the proprietress said. When I asked how much soba I wanted, they brought me a bowl and said, "This is enough for one bowl." Not wanting to be disappointed, I ordered two. After waiting for a few minutes, it finally arrived. The bowl contained soba noodles topped with green onions. Quite simple. Then, the broth was poured over them. I slurped up a mouthful. Delicious. Chewy soba. It went down smoothly. The broth was also delicious. I couldn't stop eating. I finished the whole bowl in no time. I took a breath, then reached for a second bowl. Of course, I couldn't stop eating the second bowl either (lol). Maybe because it's homemade, there were a few short soba noodles left in the bowl by the time I finished. I washed them down with the broth. Whew. It was delicious. If it weren't for the four bowls of plain rice I had for breakfast at the inn, I think I could have had another bowl (lol). By the way, there's a parking lot two doors down from the restaurant. Please take care of your health and keep it up for a long time to come. Thank you for the meal. I'll come again! (Original) いつか訪れたいと思っていたお蕎麦屋さん。 小木港からは歩いて10分ほど。 タイムスリップしたかのような懐かしさただよう町並みの中に歴史を感じさせる店構え。 開店11時に訪問。ドキドキしてのれんをくぐる。なぜなら予約をしてないから…。(予約必要らしいです) まだお客さんはおらず、奥から女将さんが…「予約してないのですが大丈夫ですか？」の問いに「今なら大丈夫だよ」と。その温かい言葉になぜかうれしかった。 お店に入るとテーブル席と奥には8人くらいが座れそうなお座敷。 テーブルに着座すると温かいお茶を出される。店内はストーブが焚かれ秋深まる季節には温かく嬉しい。 テーブルには割り箸入れと七味とウエットティッシュ。箸袋にはお店の名前が印刷されている。こういった細かいところも手を抜かず素晴らしい。 そして周りを見渡すがメニューがない。 「冷たいお蕎麦しかないよ〜」と女将さん。蕎麦の盛り量をたずねると丼を持ってきてくれて「これで一杯分」と教えていただき、一杯じゃ足りないなと二杯お願いする。 待つこと数分。ついに来た。 丼には蕎麦にネギが乗せられている。至ってシンプル。そこへつゆをまわしかける。 一口ズズズッとすする。うまい。コシのある蕎麦。喉越しもいい。つゆもうまい。箸が止まらない。あっという間に一杯完食。一呼吸おき、おもむろに二杯目に手をかける。もちろん二杯目も箸が止まらない(笑) 手作りのせいか食べ終わる頃の丼には短めのそばが残る。それをつゆと一緒に流し込む。 ふぅー。うまかった。旅館の朝食の白メシ四杯のダメージがなければ、もう一杯は行けたと思う(笑) ちなみにお店の2軒隣に駐車場あります。 健康には気をつけてこれからも長く続けてほしいです。 ごちそうさまでした。また来ます！

The sushis are nice for Sado. Friendly staff and comfortable place. Better come early or you might have no seats. It seems local people live here very much

Very pretty inside. Initially seemed warm and relaxing. Staff distracted and distant. Waited 10 mins to get Bill. We got overcharged about $12. I think they billed the wrong table. NOT HAPPY

Upon arrival via jetfoil at 12:35, we got our hired car and parked in one of the three parking lots of the restaurant an hour later. My wife can eat a lot and the waitress was surprised. My wife was committed to finish all the seafood which costed more than a day of our car rental. We had fast food as restaurant closed at 2pm.

Great food and cozy/stylish interior. I went there for lunch, but want to try their dinner next time.

Owners were welcoming and was casually talking with clients. Great!

Great sushi place in SadoShima!

Good sushi

The is a small place in Ogi. We had the sashimi plate and the fish was fresh. However the owner was a bit snobbish snd did not give me a welcoming feeling.

Fresh, delicious amzing food. Great service. Had a lovely time! Thank you.

Great food in a small local restaurant. Not to be missed!

(Translated by Google) I walked there from an inn that was a little far away, and although I didn't have a reservation, I was able to enjoy some food and drinks. There is a price list for set meals and drinks, but there are no prices displayed for today's snack menu written on the board. It cost 8,600 yen for two people to have a small amount of alcohol, assorted sashimi, scallions, fried oysters, fried horse mackerel, fried white fish, aged Tochio, miso octopus, rice and miso soup. It's delicious and satisfying. Unfortunately, the grilled fish set meal was sold out. (Original) 少しはなれた旅館から歩いて訪ね、予約無しでしたが食事とお酒を楽しむことができました。定食や飲み物の値段表はありますが、ボードに書かれた本日のおつまみメニューに関しては、価格の表示がありません。2人で、お酒をほんの少しと、刺身盛り合わせ、いごねり、カキフライ、アジフライ、白身魚のフライ、栃尾上げ、タコ味噌、ライスと味噌汁とたっぷり食べて8600円でした。美味しくて満足です。焼き魚定食が売り切れだったのが残念でした。

(Translated by Google) The nearby Inayoshi restaurant was closed for the rice harvest, so I dropped in for a weekday lunch. I strongly felt that first-time visitors like tourists should avoid this place. It was the first time I'd seen something like this in Tohoku. Watching how they treated other customers, the differences in their attitudes were so jarring that it was almost unpleasant. 😓 It might be a good place for locals... Seafood bowl 2,000 yen, pork fillet cutlet bowl 1,100 yen. The seafood bowl was a bit disappointing considering the price. The pork fillet cutlet bowl had tender meat and was delicious. (Original) 近くの稲よしさんが稲刈りで休みでしたので、平日のランチにお邪魔しました。 観光客のような一見さんの方は行かない方が良いと痛切に感じました。東北でこんなの見たの初めて。 他の方への対応を見ていたら、対応の違いが違いが不愉快になるくらいでした😓 地元の方には良いかもですね。。。 海鮮丼2,000円、ヒレカツ丼1,100円。 海鮮丼は値段を考えると微妙。ヒレカツ丼は肉も柔らかくて旨かったです。

(Translated by Google) I ordered a sashimi set meal and a katsudon, and both far exceeded my expectations. The rice was perfectly cooked, and after a disappointing experience with Sado Island rice at another restaurant the day before, I was surprised by the rice's natural sweetness and umami. The pickles were particularly outstanding, even among the best I've ever tasted, and I was deeply moved by their lingering flavor. I'm intrigued to discover the secrets of their production. Some reviews have criticized the restaurant for being "unsociable," but the staff's natural demeanor, welcoming and sincere in their responses when greeted politely, exudes a warmth and sincerity befitting a rural setting. Inside, elderly local women enjoyed pleasant conversations, and I even saw them kindly showing a tourist couple how to use the water dispenser. The warm, welcoming atmosphere was truly pleasant. This wonderful restaurant, satisfying both its food and atmosphere, will definitely make you want to return whenever you visit Ogi. (Original) 刺身定食とカツ丼を注文しましたが、どちらも期待を遥かに超える美味しさでした。 ご飯はふっくらと炊き上げられ、前日に他店で食べた佐渡島産のお米が残念な印象だっただけに、こちらで食べたものの米本来の甘味と旨みに驚かされました。 漬物に至っては、これまで味わった中でも際立つ逸品で、実に余韻のある味わいに感動しました。その製法の秘密を探りたくなるほどです。 一部の口コミで「愛想がない」との指摘がありましたが、丁寧に挨拶すれば温かく応じてくれるスタッフの自然体な対応は、むしろ田舎らしい温もりと誠実さを感じさせます。店内では地元の年配女性の方々が和やかに会話を楽しみ、観光客のご夫婦に給水機の使い方を親切に案内する姿も見られ、ほのぼのとした空気が心地よかったです。 小木を訪れる際は、必ず再訪したいと思わせる、料理と雰囲気の両方で心を満たしてくれる素晴らしいお店でした。

(Translated by Google) This is a must-visit restaurant when you visit Ogi, Sado. They serve the freshest and most delicious food for lunch and dinner. (Original) 佐渡・小木に行ったら必ず行くお店 ここはランチも夜も最高に新鮮で美味しい物を提供してくれます

I eat sushi a lot but this was too expensive for the quality. 1,500 for one piece of fatty tuna. This isn’t Ginza. It was nice but not 1,500 yen nice. The other set dishes we had were fine enough but probably slightly overpriced. There isn’t much else in the area.

Very fresh, and given full attention by service staff. Has a nicely handwritten menu, is very useful. For once, skipped google translate...😆

Very good sushi. But you pay for the quality.

(Translated by Google) ▼This is a shop I popped into while waiting for Jetfoil. As a result, I was able to find some very delicious sushi. Thank you for your good luck! If I ever come to Sado again, I'm thinking of going directly from the port. ▼In front of Ryotsu Port. Open from 8am in the morning until 2pm including lunch. I think the evening hours are also very convenient as they are open from 4pm. ▼We also have rare sake from sake breweries in Sado, so it was fun to choose and taste delicious. ▼Sushi recommendations are on the whiteboard. There were several types of obligatory sets, and several types of flyers. This time, I ordered the highly recommended dish called Takumi Shi, which costs 7,800 yen for 10 pieces. ▼The fish from Sado is definitely delicious, as everyone would think, but the fish used in the standard set of pins at the restaurant was different. The texture, flavor, and aroma were amazing. In particular, the black throat, flatfish, Nanban shrimp, and yellowtail were amazing. ▼The squid was fresh and came out with the liver. I had never experienced this method before, but it did a pretty good job with no liver odor or harshness. It was so impressive that I ended up having to refill it lol ▼I had the tuna that was fried in Sado. I had red meat, large fatty tuna, and medium fatty tuna served, and all of them were outstanding. The taste, texture, and aroma of the tuna were wonderful, and it was very good. ▼The clerk even went out of his way to tell me how many kilograms of tuna there were, and the name of the intermediate wholesaler on the tag was Mr. Yamayuki. I was surprised to see the name of Mr. Yamayuki, one of the leading tuna wholesalers in Toyosu, in Sado. ▼The female clerk in charge of customer service and the CEO with a handshake (as she was called) were warm and helpful to us, and I can only thank them for taking such good care of us, even with small children.

(Translated by Google) Used in June 2025. I had some time to wait for the ferry so I decided to try it. I ordered a set of 7 Sado local fish nigiri for 2,500 yen, a set of 3 tuna for 2,500 yen, and a single serving of sea urchin for 2,000 yen (market price), and the bill came to 10,000 yen. Is this sea urchin worth 5,000 yen? I was hoping for some crunchy fresh fish, but it wasn't very chewy, perhaps because it doesn't go well with sushi. It's near the ferry terminal so it's a restaurant that caters to tourists. (Original) ２０２５年６月に利用。 フェリーの待ち時間があったので食べてみることに。 佐渡の地魚にぎり(7貫セット)２，５００円とマグロ三貫セット２，５００円と単品でウニ２，０００円～（時価）を注文して、会計１万円。このウニが５，０００円ですかね・・・・。 こりこりした新鮮な魚を期待していましたが、寿司に合わないためなのかそんなに歯ごたえ無。 フェリー乗り場の近くなので観光客相手のお店ですね。

(Translated by Google) Visited on a weekday afternoon in August 2025 The first floor was full, so I was shown to the second floor. Ordered local fish sushi, regular sushi, and tekka maki. The local fish sushi arrived in seconds! (ﾟдﾟ)! Even the express lane of a 100-yen conveyor belt sushi restaurant It's impossible to get it this fast! (ﾟдﾟ)! I eat at a lot of independent sushi restaurants, but This was the fastest I've ever eaten! (ﾟдﾟ)! First, I tried a whole sushi roll, but The topping was dry! (ﾟдﾟ)! This was also an independent sushi restaurant, This might be the first time I've ever seen pre-prepared sushi! (ﾟдﾟ)! Ten minutes later, I finished the awful sushi. My partner's order still hasn't arrived! (ﾟдﾟ)! The tekka sushi hasn't arrived either! (ﾟдﾟ)! 15 minutes later, my partner's order arrived. The regular sushi is upgraded to a higher grade (ﾟдﾟ)! As I rejected it, another portion of premium sushi arrived. (ﾟдﾟ)! I rejected it again, but they said I could have the premium sushi for the regular price. That was fine, but the other portion was set aside and delivered to the next customer. I could see it coming. Anyway, 40 minutes after we entered, my partner had finished his meal. But my tekka still hasn't arrived (ﾟдﾟ)! I checked with the part-time worker, but he immediately replied, "The order has been placed." Without checking with the chef, he looked smug (ﾟдﾟ)! I asked to cancel, but they said it was being made. In the end, the tekka arrived an hour later. I immediately left. Later, when I checked my receipt, I saw that the nigiri sushi that was supposed to be complimentary had been included in the bill! (ﾟдﾟ)! To all tourists, I want to say this loud and clear: There are some really bad restaurants out there, so don't just go in because they're listed in a tourist guidebook! (ﾟдﾟ)!

(Translated by Google) It's close to the ferry terminal and is a new, clean restaurant. I've been there twice for lunch and the food is delicious. However, it was a busy time, and the staff seemed a bit hectic. (Original) フェリー乗り場からも近く、新しい感じのきれいなお店です。昼に2度ほど利用しましたが美味しいと思います。 ただ忙しい時間帯な事もあり、店員さんもドタバタ気味な感じはありました。

The staff of this restaurant is so warm and welcoming! There is a broad menu to choose from, both fish and meat, and everything we got was delicious! Highly recommended.

All dishes we had were great. Sashimi was so fresh.

Great place to dine in, lunch and dinner. Fresh local fish cooked in various ways. There are meat dish, too. Staffs there are nice, too. Be sure to look at the back for its entrance as it's not facing the road.

The photos speak for themselves, amazing flavours and the staff were so friendly and nice, I enjoyed my time speaking with the boss he is such a cool guy!

The owner is very enthusiastic, the sashimi is very fresh, perfect restaurant

Yorokonde has the cozy feel of a neighborhood eatery with very friendly staff. Many of the customers seemed to be locals, a good sign. Food was excellent and plentiful. We had the buri katsudon and the tendon teishoku. Both very nice 👌

I just ate THE BeST rice in all of Japan! And that’s saying something! The owners get their rice from a local Sado Island rice farmer and wow! Just wow! So delicious! Plus, their kindness to my family was heartwarming. They shared their knowledge of the toki bird, sent us away with little cookie treats and a manga book. They were just so incredibly kind and made the most delicious homemade food. Go! You will not regret this authentic diner where food and love are served up! ❤️

After reading reviews, I was pretty scared to try but it was the only one opening at that time. The restaurant was pretty busy. Maybe it is close to the port so people come for a quick meal. To be honest, the tables and atmosphere didn’t look that clean but my tummy could not wait any longer. We ordered: * Katsudon set - nice and yummy * Fried oysters - lots of oysters and yummy * Sashimi set - just ok. Expected a bit more freshness. I think this restaurant offered nice meals for its price. Not wow wow but not bad at all.

The restaurant is located within 5 min walk from Ryotsu Port. Hearty meals prepared by the family. Their meal sets are very big in portion and reasonable as well! The hire katsu set was especially good! The sushi set was ok. Recommend trying the katsu or meat dishes instead of sushi. For about 1300 you can have a warm meal.

Nice restaurant to go.

(Translated by Google) The katsu curry was delicious! It's conveniently located near the Sado Kisen ferry, and there are surprisingly few restaurants around the ferry, so I recommend this place. If you've come to Sado and want to eat sashimi, this is a safe place to go, and they even have a sashimi menu. The prices are very reasonable, so if you're in a pinch, this is the place to go! If you're ever in Sado, be sure to check it out! (Original) カツカレー絶品でした！佐渡汽船からすぐなので、便利な場所にあるのと、佐渡汽船周辺には意外に飲食店少ないので、こちらおススメです。 佐渡に来たし、お刺身食べたい方にも安心できるお店で、お刺身メニューもあります。 値段がとてもリーズナブルなお店なので、困ったらここですね！ 佐渡に行かれた際にはぜひ行ってみてくださいね！

(Translated by Google) While other set meals are priced at ¥1,200, the katsu curry is a relatively inexpensive ¥850. It came with four large, freshly fried katsu and was delicious. It would have been even better if they'd added a little more curry. It's a great, locally-sourced restaurant loved by local office workers. (I'm a tourist, by the way.) *The waitress is very straightforward. She's not cold, though. *It seems like street parking is OK. I parked in the lot right in front of it and it cost me ¥100. (Original) 他の定食類が1200円なのにカツカレーは850円と安めな設定。 大きい揚げたてカツが４枚のってて旨かった。 もうちょっとカレーをかけてくれると尚良かったんですがね。 地元サラリーマンにも愛されてるような地域密着のいい店でした。 (ちなみにアタシは観光客) ＊接客の母さんはサバサバしてます。冷たい訳じゃありませんよ。 ＊路駐OKみたいですね。アタシは目の前の駐車場に停めたら100円でした。

(Translated by Google) 2024/8 visit Annual trip to Sado. This is the second time this year. Last time it was Golden Week, and this time it's Obon. During long holidays, ferries are a big deal. In second class seats, you have to be careful even when going to the toilet. Let's have reserved seats next year. Lunch on the third day of stay. The restaurant I wanted to go to wasn't open yet, so I chose this one from among the restaurants nearby. Park at a nearby parking lot. Sashimi set meal and cutlet bowl. The sashimi set meal is something that should be on your ``I should serve this here'' list. The okara was delicious. Katsudon turns out to be different from what you expect. It's sauce cutlet. The cutlet was crispy fried, but the sauce was a little too sweet. I guess it's good for people who like sweet things. As for customer service, it was a young woman who served me, so I didn't mind. (Original) ２０２４／８訪問 恒例の佐渡旅行。 今年は２回目。 前回はゴールデンウイークで、今回はお盆。 大型連休は、フェリーが凄いことになる。 ２等席ではトイレに行くにも気を遣う。 来年は指定席にしよう。 滞在３日目の昼食。 行きたかったお店はまだやっていないので、近くでやっているお店の中から、こちらをチョイス。 近くにある駐車場に止めます。 刺身定食とカツ丼。 刺身定食は、「ここでこれ出すんだ」リストに入るやつです。 おからは美味しかった。 カツ丼は、思っているのと違うのが出て来ます。 タレカツですね。 カツはサックリ揚がっていましたが、タレがちょっと甘過ぎました。 甘いのが好きな方にはいいのかな。 接客に関しては、対応してくれたのが若い方の女性だったので、気になりませんでした。

(Translated by Google) I went to a set meal restaurant near the port for lunch on a weekday. I had the sashimi set meal. They sold out of sashimi by around 1pm. They also had other fried foods, and I saw quite a few people ordering cutlets. The portions looked quite filling. The staff seemed a little brusque, but it didn't bother me too much. (Original) 港の近くの定食屋さん平日にランチに行きました。 お刺身定食をいただきました。１３時くらいにはお刺身は売り切れになっでました。 他にも揚げ物があり、カツを頼んでいる人も結構いたなかも。ボリュームありそうでした。 お店の人はちょっとぶっきらぼうに感じましたが、そこまでは気になりませんでしたよ。

Iis extremely disappointing that, as an international airport, the staff are unable to communicate in English. The female personnel at the baggage inspection area were particularly slow and treated every passenger with excessive suspicion, as if everyone were smuggling drugs. She did not understand a single word of English, which made the process even more frustrating. This was, by far, the worst airport experience I have ever had. If there is no capacity to communicate with international travelers in English, the airport should not be accepting them. It reflects poorly on Niigata and is truly shameful for a facility representing this city.

Niigata International Airport is undeniably at an incredibly convenient location! As a Niigata native living in New York, I've flown the JFK-PuDong, China-Niigata route via China Eastern Air several times in recent years to visit my family. Surprisingly, this route is almost as fast as flying through JFK-Tokyo-Niigata, owing to the airport's small size. The compact facility provides a significant advantage, resulting in shorter waiting times at check-in counters, security, immigration, and baggage claim. Unlike larger international airports, there's no need to arrive three hours in advance; even arriving two or one hour before departure is sufficient. Moreover, the airfare of China Eastern Air is less than half of what Japanese carriers charge, making it a budget-friendly option. Additionally, other major airlines offer direct flights to Niigata from Seoul, Hong Kong, and Harbin, and obtaining tickets for Niigata airport is a breeze, with available seats usually easy to find. Niigata airport boasts another advantage - its proximity to Tokyo. A short 20-minute shuttle bus or taxi ride connects the airport to the center of Niigata city, and from there, Tokyo is just a swift 2-hour Shinkansen journey away. In comparison, traveling from Narita airport to Tokyo takes one hour, and from Haneda, it takes 30 minutes, plus additional waiting times of about an hour. If you're looking to save money and explore a less-known route during the Tokyo Olympics, consider spending a night in Niigata and taking an early morning Shinkansen to Tokyo. This lesser-known route can be a great way to experience both cities while enjoying the convenience and cost savings it offers.

Lovely airport. Nice, small and easy to navigate.

We took the first direct flight from HK and received a warm welcome there. The airport is small but clean and spacious. The souvenir shop had a variety of products.

I would like to say thanks to the information center that the crew is so friendly and bring us to recharge ticket.She know everything that we need.She does a good job and should be known.Thank you very much.

Small, but convenient international airport for accessing nearby ski resorts in Hakuba area. Direct flight available by Cathy Pacific from Hong Kong to Niigate every Wednesday and Saturday. New experience for flying to Niigate rather than Tokyo (Haneda and Narita)

Small but efficient airport. Staffs are very friendly and fast. Some nice shops around. They should provide some flat rate fee for long time vehicle parking. .
