Apparently quite a famous and old shrine. We waited about 15 minutes to pray on Jan 5. There's a modern little museum attached for an extra ¥500. There are toilets as well. The thatched roof is interesting.

Visited on a scorching summer weekend — the heat was intense. There were a few tourists around, most came to pray quickly and left right after. I didn’t stay long either, just enough time to take some photos. The shrine has a beautiful traditional structure, with a unique thatched roof (like woven hay — not something you see every day!) and a striking red torii gate at the entrance. It feels historic and sacred, even in the heat. Would love to come back when it’s cooler to take my time exploring.

Nice shrine. Great pond and lotus plants in front. Nice bridge photo moment.

A historical place over 1200 years, not big but it is worth a visit

Peaceful and sacred beauty.

Can't go into the building as priests are only allowed in.

Beautiful temple in Kumamoto Prefecture.

The place is full of SL train history in Hitoyoshi. Kids will enjoy model trains.

Unless you get the timing right to see the full-size steam train (and you love stream trains!), I'd give this place a miss.

Small but a great stop for kids.

Designed explicitly for kids, 5 stars for kids

Has small train

very good place for children !

Good place for children

(Translated by Google) ★A temple with connections to ghosts and Saigo Takamori★ When I searched this place on Google Maps, I saw a lot of the words ``ghost'', so I was intrigued and decided to visit. When you enter the main hall, there is a ghost hanging scroll on the left. Enter the main hall, go down the passage on the right, go down the stairs, enter the mansion next door, and go to the left to see the ``Pond that seems to be haunted''. I prepared some coins and put them in for charity. Also, the madam of the temple answered the phone calls, the young lady showed us how to get to the pond, and the chief priest was also very kind. In addition, you should definitely watch the information video on the left side of the main hall. After seeing that, I went to donate money again. I stopped by on a whim, but I'm glad I went. Thank you very much 💖 I appreciate it. (Original) ★幽霊や西郷隆盛との御縁がある、お寺★ こちらをGoogleマップ検索すると『幽霊』ってワードが多くて、氣になり伺いました。 本堂入って左手に、幽霊の掛け軸。 本堂入って右手の通路を行き、階段を降りて、そのま隣のお屋敷に入ると左手に行くと『幽霊が出たらしい池』が観れます。 小銭を用意し、浄財入れてきました。 又、お寺のマダムも電話対応して下さり、お嬢さんは、池の行き方を案内して下さり、住職さんも丁寧に対応して下さいました。 尚、本堂左手にある案内ビデオは絶対、観た方が良いです。 それ観て、又、浄財入れに行ったほど。 ふらりと伺いましたが、行って良かったです。 ありがとうございました💖感謝します。

(Translated by Google) The number of buses varies greatly depending on whether you take the express bus or train. It's only a 40-minute walk from the express bus stop. There are also city buses, so I recommend taking advantage of them. However, there aren't many buses to Kagoshima. Rather than returning to Kagoshima by express bus from Kagoshima, it might be better to go up to Shin-Yatsushiro or somewhere similar. According to the guidebook, you won't be able to catch the Hibiscus bus departing at night. You won't make the 12:00 PM bus. If you've read the "Dan Doon" chapter, I recommend going there. The ghost paintings and the haunted pond are a must-see. The priest's explanation is about 10 minutes long, so I recommend watching it. Rather than rushing around, I recommend sitting in front of the pond or on a tatami mat for even a minute or two in meditation. They also have prayer beads and temple seals.

(Translated by Google) Weekday visit in August 2025 This temple served as the headquarters of the Satsuma army during the Seinan War. A stone monument commemorating Saigo has also been erected here. It is also known as the Ghost Temple. ************ The following is an excerpt from the temple's pamphlet. In 1877 (Meiji 10), during the Seinan War, Saigo Takamori was defeated at Tabaruzaka and retreated. He set up his headquarters at this temple and remained there for 33 days. However, due to the advancing Imperial Army, he retreated across Kakuto Pass on May 29th, protected by the troops of sniper commander Ikegami Shiro. The temple was completely burned down during the Hitoyoshi Street Battle on June 1st. The main hall was rebuilt in 1891. Due to its aging, the main hall was rebuilt as it is today in 2017. (Original) 2025年8月 平日の訪問 西南戦争で薩摩軍の本陣が置かれました。 西郷さんを偲ぶ石碑も建立されています。 幽霊寺としても知られています。 ＊＊＊＊＊＊＊ 以下、お寺のパンフレットより抜粋 明治10年（1877年）西南の役の際、田原坂で敗れ撤退する西郷隆盛は、当寺に本営を置き、33日間在陣した。 しかし、攻め寄せる官軍の為、5月29日狙撃隊長池上四郎の部隊に守られて、加久藤峠を越えて退却していった。 6月1日の人吉市街戦で当寺も全焼し、明治24年（1891年）に至って、本堂が再建された。本堂の老化もあり、平成29年（2017年）に現在の本堂に改築された。

(Translated by Google) It is a temple of the Soto sect and is famous for having a ghost hanging scroll, so it is also called a ghost temple. Although it is a replica, the ghost hanging scroll (replica) is always on display in the shrine grounds. It was quite the ghost of Mr. Beppin, but I was so frightened that I was afraid of being possessed, so I only allowed him to look at it and didn't take any photos. It has a nice garden and I thought it was beautiful. I was shocked when the person at the temple told me that a ghost had appeared in the pond in this garden. This temple is also famous as the headquarters of Saigo's army during the Seinan Rebellion. (Original) 曹洞宗のお寺さんで幽霊の掛け軸があることで有名で幽霊寺とも呼ばれるそうです。 境内にレプリカにはなりますが常時幽霊の掛け軸（レプリカ）は展示されています。なかなかのベッピンさんの幽霊でしたが憑いてこられると困るなと、ビビりの僕は拝見だけさせていただき写真までは撮られませんでした 立派なお庭もありキレイだなと拝見していると まさにこのお庭の池に幽霊が出たんだよとお寺の方が教えてくれてドキッとしました、早よ言うてくださいや、うらめしや 西南戦争の際の西郷軍本陣としても有名なお寺さんです

(Translated by Google) Commonly known as ``Yurei Temple.'' This temple was also the headquarters of the Seinan Rebellion. The temple itself is beautiful as it has been renovated. Many people may be surprised because there is a nursery school next to the grave (it's like having a nursery school inside a cemetery). If you go to the right from the main hall, you will see a beautiful garden and pond where a ghost has appeared, and on the left there is a hanging scroll with a ghost on display. In this world, each person has had various feelings, especially given the times, so I hope that all souls will find peace. *The location is very easy to find as it is close to the city hall. It's rather noticeable. There are also some unique events going on. There was plenty of parking space for all the cars, and it seemed to be popular with the locals, which made me smile ^_^ (Original) 通称「ゆうれい寺」。また、西南戦争の本陣でもあったお寺です。 改築されているので、お寺自体は綺麗です。お墓と隣接して保育園があるので（墓地の中に保育園がある感じ）、ビックリなさる方が多いかもしれません。 本堂より右手に進むと、幽霊が出たという美しいお庭と池があり、左手には幽霊の掛軸が展示されています。 この世では、特に時代的にも人それぞれいろいろな想いを抱えたでしょうから、どうかすべての魂が安寧の地へ辿り着いていますように、と願いつつ。 ※市役所からの通り沿いで近いので、場所は非常に分かりやすいです。むしろ目立ちます。 なにやらユニークなイベント等もなさっていて。駐車場も困らない台数分はしっかりあり、地元の方々に親しまれているようで、微笑ましかったです^_^

(Translated by Google) This is a Soto sect temple. It has a very long history, being built in 1408, and the current chief priest is said to be the 41st generation! It's a shame that it was burnt down during the Seinan War, but it was a very splendid temple. I went to see the ghost hanging scroll, but it was a bit scary. I listened to the story on a video set up next to the hanging scroll, and it was a very sad ghost story. It is said that Mr. Saigo, who was chased out during the Seinan Rebellion, stayed at this temple for 33 days, and the temple was burnt down during the Hitoyoshi urban battle. It makes you feel a fierce battle at the same time. Saigo's calligraphy is next to the hanging scroll. (Original) 曹洞宗のお寺です。とても古い歴史があり、1408年建立で、今のご住職で41代目だそうです！ 西南戦争で焼け落ちてしまったのが本当に勿体ないですが、とても立派なお寺でした。 幽霊掛け軸を見に行きましたが、ちょっとフワッとくる怖さがありました。 掛け軸の横に準備されていたビデオでお話を聞きましたが、とても悲しい幽霊話でした。 西南戦争で追われた西郷さんが、このお寺に33日間滞在したらしく、人吉市街戦でお寺は焼け落ちてしまったそうです。同時の激しい戦いを感じさせます。 西郷さんの書が掛け軸の隣にあります。

(Translated by Google) lush park It is located at the top of the mountain and has a rugged structure. There is also a running course, so you can also practice trail running 🏃‍♂️ There were playground equipment, tennis courts, and several parking lots.

(Translated by Google) This park is located close to Hitoyoshi 2 Junior High School and is a place for citizens to relax. The entire area of ​​the slightly elevated plateau has been developed as a park, with an observation deck and playground equipment. There are quite a few ups and downs, so it's perfect for walking or jogging. One block has eight tennis courts. This tennis court used to be all clay, but the upper six courts have been renovated into omni courts. In the foggy Hitoyoshi area, if you play the dirt court early in the morning, you might not be able to get your feet under your feet, so it's not really a good place to play tennis, so I'm grateful for the omni court specification. Approximately 20 cars can be parked in the parking lot near the court. (Original) 人吉二中からほど近い場所にある、市民憩いの公園です。小高い台地一帯が公園として整備されており、展望台よ遊具などを備えています。起伏がかなりありますのでウォーキングやジョギングには最適です。 一画にはテニスコート8面を備えています。 このテニスコート、以前は全てクレーでしたが、上段の6面がオムニコートに改修されていました。霧深い人吉では早朝土のコートだと足元が抜かるんでとてもテニスどころでは無いこともままありますので、オムニコート仕様は有難いですね。 コート近くの駐車場には20台ほど駐車可能です。

(Translated by Google) I went there for the first time after finding the park on a map! When I first parked in the parking lot next to the high school, I thought I would arrive at the athletics, but that was not the case at all! ! I had no idea where to park, so I asked some volunteers and I'm glad I managed to get there ＼(^-^)／ The temporary housing was completely different from the information board along the way! I have to go to the tennis courts! There were a lot of play equipment around here! On the holidays I went, the number gradually increased from the afternoon! There was play equipment for ages 3 to elementary and junior high school students! (Original) 地図で公園と見つけて初めて行きました！ 高校横の駐車場にまず停めて行ったらアスレチックに着くかと思ったら、全然違いました！！ 駐車場が全然わからず、、、ボランティアの人などに訪ねたり、なんとか たどり着けてよかったです＼(^-^)／途中の案内板とは、仮設住宅ができて全然違いました！テニスコートの方面まで行かないといけないですね！ ここら辺の中では、遊具が多かったです！ 私が行った休日は、昼過ぎから徐々に多くなってきていました！ 3〜小中学生まで遊べる遊具がありました！

(Translated by Google) When I made a reservation over the phone, they were very polite and guided me smoothly when I entered the store. The lady who came to take my order didn't look like a store clerk, so some people might not like it, but I felt like she was friendly and I felt at ease. All the food was delicious and the atmosphere was nice. The menu is reasonably priced and I would like to go there for lunch next time. Thank you for the meal😊 (Original) 電話予約した際、とても丁寧な対応でお店に入った時もスムーズに案内がありました。注文を聞きに来たお姉さんが店員さんぽくなくて、苦手な方もいるかもしれませんが、自分は親しみやすい感じがして和みました。御料理も全て美味しくて、お店の雰囲気も良かったです。メニューもお手頃価格からあり、次回はランチを食べに行きたいと思います。ご馳走様でした😊

(Translated by Google) I stopped by for dinner as I was staying at a nearby hotel for work.As for customer service, I was first shown to a tatami room, but I have a chronic illness or should I say lower back pain...I had to travel by car for a long time, so if I could, I would use a sunken kotatsu. When I asked him about it, he didn't look very kind...Even when I saw the staff checking on him, he gave me a sour look...I guess it can't be helped since you can't tell from his appearance that he has back pain. When I saw it, it was almost empty, so I was hoping that I could do it, but rather than being guided to the counter with a smile, I was able to spend my time reluctantly! As for the prices, I guess the fish is expensive at this time of year due to the typhoon, and there were several items at market prices! When it comes to customer service and food...Personally, I felt it was rather expensive this time. I'm glad that the storefront and interior are spacious☆... As for the food, the sashimi was fresh and delicious 😋 Because it's made directly from the fish tank ❣️ The tempura platter is average. When it comes to tuna sushi, there are tendons and it comes in just one piece. . As for the miso soup, it was red, but Mitsuba was dry. . As for the alcohol, I ordered a dry sake, but personally, the lineup was sweet. I only come to Hitoyoshi a few times a year for work, so finding a place to eat is something I look forward to 🥰, so this was my first non-chain restaurant, and it was a bittersweet debut lol. (Original) 仕事で、近くのホテルに泊まるため夕飯に寄りました☆接客に関しては最初座敷に案内されたのですが持病というべきか腰痛持ちで…長時間の車の移動もあり出来れば掘りごたつなどをとお願いしたらあまり心良い表情をされなく…大将の確認をスタッフがしてる様子も見れたときも渋いお顔を大将もされ…見た目じゃ腰痛なんかわからんから仕方ないかな😭💦一応こちらも、店内を見てほぼ空いていたため出来ればという気持ちでしたが笑顔でカウンターご案内というよりは渋々感丸出しで過ごさせていただきました！ 値段に関しては、今の時期はお魚も台風などで高いのか時価の物も複数ありました！今回の接客➕料理となると…私的には割高に今回は感じました。 店構えや店内は広々とされて良かったです☆…料理に関しては、刺身は新鮮で美味しかった😋いけすから直接だから❣️天ぷら盛り合わせは普通。マグロのお寿司に関してはスジがあり1カンで。。お味噌汁に関しては赤だしでしたがミツバは乾ききっている。。お酒もどちらかというと日本酒は辛口をオーダーしたが私的には甘いに入る日本酒のラインナップでした。年に数回しか人吉に仕事で来るくらいなので食事場所は楽しみの1つ🥰の私にはチェーン店以外の初のお店がこちらでしたがほろ苦いデビューとなりました笑笑

(Translated by Google) The food is fresh and delicious Live squid, Ikka shrimp, and mackerel sashimi It's excellent (Original) 음식이 신선하고 맛있어요 산오징어 이까새우 고등어회도 일품입니다

(Translated by Google) The structure of striped horse mackerel. The structure of a squid. The sashimi that was caught swimming in the water was so fresh that it was delicious. Draft beer is on the way. I'm satisfied with the tempura platter, fried chicken, and seafood salad. I had the head of striped horse mackerel made into a soup and it was delicious. (Original) シマアジの造り。ヤリイカの造り。泳いで居たのを捌いて刺身がぴくぴく新鮮そのもの大変美味しい。生ビールが進みます。天ぷら盛合せ、唐揚げ、シーフドサラダに満足です。シマアジの造りの頭をあら汁にしてもらい美味しく頂きました。

Really delicious unagi restaurant serving up different styles & dishes. First time trying the pickled unagi & liver and would say that they are an acquired taste not for all, liver has a strong bitter aftertaste which should be a good sake-pairing dish. Do try it if you dare! Definitely recommend the unagi rice sets!

On my way to Kirishima, I stopped by Uemura Unagi-ya (上村うなぎ屋) for lunch as I’ve read so many good reviews about this old Japanese restaurant and it definitely did not disappoint! I ordered an unagi set which was filled with perfectly charcoal-grilled eel, glazed with delicious sauce over hot steamed rice. I also tried their deep-fried eel bones. They were extremely crunchy and high in calcium! Be warned that if you have to wait in line outside of the restaurant, they’ll make you stand in an area which is right next to their kitchen’s exhaust fans. Which can be very smoky!!

Best eel I had. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Natural nice charcoal taste on the eel, with just enough sauce. (Different from other type of unagi I had) I ordered the Unaju set with the liver soup 😋

I came here for dinner, and the wait for a table wasn't long at all. The restaurant is deceptively large. I ordered the small unagidon for 1900 yen, and that was the perfect amount for me. There was a bit of a wait for the food to arrive after ordering, but considering the restaurant is so large and popular that's not so surprising. The food was worth the wait!

It's an incredible place, obviously a superstar for the local people. We came at about 1030 and it's already half full. By the time we left it's full house. This doesn't mean it's a small place. In fact it's among the largest eel restaurant I have ever seen that can house like close to a 60-80 people. The mood is very classical and the quantity is solid. Absolutely a place to visit for all the money worth!

The Japanese eel rice are very delicious. The eel tastes are good and the texture are very good. I will visit it again as I come again.

The most delicious unadon & eel porridge that I have tried 😋

It is also close between 1500-1700 on Saturday, i have drove 2hrs but it closed. misleaded by google info

Compare with the price the food quality is acceptable.

Great place for Unagi.

(Translated by Google) I had the eel bowl (regular) for 2,300 yen. It came with soup and pickles. When you come to Hitoyoshi, you definitely want to eat eel! It was a regular, so it was just two pieces of eel, but it was very filling and delicious! The outside was crispy and the inside was soft and fluffy, just perfect! The rice was delicious! The grains were well-defined. To survive the heatwave, you need the nutritional benefits of eel 😋 (Original) うなぎ丼（並）2300円頂きました お吸い物と香の物が付きます 人吉に来たら、やっぱりうなぎが食べたい！ 並なので、うなぎ2切れですが、充分存在感があり、メッチャ美味しかったです！ 外側はパリっと、内側はふっくらと柔らくて絶妙です！ ご飯が旨い！粒が立っています。 猛暑を乗り切るためには、うなぎの滋養が必要です😋

(Translated by Google) This is a long-established eel restaurant. Their last lunch order is at 2:30 PM. I went on a Monday and was able to get in without waiting in line. There's plenty of parking. They cook the eel after you order, so I think the bamboo steamer took about 20 minutes. It was delicious! The cucumber was also delicious. They use farmed eels from Miyazaki or Kagoshima. (Original) 老舗の鰻屋さんです お昼は14時30ラストオーダーです 月曜日行きましたが、並ばずに入れました。 駐車場は沢山あります。 注文してから焼くので せいろ蒸しは20分くらいかかったと 思います。 美味しかったです！ きゅうりも美味しかった 宮崎か鹿児島産の養殖うなぎを 使用とのことです。

(Translated by Google) I visited this long-established eel restaurant, which has been in business for over 100 years. I ordered the unaju and shirayaki, and the unaju was delicious with the savory sauce and the eel cooked to perfection. I dipped the shirayaki in ginger soy sauce, and it was very elegant, and I could really taste the high quality of the eel itself. I've eaten eel many times at famous restaurants in Fukuoka, Yanagawa, and Hitoyoshi, but this was the most delicious I've ever had. I'll definitely be back. (Original) 創業100年以上の老舗の鰻屋さんと聞いて伺いました。 鰻重と白焼をたのみましたが、鰻重はタレの旨みとうなぎの焼き加減が絶妙でした。 白焼きは生姜醤油に浸して食べましたが、とにかく上品で鰻自体の質の良さを感じました。 福岡、柳川、人吉市内の有名店で何度となくうなぎを食べてきましたが、過去1の美味さでした。 必ずリピートしたいと思います。

(Translated by Google) I went with three women. I was in a private room on the right as soon as I entered, but it was so cold that I couldn't take off my outerwear. . Since women tend to get cold easily, I thought it would be best to refrain from going to that place. When I ordered some meat like steak, it was so tough that I couldn't eat it ^^; Offal hotpots and things that were just fried and coated with sauce were naturally delicious. The staff's customer service was good and I didn't have any bad experiences ^^♪ (Original) 女性3人で行かせて頂きました。 入ってすぐ右の個室だったのですが、アウターを脱げないほど寒かったです。。 女性は冷え性多いのであの場所に通すのは控えた方がいいと思いました。 ステーキみたいなお肉を頼んだら固くて固くて食べれたものじゃありませんでした^^; もつ鍋や、揚げてソース絡めるだけの物は当然美味しかったです。 スタッフの方の接客は良く、嫌な思いする事は無かったです^^♪

(Translated by Google) I took my daughter there, but the staff's attitude was really bad. They didn't even give me a chair for my daughter to sit on. When my daughter got up from her seat and stood in the hallway, From a young female clerk I was told that there were a lot of customers and they were busy so please don't block the road as it would be a nuisance. Who are you? It was the first time I saw someone say something like that to a customer, and I thought I would never go to a store like this again. There were about 2 or 3 young staff members, but they were all unfriendly. A store is only as good as its customers, so is it okay for the manager and other people to hire such people? I don't think you should say something like that to your daughter, who is only one year old and can't calm down. In that case, wouldn't it be nice if you could give me a private room? I felt really bad for my daughter too.She got mad at me even though she didn't understand anything. (Original) 娘を連れて行ったのですが店員の態度がほんと悪い 娘を座らせる椅子もなにもくれないくせに 娘が席を立って廊下に立ってると 女の若い店員から お客さんが満員で忙しいので邪魔なので道をふさがないでくださいと言われました 何様ですか？お客様にそんなこと言う人初めて見てこんな店２度といかないと思いました 若い店員2人３人ほどいましたが全員無愛想 お客様がいてこそのお店ですよね店長さんや他の人はそんな人を雇ってていいんですか？ ましてや落ち着けないまだ一歳の娘に対してそんなこと言うのはどうかと思います なら個室にしてくれればいいんじゃないんですか？ 娘もほんとにかわいそうでした何もわからないのに怒られて

(Translated by Google) The food is very bad. First of all, the sashimi smells really bad. Is it rotten? That's what I thought. When I ordered yakitori, it didn't have any flavor lol I don't understand lol I left everything behind. It's better not to go at all. It's too bad and I can't drink it. There was a person with armpits in the back room, so I felt like throwing up even more. (Original) とても料理がまずいです。 まず、刺身がとても臭いです。 腐ってんの？っておもいました。 焼き鳥頼んだら焼き鳥に味がついてませんでした笑 わけがわかりません笑笑 全部残して帰りました。 絶対行かない方がいいです。 まずすぎて酒が進みません。 後定員にワキガの人がいたので、余計に吐きそうになりました。

Quite big park with observatory tower and shopping facilities around. I saw kids playing in the park, elderly people relaxing on the benches and drinking refreshments.

Different types of traditional craft workshops available

Nice place classic arts and crafts, but the mood is ruined by load j-pop playing from loadspeakers. Stop tying to be Shibuya.

Very nice people, great hands on activities and cheap food. I'll be coming again for sure :D

Close? 😥

(Translated by Google) The much anticipated "Tsubonjiru Set Meal"?! No! My second choice was the "Umami Curry Rice Set" and Premium... Monday, September 29, 2025 📝 "Tsubonjiru" is a local dish from the Hitoyoshi Kuma region of Kumamoto Prefecture. It is a hearty soup served at celebrations and autumn festivals. Originally, it was served as a kaiseki meal, and the deep bowl in which the soup was served was called "tsubo," which means "pot soup," and the name "Tsubonjiru" evolved from that.

(Translated by Google) It was a huge roadside station. There was a parking lot at the bottom and stairs to climb, but elderly and disabled people could drive upstairs. The atmosphere in the store was so good that I couldn't help but buy one thing after another. It was a truly wonderful roadside station. (Original) 広大な道の駅でした 下に駐車場があり階段を上がるようになっていましたが、高齢者、障害者の方は車でそのまま上に上がる事が出来ます 店の雰囲気がとても良く思わず次から次へ購入しました、本当に素晴らしい道の駅でした

(Translated by Google) I visited on a very windy Sunday. There is a roadside station attached, so it was quite busy. It seems that you can try various experiences such as making chopsticks, making rings, and making pottery. I think it will be a great memory for those with small children. I also brought my children there when they were small and let them experience various things. (Original) 日曜日のめっちゃ風が強い日に訪問しました。道の駅が併設されており、そこそこ賑わってました。箸作りや指輪作り、陶芸など、様々な体験が出来るようです。小さい子供さんがいる方はいい思い出になると思います。私も子供が小さい時に連れてきて色々と体験させました。

Did the ring making course and was a great experience, very affordable and end result was very cool. Thanks

(Translated by Google) I visited for the first time in over a decade. It seems to have become a roadside station, but they don't sell vegetables, souvenirs, local crafts, and since it's a park, there are facilities around where you can experience things, but it's a bit lacking. (Original) 十数年ぶりに訪問しました、道の駅にもなった みたいです、野菜などなく、おみやげ品 地元の工芸品など販売、 パークなので周りに体験できる施設あり なんかいまひとつかな？

(Translated by Google) I came here for the first time in 20 years. As I watched the carp streamers sway, I remembered that I had brought my children there to play. The park is well maintained and very clean. (Original) 20年ぶりに来ました。こいのぼりが揺らぐのを眺め、子供たちを連れて遊びに来たこと思い出しました。 園内は整備され非常にきれいです

(Translated by Google) I don't know much about it since it's outside business hours, but it looks like you can have a lot of different experiences. (Original) 営業時間外で、よくわかりませんが、いろんな体験が出来る様です

(Translated by Google) I remember stopping by when I was in elementary school, and I remember just having a sense of spaciousness, and taking photos 📸📷️ riding on a large Kijiuma, a local toy. The parking lot 🅿️ was quite spacious, and there was a park at the top of the stairs, with a free exhibit museum, hands-on workshops for woodworking and pottery, a shochu exhibit museum, and an observation deck that doubled as a rest area (with a maze and a giant wooden Hina doll display), and the views were amazing. Considering how large the site was, it seemed lacking, and it felt empty and hollow. It was quiet for a roadside station, and not crowded for a public holiday. (Original) 小学生ぐらいの時に立ち寄った記憶がありますが、広いイメージだけと、大きめの作り物郷土玩具きじ馬にまたがって写真📸📷️を撮ったのを覚えてます。駐車場🅿️もまぁまぁ広く、階段を登った所に公園がありますが、無料の展示物資料館や木工や陶芸などの体験工房、焼酎の展示資料館があったり、休憩所を兼ねた展望所(迷路や巨大な木でほってある雛人形もあり)があって、眺めは最高でした。この広い敷地にしては物足りないようで、がらんとしていて、虚しく感じました。道の駅にしては閑散としていました。祝日にしては、賑わっていません。

(Translated by Google) Pottery was the best! My 7-year-old and 9-year-old daughters and I also tried it. My 7-year-old daughter even got to try the pottery wheel. There is Tokoname ware in Aichi, so I would like to continue trying pottery. Thank you, Takaba-sensei, for the wonderful time! (Original) 陶芸が最高でした！7歳と9歳の娘、母も挑戦しました。7歳娘はちゃっかりろくろも体験。愛知にも常滑焼きがあるので引き続き陶芸に挑戦したいと思います。 高場先生、素晴らしい時間をありがとうございました♪

Was expecting more ruins. Or at least more to see. Large stone stairs claiming to the top of where the castle was. Views were not so good.

Though the castle itself was destroyed in the early Meiji era, we were so impressed with its great stone wall, which was great enough for us to imagine the old age.

Remote place, but so calm and quiet, slow walk and feel the atmosphere of ancient time.

Good way to knowing Japan history

(Translated by Google) I came here in October 2025 as part of the 100 Famous Castles Stamp Rally. The stamps are available just inside the Hitoyoshi Castle History Museum. The castle is located at the confluence of the Kuma River and the Munekawa River, and uses these rivers as a moat. Highlights include the protruding stone walls and the Mizunotemon Gate, which was built to allow water transportation on the Kuma River, and is said to be rare even nationwide. A 5-10 minute climb up the stone steps will take you to the remains of the main castle. There aren't any particularly notable buildings left, but it was a very nice castle ruin. (Original) 2025年10月に100名城スタンプラリーで来ました。スタンプは人吉城歴史館の入ってすぐのところに置いてあります。 球磨川と胸川の合流点に位置していて、これらの川を堀として利用したお城です。見どころは石垣のはね出しや、球磨川を水運に利用するための水ノ手門が挙げられ、これらは全国的に見ても珍しいようです。 石段を5〜10分ほど登ると本丸跡まで行くことができます。特段建物が残っていたりする訳ではないのですが、とても良い城跡でした。

(Translated by Google) ☆Japan's 100 Greatest Castles☆ 10/20/2025 Located in the center of Hitoyoshi City, Kumamoto Prefecture, this unusual castle was ruled by the Sagara clan for nearly 700 years. Built from the Muromachi period through the Edo period, it offers a glimpse of the castle's past through each era. As the site of the Seinan War, most of the buildings were burned down, leaving only Sagara Gokoku Shrine standing. The stone walls feature a "musha-gaeshi" (a type of samurai guardrail) built using Western castle-building techniques. This type of samurai guardrail can only be seen at Hakodate Goryokaku, Tatsuoka Castle Goryokaku, and Shinagawa Battery. Due to time constraints, I wasn't able to visit the remains of the main keep on the mountain, but even just walking around the stone walls and castle grounds at the base was enjoyable. It was a wonderful castle that I'd like to return to. (Original) ☆日本100名城☆ 25.10.20 熊本県人吉市の中心、700年近く相良氏によって治められたという珍しい城。室町時代から江戸時代にかけて造営されており、時代ごとの城の姿が見られる。 西南戦争の舞台だったため建物はほとんど焼失して残っておらず、相良護国神社が建っているくらい。石垣は西洋築城技術のはね出し工法による武者返しが見られる。はね出し工法の武者返しは函館五稜郭と龍岡城五稜郭、品川台場でしか見られない。 山城部分の本丸跡地には時間の関係で行けなかったが、麓の石垣や城域を歩くだけでも楽しい。また来たいと思える素晴らしい城だった。

(Translated by Google) Ruled the town of Hitoyoshi for 700 years. This is a shrine where the Sagara family is enshrined. The shrine is the ruins of a feudal lord's residence, so there is a magnificent garden on the grounds, and the rocky mountain gives it an elegant atmosphere. The peak of autumn leaves has passed, but It felt like wabi-sabi again, and it was quaint.

(Translated by Google) It’s so beautiful when you visit during the cherry blossom season 🌸 There are quite a few tourists during the day, even on weekdays, but there is a free parking lot for tourists, so it is easy to get to. It is located within the grounds of the Hitoyoshi Castle ruins (a nationally designated historic site), which was the residence of the Sagara family, who ruled the Hitoyoshi area of ​​Kuma for 700 years. The precincts have a quiet atmosphere, making it a great place to take a leisurely stroll.

(Translated by Google) I came to Hitoyoshi to visit and the hot springs weren't open, so I stopped by. There is a pond with carp swimming on the premises. Bait is sold at the office, but it was sold out that day so I couldn't buy it. I saw a few things related to the destroyer Akizuki, so I wonder if the shrine is somehow related. I only stopped by that day, so I didn't know much about it. (Original) 人吉に遊びに来て温泉が空いてなかったのでふらっと訪問。敷地内に鯉が泳いでいる池があります。餌が事務所に売ってありますが、この日は売り切れで買えませんでした。 駆逐艦秋月に関するものがチラホラ見かけましたので、何らかの関係がある神社なのでしょうか。 この日はちょっと寄っただけなので詳しくは分かりませんでした。

(Translated by Google) I visited the shrine🙏🏻It is enshrined on the grounds of the Hitoyoshi Castle ruins (a nationally designated historic site), which was the residence of the Sagara family who ruled the Kuma Hitoyoshi area for 700 years. [The parking lot is reserved for tourists] We used the free parking lot. I crossed the Otate Mikado Bridge (stone bridge), but I was able to see the bottom through the gap, which gave me a bit of a chill since I'm afraid of heights💦I visited early on a Sunday morning, and I was able to see the beautiful garden and was able to visit with a refreshing feeling. I went to the shrine office to receive the goshuin, but he was not home. I couldn't find the red seal on the stamp when I visited. It seems that it is rare for this shrine to have a Shinto priest. Thank you very much☺ (Original) 参拝させて頂きました🙏🏻700年にわたりって球磨人吉地域を治めてきた相良家の居城であった、人吉城跡(国指定史跡)の敷地内に鎮座されております。【駐車場は観光客専用駐車場】無料を利用させて頂きました。御館御門橋(石橋)を渡りましたが隙間より下が見え高所恐怖症にはちょっとゾクゾクしました💦日曜日の早朝に伺いましたが綺麗な庭園も見れ清々しい気持ちで参拝出来ました。御朱印をお受けしたく社務所に向かいましたが、お留守でした。スタンプの朱印も私が参拝した時には見当たりませんでした。こちらの神社は神職様が居らっしゃる方が珍しいみたいですね。ありがとうございました☺

(Translated by Google) I had lunch nearby, so I parked my car there and went to pray. It was a peaceful and pleasant place. (Original) 近くでランチを食べたので、そのまま車を止めさせてもらい参拝しました。 穏やかな気持ちの良い場所でした。

(Translated by Google) Sunday, March 27, 2022 I visited Sagara Gokoku Shrine. It is located on the grounds of the ruins of Hitoyoshi Castle, which is a famous spot for cherry blossoms, and on this day, the cherry blossoms were in full bloom and the weather was nice, so there were many people laying out sheets on the grounds and enjoying the cherry blossom viewing. Among the many Myojin torii gates, this torii gate was the Yasukuni torii gate! I was unable to receive a stamp because I was not at the shrine office. There is a parking lot for tourists in the immediate vicinity. (Original) 2022年3月27日(日) 相良(さがら)護国神社に参拝しました。 桜の名所である人吉城跡の敷地内にあり、この日は桜も満開でお天気も良く、境内にはシートを敷いてお花見をしている方が多くいました🌸 明神系鳥居が多い中こちらの鳥居は靖国鳥居でした！社務所不在のため御朱印はいただけませんでした。すぐ近くに観光客専用駐車場があります。

(Translated by Google) This shrine is located on the ruins of Hitoyoshi Castle. The garden is very spacious and beautiful. It is best to take a leisurely walk while visiting. There is no parking lot, so you have to walk from a nearby parking lot. (Original) 人吉城跡地にある神社です。 庭内がとても広くキレイな庭園が広がっています。ゆっくりと散歩をしながらお参りして行くのがよいです。駐車場がないので近くの駐車場より歩いていかなければなりません。

This location is also the starting point for river rafting, as well as a local product center and information base. We enjoyed a relaxing river trip at dusk on a hot summer day. The river breeze is very pleasant and you can become one with the river flow. People walking along the riverbank and hotel guests wave kindly to us. Here you can experience the good atmosphere of Japan.

Took a small river boat ride but other options available, white river rafting too. Has a beautiful cafe with souvenir, toilets and outdoor seating.

This place is great. There is a fantastic view of the river. And the food is good.

Great place to visit!!!

There is really nothing to complain about except one thing. The facility is modern, clean and safe. The staff are friendly and not overwhelming (they let you have fun during the tours). The location is convenient for the city and the river itself is clean and relaxing. However, since I purchased the white water rafting course I expected white water rafting. Instead we did a 2-hour "rafting" course down a lazy river which was disappointing. If you're looking for excitement, maybe this isn't the place for you. I'm not sure why they don't say this on their website. I've included a video of the fastest section of their rafting course so go see for yourself. I'd recommend it for families with young children of 10 years old or less. It's strange because I want to give a worse review but everything else makes up for it. Just the actual experience was underwhelming. By the way, the staff doesn't speak English but a basic understanding of the language (N3) will do.

(Translated by Google) See more Japanese life, food and beautiful scenery on Instagram: donjulive - Visited in March 2025 - Located about a 10-minute walk from Hitoyoshi Station, "HASSENBA HITOYOSHI KUMAGAWA" stands on the banks of the Kuma River. It is a complex facility that has survived the heavy rain disaster and has been reborn. It is not only the departure point for the Kuma River cruise, but also a symbol of the revival that carries the mission of "discovery" and "development" of Hitoyoshi💪 In the museum, there is the "Kyushu Pancake Cafe" that has landed in Kumamoto for the first time. It provides soft and chewy pancakes using local ingredients, and can be enjoyed at the open-air seats overlooking the Kuma River and the ruins of Hitoyoshi Castle. In addition, the attached "HITO × KUMA STORE" also sells products from the southern part of Kumamoto that was severely affected by the heavy rain disaster, and has also launched original brand products that help with revival. You can feel the dedication to local creation💗 In addition, you can also sign up for a rafting counter and an electric bicycle tour here. Although the bar on the second floor was not open during the visit, you can enjoy the beautiful view of the Kuma River and the ruins of Hitoyoshi Castle from the terrace. This time, I experienced the Kuma River sightseeing boat "Plum Blossom Ferry". I visited in early spring, and the cherry blossoms have not yet bloomed, but I can appreciate the stone walls of the ruins of Hitoyoshi Castle up close and witness the scenery of the waves reflected on the water✨ (Original) 看更多旅日生活美食美景IG：donjulive - 2025.03訪問 - 位於從人吉站步行約10分鐘，在球磨川畔佇立著「HASSENBA HITOYOSHI KUMAGAWA」 是跨越豪雨災害而重生的複合設施，不僅是球磨川遊船的啟航點，更可以說是承載著人吉「發現」、「發展」使命的復興象徵💪 館內有首次登陸熊本的「九州鬆餅咖啡」，提供使用當地食材提供鬆軟Q彈的鬆餅，更能在眺望球磨川和人吉城遺址的露天座位享用。另外附設的「HITO × KUMA STORE」裡也販售受豪雨災害影響嚴重的熊本南部地區的產品，也推出了有助於復興的原創品牌商品，可以感受到對於地方創生的用心💗 此外，這裡也可以報名的泛舟櫃檯和電動自行車之旅。雖然2樓附設的酒吧在造訪時沒有營業，但可以從露台眺望球磨川和人吉城遺址的絕美景色。 這次體驗了球磨川遊覽船「梅花之渡」。初春時節造訪，櫻花尚未綻放，但近距離欣賞人吉城遺址的石牆，並目睹到映照在水面上的波光景色✨

(Translated by Google) I came here because I wanted to experience rafting down the Kuma River. There is also a cafe with delicious pancakes and a souvenir shop on the premises. Unfortunately, the Kuma River rafting was cancelled due to low water levels, so I joined the "Umehana no Watashi" cruise down the Kuma River. I was able to see the stone walls of Hitoyoshi Castle up close. The water in the Kuma River was so clear that you could see the riverbed, and I had a wonderful time! (Original) 球磨川くだりを体験したくて来ました。パンケーキが美味しいカフェやお土産コーナーも併設されています。残念ながら、球磨川くだりは水位不足でお休みだったので、球磨川を遊覧する"梅花の渡し"に参加しました。人吉城の石垣を近くから見ることができました。球磨川は川底が見えるくらい水が澄んでいて、のどかな時間を過ごせました！

One of the best Soba noodles I had in my life! Staff are friendly too, they greet us happily when we enter.

Michelan star soba place in Kumamoto. Noodles is very tasty its self. And kakiage is also great

The waitresses/manager made a superb effort of translating the menu for us..they even enlisted the help of a fellow customer. Thank you for making us feel so welcomed. Prices were reasonable. Would definitely visit again. Oiishi!

Outstanding! Both cold and hot soba dishes are very delicious!

Highly recommended

Perfection.

(Translated by Google) Weekday Lunch, September 2025 I parked my car in the large parking lot at the back. It's a beautifully designed soba restaurant. I entered the restaurant a little after 10:30 AM. A waiter politely guided me to a counter seat. The menu was on the table, and I carefully examined it. Today, I ordered Zaru Soba! However, I was a little worried that that alone wouldn't be enough to satisfy my hunger, so I also ordered some hot "Kashiwa Soba." The Zaru Soba was served first. It was good! Delicious! Maybe I should have ordered a large portion? I finished it in no time. Then, the hot Kashiwa Soba was served. It was delicious, but unfortunately, the noodles lost their firmness towards the end and started to fall apart, which was a shame. I finished the whole thing, enjoyed some soba soup, and was very satisfied. Thank you for the meal♪ (Original) 2025年9月　平日ランチ 車は裏手の大きな駐車場に停めます。 綺麗な作りのお蕎麦屋さんです。 10時半過ぎに入店します。 ホール係から丁寧な案内でカウンター席に案内されます。 メニューは卓上に置いてあり、じっくり拝見です。 本日は、ざるそば！　でも、それだけではお腹が治るか少し不安となり、あったかい＂かしわそば＂も頼みます。 先に、ざるそばが提供されます。 良いですね、美味い！ これは大盛りにした方が良かったか？ あっという間に完食します。 その後、あったかい、かしわそばが提供されます。美味いのですが、さすがに後半は麺のつなぎが弱まってバラバラになってしまって、残念です。 最後まで完食、そば湯をいただき、満足です。 おごちそうさまでした♪

The meat was not as delicious as I expected. However, this restaurant seems popular among local people. The staff is kind and helpful.

(Translated by Google) I ordered the all-you-can-eat course (100 minutes) for 3,180 yen. Drink bar 360 yen, all-you-can-eat soft serve, all-you-can-eat corn flakes (3 types), all-you-can-eat chocolate cream, and the meat will be served by a robot. There is an all-you-can-eat buffet of vegetables, mushrooms, rice, and desserts, as well as Japanese-style curry. The mushrooms were delicious🍄‍🟫 (Original) 食べ放題3180円のコース(100分)頼みました。ドリンクバー360円　ソフトクリームも食べ放題　コンフレーク(3種類)乗せ放題　チョコレートクリームかけ放題　お肉はロボット君が運んでくれますが．野菜やきのこ　ご飯　デザートバイキング式で食べ放題　和風のカレーもあります。きのこが美味しかったです🍄‍🟫

(Translated by Google) I visited for dinner and had the beef and pork shabu-shabu course. All all-you-can-eat courses were 100 minutes. Even though it was a weekend and there were a lot of customers, the food was served quickly and there was more than enough time. Perhaps there was a shortage of employees, but even when we called to respond to gas shortages, it took some time to respond, but the serving robots that compensated for the lack of manpower seemed to be working well. There are other restaurants in Hitoyoshi City, such as Sunloop and Horai Chaya, but the one thing they have in common is that they are reasonably priced. This store also seems to be about 500 to 1000 yen cheaper than other similar stores. Although the quality of the food is reasonable, as the food was not fully thawed, the lunch menu is even cheaper and the cost performance is definitely better. A wide variety of seasonings are available. In addition to vegetables, salads, and fruits for shabu-shabu, you can also enjoy soft-serve ice cream. All of the seats in the store are box seats, and there are table-style and horigotatsu-style seating. The parking lot is quite large and can easily accommodate over 30 cars. (Original) ディナーで伺い牛肉&豚肉のしゃぶしゃぶコースを頂きました。 食べ放題コースは全て100分でした。この日は週末で来客が多かったにも関わらず、提供が早く時間は十分すぎる程。 従業員の方は足りていないのか、ガス切れ対応等でお呼びしても対応迄にやや時間を要しましたが、人手不足を補完する配膳ロボットが上手く機能していた印象です。 こちら人吉市内で他にサンループやほうらい茶屋などを展開されていますが、共通するのはリーズナブルという点。こちらの店舗も他の類似店に比べ500〜1000円程度安価な印象。 解凍が不十分だったり等、料理の質はそれなりではありますが、ランチは更に安価でコスパは間違いなく良いかと。 各種調味料は種類が充実。また、しゃぶしゃぶ用の野菜やサラダ、フルーツ等のほかソフトクリームも自由に頂けます。 店内は全てボックス席でテーブル型と掘り炬燵型があります。 駐車場はかなり広く、30台以上はゆうに停められそうです。

(Translated by Google) I made a reservation for a holiday dinner and visited! I entered the store and was asked, "Please wait..." so I waited! A group of customers who came in from behind were guided first... I wondered if I hadn't seen it, and was waiting for the next one. During that time, I was shown around the customers who came in... It was sad that the number of people was the same (;_;)... I think it can't be helped since it was a busy time in the evening, but I hope to see you next time. (Original) 祝日のディナーに予約をして訪問しました！ 入店し「お待ち下さい…」と言われたので待っていた所！ 後ろから、入ってこられた１組のお客様を先にご案内され… 見えてなかったかなぁ…と思い、次かと思い待っていた所、 その間に入って来られたお客様の方をご案内されました…同じ定員さん悲しかったです(;_;)… 夕方時の忙しい時間帯だったのでしょうがないとは思いましたが次回は宜しくお願いします。

(Translated by Google) I heard that the regular menu is delicious, but since I went during New Year's, I only had the all-you-can-eat shabu-shabu. However, it is very cheap for an all-you-can-eat shabu-shabu. It seems like all-you-can-eat shabu-shabu is available during seasonal events such as the year-end and New Year holidays. For women and children only, the 60-minute course will be more than enough to fill you up. Every course comes with chicken. If you don't need it, it might be better to say so first. With the all-you-can-eat shabu-shabu course, you can order fried chicken, french fries, and more. It seems like they don't make it in advance, but make it after ordering. The salad bar was also well stocked. The hotpot vegetable corner was well stocked, and the staff seemed to be checking and replenishing the stock. As an after-meal treat, we enjoyed soft serve ice cream and chocolate fondue. Chocolate fondue comes with mini donuts and marshmallows. (Original) 通常メニューが美味しいと聞いてましたが、年始に行った為しゃぶしゃぶ食べ放題のみでした。 しかし、しゃぶしゃぶ食べ放題にしてはとても安価です。 年末年始などの季節行事で、しゃぶしゃぶ食べ放題のみになるようですね。 女性や子供のみだと、60分コースでも十分すぎるほど満腹になります。 コースのどれにでも鶏肉がついています。 不要であれば先に言った方がいいかもしれません。 しゃぶしゃぶ食べ放題コースで、唐揚げやフライドポテトなどを注文することができます。 作り置きではなく、注文してから作ってくださるようです。 サラダバーも充実していました。 鍋用野菜コーナーも充実しており、スタッフさんがチェックをされしっかり補充してらっしゃるようでした。 食後のお楽しみとして、ソフトクリームやチョコフォンデュをいただきました。 チョコフォンデュにはミニドーナツとマシュマロが用意されています。

(Translated by Google) 〇We ordered the all-you-can-eat lunch. 〇The fries and fried chicken were freshly fried and delicious, and I was satisfied with the taste of the food. However, there were a few things that bothered me. -There was no announcement about when the last order would be taken, so orders were closed before I could check. -The all-you-can-eat buffet was limited to 60 minutes, but in reality, it seemed like you had to finish your meal within 60 minutes, pay, and leave immediately. I wish they had explained that you had 60 minutes until you had to leave. -Five minutes before the end, a staff member came by and said, "We'll collect your tablet." An explanation like this at the beginning would have helped me prepare better. -Also, when my child was pouring himself a drink from the drink bar, he was suddenly told, "No leaving any food!" which surprised him. While it may be a rule, as a family traveler, it would have been appreciated if the tone and manner of communication were a little gentler. The system was different from the all-you-can-eat restaurants I usually go to, and it was my first experience of being required to pay and leave within the mealtime. I think it would be more reassuring if they could explain more clearly that additional charges will be incurred if the time is exceeded. (Original) 〇お昼のランチ食べ放題を注文しました。 〇ポテトや唐揚げは揚げたてで美味しく、料理の味には満足です。 ただ、いくつか気になる点がありました。 ・ラストオーダーの案内がなかったため、こちらから確認する間もなく注文が締め切られました。 ・食べ放題は60分制とのことでしたが、実際には「60分以内に食事を終えて、すぐにお会計・退店する必要がある」スタイルのようです。退店時間までが60分だと事前に説明してほしかったです。 ・終了5分前になるとスタッフの方が来て「タブレットを回収します」と言われました。これも最初の段階で説明があると、心構えができたと思います。 ・また、子どもがドリンクバーでジュースを注いでいたところ、「残すの禁止です！」と急に注意されたようで、本人も驚いていました。確かにルールかもしれませんが、口調や伝え方をもう少し柔らかくしてもらえると、子連れとしてはありがたいです。 普段行く食べ放題のお店とはシステムが異なり、食事時間内に会計と退店まで求められるのは初めての経験でした。時間超過で追加料金が発生する旨も、もう少し丁寧に説明いただけると安心して利用できると思います。

(Translated by Google) I had beef and black pork shabu-shabu. The quality of the meat was so good I wondered if it was really black pork. I lived in Kagoshima for about 10 years, but it was completely different. I guess there are different kinds of black pork. The menu said the beef was loin, but it was definitely belly meat. I don't think that's very good. It wasn't bad, but I was a little disappointed. (Original) 牛肉＆黒豚しゃぶしゃぶをいただきました。が、これ本当に黒豚？と思う程の質のお肉でした。鹿児島に10年程住んでいましたが全然違うものでした。まあ黒豚にもピンキリがあるとは思いますが。牛肉はロースとメニューには書いてありますがどうみてもバラ肉ですよね。これはちょっといかがなものかと。別に不味い訳ではないけどなんかちょっと残念な気持ちになりました。

Awesome view & meal!you have to come here for lunch.

Great place for a fancy meal. It's not cheap, so expect to spend over 2,000 yen. But it has great cuisine. And a fantastic atmosphere, particularly the land scaping around the restaurant. Spectacular view, too. It's definitely a treat or date spot. Not the best choice if you are just looking for a quick place to eat. It can be busy, so reservations help.

Best restaurant in Kyushu.

(Translated by Google) As soon as I entered the store, I felt uneasy. I couldn't find the staff, the customers were staring at me, and I felt like I was spending a lot of time not knowing what to do. It's a nice restaurant, but perhaps because it was busy, most of the staff were in the kitchen, so it was difficult to get a seat. I received a cake set. The cheesecake was rich, but the sweetness was modest, so I felt it was not very satisfying. It seemed like there was a menu where you could order by time, so I was really disappointed because I wanted to get shaved ice. (Original) お店に入って直ぐに不安でした。店員さんが見当たらず、お客さんにジローっと見られて、どうすればいいかわからない時間が長く感じました。素敵なレストランですが、忙しいのか店員さんはほとんど厨房に入っていて、なかなか席に案内して頂けませんでした。ケーキセットを頂きました。チーズケーキは濃厚ですが、甘さ控えめなで満足度は低く感じました。時間で注文出来るメニューがあるらしく、かき氷を頂きたかったので非常に残念でした。

(Translated by Google) This environment is amazing! The gate you enter from the road is impressive and builds expectations. The approach from the gate is long and on a slight hill, so you have to walk uphill to arrive at a stone building that is just as elegant as the gate. There are several buildings on the premises, including a restaurant building and a gallery building. The gallery has plates on display with some cute plates lined up. There are several table sets around the restaurant building, so you can enjoy eating outside in the spring and fall. I ordered the stewed hamburger steak for lunch that day. It was very tender and delicious. It was a sunny day and the view outside was amazing. I highly recommend this restaurant. (Original) この環境は凄い！ 道路から入る門が立派で期待が膨らむ。 門からアプローチも長く少し高台になっているので上り坂を上がって到着すると石造りの建物があり門同様に瀟洒な建物が現れる。 こちらは敷地内に何棟か建物がありレストラン棟とギャラリー棟がある。ギャラリーはお皿が展示していて可愛いお皿が幾つか並んでいます。 レストラン棟の周りにはテーブルセットが幾つもあり春と秋には外での食事も楽しめる。 この日は煮込みハンバーグをランチで注文。 とても柔らかく美味しくいただきました。 この日は晴れていて外の景色も最高でした。 オススメなレストランです。

(Translated by Google) I'd been wanting to try this place for a while, and finally got to go. The salad with homemade Caesar dressing was quite filling, but I finished it all in one go. It was so delicious! I chose the fish lunch. I was surprised to see that it was sanma (Pacific saury). The aroma was so good, my appetite was already whetted. I was even more surprised by how delicious it was. This is probably the only place where you can enjoy sanma in such a stylish and delicious way. The view from the window and the interior of the restaurant are both beautiful. It was a great time! (Original) ずっと気になっていて やっと今回行くことができました 自家製シーザードレッシングのサラダは 結構ボリュームありましたが ぺろっと食べられるくらい とても美味しかったです 魚のランチを選びました 出て来たのがまさかの秋刀魚でびっくり 香りがとても良くて 食べる前から食欲そそられました 美味しさにまたびっくり こんなふうに秋刀魚をおしゃれに美味しく食べられるのはきっとここしかありません 窓からの景色も、店内もとても素敵な空間です 良い時間でした♪♪

(Translated by Google) The moment you open the door, you're greeted by a lovely atmosphere with large, open windows. The food is stylish and delicious to look at. (Original) 扉を開けた瞬間、窓が大きく開放的な店内で素敵な雰囲気です。 料理は、目でも美味しいシャレた感じです。
