Savor Nature, Experience the beauty of the Japanese countryside as you hike through woodlands, bamboo groves and rice paddies. Walk the Historic Trails, take a trip back in time by walking along stone-paved paths from the Edo period that are still in use today. It is about a 10 km hike, a medium difficulty trail. Don't forget to ring the bells to keep the bears away during the hike ☺️

Little village with historical scenery and beautiful historical feeling. There is a hiking 🥾 path from Magome to Tsumago (8 km), which was wonderful experience.

Famous post town along the Nakasendo road. ℹ️ Great information center with friendly staff and brochures. Get a stamp for your souvenir book, too! 🥟 Great food stalls, including regional specialties. 🌰 Chestnuts are huge in this area, so try the chestnut soft serve. Also try the stuffed buns (called Oyaki) that are a specialty. 🛍️ Lots of souvenir shopping. Magome-juku is different from some other postal towns (like Nakatsugawa) in that it's purely running on tourism. So, great place for souvenirs (go somewhere else if you want to see locals!) 🚍 You can take a bus from Nakatsugawa, stop is at the train station . 🚶‍♀️If you want a really fun adventure, walk from Nakatsugawa! (And put your bag in a coin locker at the station) It's about 2 hours along the Nakasendo, is well signposted. 🚻 Many well-marked, clean toilets 🥾 If you're hiking the Nakasendo, I can't recommend it enough! Although the Magome to Tsumago portion is the famous part, there's so much more to it! ❗ I've created a public list for recommended Nakasendo spots, check it out.

Although not as large scale as Narai-juku, Magome-juku feels more picturesque with its gently sloping cobblestone street, functioning water mills, and beautiful mountain range as the backdrop. It is a popular point along the Nakasendo Trail that connects to Tsumago-juku. There are several free resting spots along the street, with souvenir shops and restaurants throughout. We tried the Hida beef croquette and bun, both were delicious. The chestnut ice cream was also a pleasant treat. We parked at a free parking lot near two large souvenir stores, which was a convenient starting point for exploring the area.

This is a great place to visit. There's a brilliant hike of 8km to Tsumago, but beware! The last bus back leaves at 16.40. Magome has lots of charming houses, restaurants and shops, but be careful as they all close at 17.00. There is nothing open after that!

Beautiful place, make sure you reach there early. We got there by 6 pm and it was dark and only one restaurant open.

Beautiful starting point for tourists to walk a lovely part of the Nakasendo trail to Tsumago-juku. In case you don't want to walk about 3 hours the town itself is really worth to visit. Nice architecture and old authentic buildings all over the place. You can also shop and dine here.

A very beautiful village where history and nature come together. A nice experience, but unfortunately, as a tourist you mostly need cash, cards are not accepted in many shops.

Loved the walk from Magome to Tsumago - the first 3km are straight up, around 10 to 12%…then you descend along streams and rivers. Very beautiful and highly recommended. It’s 8km however there is an optional extension to the waterfalls which is 3.5km one way…so you could get 15km of hiking if you wished.

The End of the Road: Nostalgic Quiet in Tsumago-juku ​The arrival at Tsumago-juku was the highlight of completing the charming hike from Magome. After hours of walking the ancient forest paths of the Nakasendo, the main restored street, with its traditional wooden houses, offered a welcome and peaceful respite. ​However, as the day drew to a close, it seemed the ancient village entered a state of slumber. The quiet was absolute, yet the options were limited: most shops and galleries that operate during the day had closed their doors, with only a few lights shining behind the madobe (windows). ​For the weary travelers, the challenge shifted from walking to logistics: finding a hot meal before the return bus arrived. With a very limited service menu, only a small variety of places remained open—perhaps a humble Ocha-ya (teahouse) serving a final bowl of noodles, or a small shop selling the sweet and satisfying local delicacy, Gohei Mochi. ​These are precisely the moments when one experiences Tsumago-juku most authentically: not as a tourist destination, but as a quiet, tranquil village. The wait for the bus, facing the ancient wooden houses under the shifting evening sky, becomes a moment of reflection and serenity, where the taste of hot Miso and the murmur of the nearby river mark the successful end of the historical adventure.

A trip to remember. We took the roughly 4h30min long Nakasendo Trail from Nakatsugawa to Tsumago-juku and it left us speachless. The Ochiai cobblestone path felt like magic out of a Ghibli movie and the well preserved edo houses of Magome & Tsumago led the way into a journey theough time. We‘ve stayed at the Masushiroya Ryokan and had a fantastic time and food there. The nightime lantern walk was my personal favorite! #TrustmeIamGerman

We wish we had spent more time there! Beautiful and has a very helpful tourism office. (They even helped us find vegan-friendly accommodations.) Delightful coffee shop that sells local art. A great town for nature and buying souvenirs that are NOT made in China.

Nestled about 250km south of Tokyo, hidden in the Nagiso mountain ranges lays the historic village of Tsumago-juku, with records dating back to 1640, it is said this village is much older, it is a preserved historic site and a total charm and honor to walk these streets.

Tsumago-juku turned out to be our preferred choice for a return visit to soak in the rustic charm of the quintessential Edo-era postal town. My party started our hike from Nagiso station down south to Mogame-juku via Tsumago-juku. The hike was an easy one and we enjoyed the lush forest and scenery along the way. We self-drove and stayed at the Library at Iida, an AirBnB located about 40 minutes away at the town of Iida. Highly recommended.

Thought there was going to be a tour. We planned our afternoon to come here. It seems to just be a gift shop now. The bread was really good and staff nice.

One of my most favorite buffet lunch restaurants which serves a lot of kinds of vegetable dishes. Need reservation in advance, or you might miss it.

Great place to visit for fresh tasty variety of food. It does have a theme of Chicory.

The food of the restaurant is very tasty and healthy...it feels like home

(Translated by Google) I went there and bought some! The "Kurikinton Fresh Bread" I bought at a kiosk a few days ago was pretty good. I had been planning a trip to Ena and had always wanted to visit Chikori Village. These two ideas combined, so I decided to visit for the first time. [Exterior/Interior, etc.] - A factory-attached store. Plenty of parking. - Inside is a souvenir shop and buffet restaurant. - They were just serving freshly baked "Kurikinton Fresh Bread," and there was a line. It's a very popular shop. [Purchase] - Boxed Kurikinton Fresh Bread, ¥2,100 [Review] - Freshly baked bread is best if you're eating it right away. Apparently, the boxed (oxygen-free packaging) is recommended for takeaway. I chose the boxed version. -When I got home, I ate the bread right after opening it, and it was fluffy and moist with the hot water, and the flavor of the chestnut paste and butter was delicious. (Original) さっそく現地行って買ってきました！ 数日前、キオスクで買った「栗きんとん生食パン」がけっこううまかった。 もともと恵那旅行を計画していたこと、ちこり村へ行きたいと思っていたこと。 思いが合体して、今回初訪問してみた。 【外観・内装等】 ・工場併設型店舗。駐車場はたくさん確保されている。 ・なかは土産物店とブッフェレストランが一緒に入っている。 ・ちょうど焼きたて「栗きんとん生食パン」が提供されていて、行列ができていた。超人気店。 【購入】 ・栗きんとん生食パン 箱入り ￥2,100 【感想】 ・すぐに食べるなら焼きたて。持ち帰るなら箱入り（脱酸素包装）がおすすめらしい。私は箱入りをチョイス。 ・帰宅後開封直後のパンをいただきましたが、湯種でふんわりしっとり、栗きんとんとバターの風味がよきでした。

(Translated by Google) This was my second time. I arrived around 11:30, but the closest parking lot was full, so I parked in Parking Lot 3. I reserved my spot online for the Barber's Dining lunch buffet (2,200 yen), and even though it was full, I was able to wait about 15 minutes before being seated. I was so excited by the sheer number of dishes and sweets on offer that it was hard to choose. Everything was delicious, but the chicory gratin in particular had a texture unlike anything I'd ever had before, making it the best. I wasn't able to try all the flavors, so I'd like to come again. The staff were also polite and pleasant. (Original) 今回で2回目です 11時半頃到着しましたが、近い駐車場がいっぱいで、第3駐車場に停めました。 ネットで順番を取っておいたバーバーズダイニングのランチビュッフェ(2200円)を満員でしたが15分程待ち入る事が出来ました。 迷うほどのたくさんの料理＆スィーツにテンション上がり、どれもとても美味しかったですが、中でもチコリのグラタンは今までに食べた事のない食感で最高でした。 全種類制覇は出来なかったので、また来たいと思います。 スタッフさんも丁寧で気持ちの良い対応でした。

(Translated by Google) It's best to make a reservation for the chestnut kinton "nama" bread. It's not available in the afternoon. I ate it at the cafe. Takeaway is lined up in the morning, so you can buy it. You have to line up for freshly baked bread. It's on the right side as you enter. The line for breakfast is on the left. They also have premium nama bread. If you want that, get a numbered ticket. It's quite a long line. Be prepared and go first thing in the morning. The first one is baked from 9:40. The premium one is baked at 10:00. (Original) 栗きんとん「生」食パンは予約した方が良いです。午後は買えません。私はカフェで食べました。朝だと持ち帰り用が並んでるので買えます。焼きたては、並びます。入口入って右側です。左はモーニングの列です。プレミアム生食パンもあります。それが欲しい場合は整理券貰いましょう。結構な列です。覚悟して朝イチで行きましょう。一番目は9:40～焼き上がります。プレミアムは10:00焼き上がりです。

(Translated by Google) The historical museum is essential to learning about Naegi Castle. You can really appreciate the splendor of Naegi Castle from above. It's Japan's Machu Picchu. Recommended. (Original) 苗木城を知る為には欠かせないのが史料館なんです。その上で見る苗木城の素晴らしさの実感が湧いてきます。日本のマチュピチュですよ。推薦します。

(Translated by Google) This historical museum is located right next to the ruins of Naegi Castle. There is also a fee for parking here. As I was short on time I didn't go inside this time, so I just got out of the car and quickly stamped my car with the "Continued Top 100 Castles of Japan" stamp and left, and parking was free. They also sold three types of castle stamps. (Original) 苗木城跡からすぐの史料館。 駐車場はこちらも有料です。 時間がなかったため今回は入館はせず、車から降りて続日本100名城のスタンプだけをパパっと押して帰れば、駐車場代は無料でした。 ご城印も3種類販売していましたよ～。

(Translated by Google) Parking is charged at 500 yen per hour, but if you enter the museum, you can get a 200 yen discount coupon. The must-see at this museum is the diorama of Naegi Castle. Climb the castle with Naegi Castle in mind! There were also other interesting exhibits, such as the origins of the Toyama clan. The story of the anti-Buddhist movement in this area was very interesting. I think it's a must-see if you go to Naegi Castle. (Original) 駐車場は有料で1時間500円ですが、こちらの資料館に入場すると200円割引券をもらえました。この資料館で見るべきものは何と言っても苗木城のジオラマでしょう。在りし日の苗木城を頭に入れて登城しましょう！他にも遠山氏の成り立ちなど興味深い展示がありました。この地域の廃仏毀釈の話とか興味深ったですよ。苗木城に行くなら必見の場所かと思います。

(Translated by Google) The last time I visited Naegi Castle ruins, I was pressed for time and couldn't visit, so this time I was able to achieve my goal. Photography was only allowed inside the museum. For a museum of this nature, there were many exhibits on display as reference materials. I learned a lot. (Original) 前回苗木城趾を訪問した際は時間に追われて訪問出来なかったので、今回は目標が達成できました。 館内で撮影できるのは僅かのみ。 こういった資料館にしては多くの展示物が資料として飾られています。勉強になりました。

(Translated by Google) October 12, 2025 This is a museum about Naegi Castle and the Toyama clan. Even though I've been able to visit the nearby area, I've never been able to climb the castle, but I finally did! I recommend checking out the museum as preparation before climbing the castle. Don't forget that the JAF discount applies to admission fees, and parking fees are also discounted when you enter the museum, so imagine what it was like back then as you climb the castle. (Original) 2025年10月12日 苗木城と遠山氏についての資料館です。 近隣には行けてもなかなか登城出来ずにいましたが、やっと登城出来ました！ 登城前準備として資料館を観て行かれることをオススメします。 入場料はJAF割がききますのでお忘れなく、入館すると駐車料金も割引になるので、当時を想像しながら登って下さい。

(Translated by Google) Luckily, it was a free admission day! It's a small museum, but the staff's polite service made me feel their love for the museum and the local community. I've been to lots of museums and archives, but this kind of attitude is important. I answered a quiz and even received a commemorative card. Thank you very much. (Original) 入館無料デーでした、ラッキー！ 小さい史料館ですが、丁寧な対応から館員さんの史料館に対する愛、地域に対する愛を感じました。博物館や資料館はたくさん行ってますが、こういう気持ちは大事ですよね。 クイズに答えて、記念カードも貰っちゃいました。ありがとうございます。

(Translated by Google) The model of Naegi Castle 🏯 is amazing. Photography is prohibited inside the museum, so I took a photo. (Original) 苗木城🏯模型が素晴らしい。 館内はカメラ禁止だからかちあり。

Excellent historic landmark worth the hike or bus ride from Nakatsugawa. Great views of the surrounding countryside with interesting information regarding the period and development of the castle. We arrived late morning on a Saturday during Summer and it wasn’t very busy. Public amenities are available and clean

It's about an hour's walk from Nakatsugawa Railway Station. From the station head north and take the road bridge across the Kiso River. Then immediately turn sharp left and walk down the footpath to the quiet minor road and follow it west along the north bank of the river. After a few hundred metres and a sharp left bend you'll see a sign in English for Naegi Castle Ruins. Hike for about 20 mins up to the ruins.

Not much of a castle is left, but the view is beautiful and it’s fun to imagine the castle that was once there. 1/24/2024 update It snowed so I decided to check out the view from the castle after work and it was GORGEOUS. After admiring the view and playing in the snow, I got a hot drink from the vending machine in the parking lot and warmed up my freezing hands 😁

A fantastic site for a castle. Panoramic views over the valley in which Nakatsugawa lies, views over the Kiso and Agi rivers. So an important landmark for the local Lord to control. The castle and surrounding buildings are gone. We can create and build beauty on our rich world. Then time, ignorance, anger and sometimes greed wears them down. The walk up from the Kiso river is worthwhile. It's not listed on Google maps. However it offers a winding trek to the north gate.

Really nice ruins a with some beautiful bamboo hikes around. Love it and recommend

Been here twice now, we walked from Nakatsugawa Station - a fair walk but pretty beautiful... walked along the river to a path up the back of the mountain, a fair climb up but great exercise :) the place itself has GORGEOUS views towards Nakatsugawa and the surrounding peaks. I'm sure there are bus services to the peak if you're not up for the walk and climb, either way i love this lookout!

Ruin on top of a mountain. Only the foundations remain. There is a viewing platform on top from where the surrounding mountain range can be seen. The hike up the mountain is steep and it takes around 40 minutes to get there from the Nakatsugawa station in a fast pace. There are multiple signs explaining which parts of the castle were formerly here, however they are only in Japanese but QR Codes to an English explanation is provided.

The food was amazing, being vegetarian its pretty hard to find any vegetarian food in the cities let alone all the way out here! Organic, delicious.. we stumbled upon this all you can eat buffet while driving past. I deffinately recommend this to anyone! Best food in Japan!

Soooooo delicious!!! Lots of choices of both traditional and original tastes dishes made from local organic vegetables. I wish there was such a place near home 😍

(Translated by Google) This restaurant focuses on vegetables. It will be buffet style, so you will have to pay at the entrance. Now it costs over 2000 yen. Prices vary seasonally. (Confirmation required) You can also eat chikori. If you like vegetables, I think it's a good idea to try it once. (Original) 野菜中心のレストランです。 ブュッフェスタイルになりますので入口で料金を払うシステムになります。 今は２０００円以上します。 料金は季節変動します。（要確認） ちこりも食べる事ができます。 お野菜好きは一度行ってみると良いかと思います。

(Translated by Google) I went for the breakfast menu, which is only available on weekends and holidays. I usually can't come here because of work, so I took a day off just for this! I wish they'd open on weekdays too! You can choose rice or bread for 600 yen (750 yen for rice with salmon). The rice is all-you-can-eat, and you can choose one bread from the bakery section for under 230 yen. The salad bar, drinks, miso soup, soup, and stir-fried vegetables are all-you-can-eat! You're limited to one boiled egg per person. Wow, this is a bargain. It's so popular, it's no wonder it gets so crowded. The salad bar has a wide selection of sprouts. I used to dislike pea sprouts, but thanks to this place, I can now eat them. I also tried the chikori, which was slightly bitter and seemed healthy. The lunch buffet I saw as I was leaving looked really delicious, so I decided to go back for lunch later. It's around 2000 yen until August, and a little more expensive from September to December. Is it because it's chestnut season? It was very crowded, even though it was a weekday. I'm not sure if it was because of summer vacation or just normal, but it might be a good idea to make a reservation. And because it was so busy, there was a one-hour limit. The seats were cramped for two people. Huh? An hour for lunch? I wish I could have eaten more slowly, but it was cheap, so I won't complain (or at least I'm complaining). Okay, I have to hurry and get it! I went to check out the food, and there were a lot of vegetable-based dishes! There were so many varieties, and I wanted to try them all, so I tried a little bit of each, even some vegetables I'm not a big fan of, but everything was delicious.♪ Wow, a cooking method like this! I'm thinking about trying it at home. I went four times, but I couldn't try all the varieties! What a shame! Even in an hour, it was quite a lot to eat. The watermelon was incredibly sweet and delicious. It's quite far from my house, so I can't go there often, but I'd like to go again on a drive. (Original) 土日祝限定のモーニングを食べに行きました いつも仕事で来られないのでこれのために休みを取って来ました！ぜひ平日もやってほしいです！ 600円でご飯かパン選べて（ご飯に鮭付けると750円）ご飯は食べ放題、パンはベーカリーコーナーで230円以下のパンを１つ選べます そしてサラダバー、ドリンク、味噌汁とスープ、野菜炒めが食べ放題！ ゆで卵は１人１つまで いや、破格です。そら人気ですわ、そら混雑しますわ サラダバーはスプラウト系が豊富で、豆苗苦手だったのですがここのおかげで食べられる様になりました ちこりもはじめましてでしたが、ほんのり苦くて身体に良さそう そして去り際に見たランチバイキングがとても美味しそうだったので後日ランチにもうかがいました 8月までは2000円位で、９月〜１２月まではちょっとだけ高いみたい。栗の時期だから？ 平日なのにとても混雑していて、夏休み中だからか普段からなのか分かりませんが予約して行ったほうが良いかも そして混雑してるからか１時間制限でした。２人だと席も狭いです えー？ランチで１時間んん〜？もっとゆっくり食べたいなー、と思ったけど安いので文句は言うまい（言ってる） さ、急いで取って来なきゃ！と料理を見に行くと野菜中心の料理がいっぱい！ とにかく種類が多く、全種類食べたいので１種類ちょっとづつ、ちょっと苦手な野菜も食べてみたけど何を食べても美味しかったです♪ わー、こんな調理法が！家でもやってみよーとか思ったり ４ターン行きましたが全種類制覇ならず！無念！ １時間でもなかなか食べられました スイカがとにかく甘くて美味しかったです 我が家からかなり遠いのでしょっちゅえは行けないですが、またドライブがてら行きたいです

(Translated by Google) It's so popular that when I called to make a reservation a week in advance, I was told they were already full. I heard that online reservations through E-Park would open the same day from 9:00, so I prepared for the day. However, E-Park still wasn't working after 9:00, so I called. Apparently there was a system glitch, and they called me back and took another number. So, I was seated in order. However, the queue wasn't particularly smooth, and it took about 10 minutes to get a seat. The menu features a wide variety of vegetable-based side dishes, all of which looked delicious, making it hard to choose. Since so many customers enter the restaurant at the same time, it took a long time to get the side dishes. I think it would be smoother if they had a designated entrance for the side dishes. It took about 30 minutes for the side dish, rice dish, and drink corners to be fully lined up. Since the restaurant's name is Chikori Village, I decided to try some chikori. It was fresh, somewhere between Chinese cabbage and lettuce, and very delicious with no strong flavor. The other side dishes were also quite simple in flavor, which was nice. I ended up feeling more full than I expected, and unfortunately only managed to eat about 70% of what I had planned to eat... I wish there had been fewer people, which is a bit selfish of me. The service over the phone was great, so I'm giving it a higher star! (Original) 大人気で1週間前に予約をしようと電話をしたところ、既に予約枠がいっぱいとの事…ネット予約のEパークだと同日の9時から予約できると聞き、当日に備えました。しかし9時過ぎてもEパークが使えずお電話してみたところ、システム不具合らしく折り返しのお電話を頂きさらに番号を取っていただけました。なので順番に案内してもらえました。 ただ順番案内があまりスムーズとはいえず、席に着くまでに10分ほどかかりました。 メニューは野菜中心のおかずがたくさん、どれも美味しそうで目移りしまくります。一斉にたくさんのお客さんが入店するため、おかずを取るのにとても時間がかかります。おかずに並ぶ入口を決めた方がスムーズなのではと思いました。おかずのコーナー、ご飯もののコーナー、ドリンクコーナー一通り並べるまでに30分くらいかかりました。 ちこり村という名前なのでちこりをいただきます。フレッシュで白菜とレタスの間みたいな、くせもなくてとてもおいしい。他のかおかずも割と素朴なお味でよかったです。 思った以上にお腹にたまって、食べようと思ってた7割くらいしか食べられず無念…… もうちょっと人が少なめならもっといいな、とワガママな感想です。 お電話での対応がとてもよかったので星高めです！

(Translated by Google) I had the breakfast! Rice! Fresh vegetables! Drink! ¥600 It was delicious! I added salmon for an additional ¥150, but it felt so cheap! I felt like it would have been a better deal without the salmon! (Original) モーニングを頂きました! ご飯! 野菜新鮮！ ドリンク！ ￥６００ 美味しく頂きました! ＋￥１５０　追加で 鮭を頂きましたが　安ぽい！ 鮭無しの方が　お得感ある様な気がしました!

(Translated by Google) All the dishes are delicious. They are homemade? They also have some unique dishes. The standard time limit is 60 minutes, but it's not strict. The staff will explain the time limit during the initial introduction. The staff will guide you to your seat. Payment can be made in cash or with PayPay. (Original) どの料理もおいしいです。手作り？で珍しい料理もあります。 基本、60分制ですが、厳密ではありません。最初の案内にスタッフから時間の説明はありました。 席はスタッフに案内されます。 支払いは現金かPayPayです。

Nice local handmade soba . We tried the vegetable soba , the chicken soba and the cold soba with yam . The Gohei mochi rice cake was different with the rice texture still evident but the seasoning was spot on . It’s one of the better ones I have eaten .

I visited this restaurant in the mid summer 2023. Atmosphere inside is calm and air conditioned. I ordered lunch menu which is cold Soba and Gohei mochi. Noddle stiffness is good and taste of soba soup is deep. Gohei mochi smells increase appetite, miso taste is elevated with sesame. Staff were kind and polite, it was really good break under strong sunshine.

🍜 We stopped here for a lovely homemade meal. Everything was delicious and the staff was sooo nice!!

Finally got to try the gohei mochi and it is totally IT. This place sells good soba too. Personally I do not like soba, but the soba here has the bite I like.. as if you are eating AL dente pasta.. In the midst of the beautiful buildings... heaven

Authentic and friendly and not touristy. I tried both the hot chicken soba and the cold one in Japanese yam. Both are excellent. Personally I prefer soba served in cold.

Rustic resturant with great food. Not pictured but the Soba and gohei mochi lunch set was the pick of the bunch. Friendly service with English menus.

This is genuinely one of the best meals we had in a month in Japan - not fussy, not expensive, just completely delicious with lovely service

Food was decent, very tradionally Japanese. Atomsphere also fit the vibe, good for English (has English menus) and access from the train/bus station.

I had the tempura soba, it was delicious. Friendly service as well and right near the station.

Found this little gem when most other lunch venues had already closed, 5/5 for service, presentation and flavour! The tonkatsu set is amazing.

Nice place near train station. Tonkatsu was really tasty. Thank you!

Food was really good and price was very cheap, took the tonkatsudon.

Japanese old style "donburi & soba" restaurant. Very normal.

Nostalgic Place with High Quality Food!

I went with my 10yo and 8yo kids, and they were so excited to get so many beautiful gems! Staff people were all so kind as well. There are some covered lunch spaces outside, so you can bring in lunch to enjoy. We fully enjoyed the activities and the experiences!

Very cool trouist attraction, the kids can find nice stones in the water stone search. Cool maze under the Egyptian pyramid. Lots of other cool activities over in the big shed Highly recommended, return discounts available too.

It looks like this site used to be, or perhaps still is a type of quarry, but cleverly re-purposed into a fun and interactive museum about stones, mining and geology. Kids and adults alike can try pansifting for gold, silver or gem stones, treasure hunting with metal detectors, and exploring the maze at the bottom of a large stone pyramid.

It’s ok. Nothing special or super interesting to be honest. You’ll get some cool photos of the pyramid and there’s a maze inside that’ll keep kids busy for 15 mins. There’s also some fossilised dinosaur poo. You can pick out various kinds of gems/rocks/stones/minerals from sand and keep them. There is also a gallery there but not much on display we we went. And some old fashioned toilet seats.

Great place for kids. My 2 year old was scared of the underground maze but my 7 year old loved it. Loved sifting through small stones in their rock pools looking for "diamonds" too!

Google maps said it was open, but it was closed.

ok

Exposition and architecture are very nice. Even if it is a small museum, it is a must do experience in Ena. The people working here are so kind, and they will guide you through the experience of making your own print.

Fantastic little museum where you can try printing ukiyo-e! There are two exhibition rooms, a video area (in English) and an area where you can try your hand at printing. The gift shop has a wide selection. With professional reproduction from the Adachi foundation being a highlight!

Absolutely fantastic little art gallery. I was so grateful that the wood block printing process was explained in English, too. I just wish the explanatory texts for each picture had been translated as well. The educational videos were also very informative. Even though I am a fully grown adult, I still enjoyed the opportunity to make my very own wood block print in the gallery and though it is far from perfect, I will take it home with me and treasure it.

Fantastic museum! Very interactive, you get to expirament and make your own paintings, great guides inside help you through the process, have an English film about the special process of curving and printing, and a lovely gallery of the beautiful paintings (: highly recommended!

A small, excellent museum with many beautiful wood block prints. The best bit is the interactive part where you make your own prints- maybe the best interactive exhibit I’ve been to in a museum!

Great insight into Hiroshige's woodblock prints. Another culture, another world. Must see in Ena. No photos of his prints allowed but you can use your phone to translate 👍

Excellent exhibition on stops along the Kyoto to Edo post route..... Don't forget to have a go at making your own print!

Peaceful shrine in a quite town. Worth a look if you are in the area

Absolutely beautiful x

I could’ve sat here all day and all night. Possibly one of the nicest views I’ve ever seen. Oh my goodness, come and sit here and watch the world go by.

Observation deck in Magome. If you start hiking from Magome towards Tsumago you'll pass by this deck shortly after the start. Make sure to stop by and soak in the beauty of the mountainous terrain. I don't recall seeing binoculars placed there so maybe you can bring one along with you. I had mine in my backpack but forgot to use it 😆.

Nice view at the top of Magome-juku. A bit steep but its worth it. Mt Ena & the town below scenery view!

Lovely observatory to see the city from up top. Great spot for watching sunset as well.

Magome is a small village along the Nakasendo hiking path. It is such a charming, delightful place that you will want to stay longer. Traditional old houses, lodges, and coffee shops. This place was a delight.

Fantastic sight. The town is pretty. We did Nakasendo trail and it was a good fun.

A must visit if you happen to be sightseeing at Magome, the Edo period post town. A beautiful view of the valley and Magome in the corner. Especially on a sunny day it's really quite stunning

I’m not a huge fan of soba. But I really enjoy my cold soba at Keiseian. Noodles is a bit chewy which I’d prefer, vegetables are fresh with grated Japanese yam. It’s so tasty

Delicious Soba! I had the hot soba with fish and it was so delicious. Warm and filling, there is a hot tea dispenser right at the table so you can enjoy this warm pit stop before or after your hike

Located at almost the end of the village. A short walk distance from a bus stop (not the main bus stop). A family type of buckwheat soba eating house, simple decoration but comfortable Japanese table. At the entrance, there is a grinding machine. English menu not available. The wild vegetables and mushrooms soba was hot and delicious.

A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of visiting Keiseian and indulging in their delectable cold soba. I must say, the experience was nothing short of fantastic. From the quality of the food to the warm hospitality, this place truly made my day, especially during my visit to the charming town of Magome-juku. The cold soba I ordered was absolutely delightful. The noodles were perfectly cooked, firm yet tender, and had a satisfying texture. Each bite was accompanied by a refreshing burst of flavors that left me craving for more. What made the experience even better was the fact that they offered complimentary tea, and to my delight, they had sobacha, my personal favorite. The combination of the flavorful soba and the comforting sobacha tea made for an unforgettable meal. Aside from the culinary delights, Keiseian played a significant role in enhancing my overall experience of visiting Magome-juku. This beautiful town is known for its historical charm, and the restaurant perfectly complemented the ambiance with its traditional yet welcoming atmosphere. The attentive staff and their warm service added an extra layer of enjoyment to my visit. As a pleasant surprise, once I finished my soba, I was served soba-yu, a traditional Japanese drink made from the water used to boil the soba noodles. It was a unique experience for me, and I truly appreciated the opportunity to try something new and immerse myself in the local customs. I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to Keiseian for the fantastic food and the memorable experience they provided. If I have the chance to visit this beautiful town again in the future, I will undoubtedly make it a point to return to this remarkable establishment. I highly recommend Keiseian to anyone seeking a delightful culinary adventure and an authentic taste of Magome-juku.

Great authentic soba place ran by grandpa and grandma. I salute their hardwork. They dont have english menu tho. We tried 1. Plain soba w/ dipping sauce 2. Soba in mackarel soup 3. Soba with veggie soup 4. Soba in slimy grated yum And all is taste good

Second lunch. Second fuel up before we continue the journey. Would stop here again for the soba.

The vegetable soba was rich with different kinds of mushrooms. The noodles are made from buckwheat. Some thought they were much better than any other noodles tasted in Japan, personally I found them unique but but not as tasteful. The restaurant was very comfortable with heavy wooden tables and the owners were very nice.

Friendly staffs with good advice for delicious dishes of signature cuisine. Parking is available for free of charge. We were there around 2 pm, no need to make reservation.

Very attentive staff , very good English . English menu provided. Everything is tip top ! Service , food etc .

Nice food and friendly waiter.

Excellent Japanese restaurant. It's a little expensive but the taste is really great.

It’s a lovely clean place lots of variety with food and drinks. Very helpful staff.

Not much Gluten free options but everything else was great !

(Translated by Google) On the way to my accommodation, I found a vertical sign for the restaurant Sagami at an intersection and went in at 7pm. It is located on the corner of the intersection and has a parking lot that can accommodate 35 cars. The restaurant is very spacious and has two types of private rooms, partitioned table seats, and tatami seating. There are about 150 items on the menu at any given time, so it's hard to decide what to order. I ordered a set of warm gomoku kishimen noodles, three pieces of sushi, and tsuke kishimen noodles and seven pieces of sushi. Even though it's a chain restaurant, the staff brought it to me instead of a serving robot. It even came with chawanmushi, so it was a great deal. It's been a while since I've had kishimen noodles, and they were very delicious, and the sushi was filling with large sushi toppings. Gifu Prefecture is a landlocked prefecture, but the fish was delicious. (Original) 宿泊先へ向う途中の交差点で御食事処　サガミの縦看板を見つけ19時にお店に入りました。交差点の角にあり駐車場は35台停められます。店内はとても広く個室が2種類ありテーブル席は仕切りがあり､座敷席もありました。メニューの数は常時約150アイテムあり何を頼んでよいやらとても迷います。温かい五目きしめん　お寿司3個　つけきしめんとお寿司7個のセットを注文。チェーン店なのに配膳ロボットでは無くスタッフさんが運んでくれました。茶碗蒸しまで付いて折り、お得感一杯です。久しぶりの　きしめんはとても美味しく、お寿司は寿司ネタの大きい事、食べ応えありました。岐阜県と言えば海無し県ですがお魚が美味しかったです。

A beautiful gorge tucked away in nature. The park takes about 45mins to 1hour to walk through. Take your time and don't rush. The views are great. Just be careful of your phones on the suspended bridges. Visited in March 2025. Water view looks great and clear.

One of the most beautiful waterfalls I've seen in Japan. The waters are crystal clear and at points, you can see the clear falls cascade down. Truly amazing. We went in on April 16, 2024. It was a cloudy day and I was scared the waters wouldnt be as blue but they were still blue and beautiful. The walkways and facilities are well maintained. Bathrooms are clean. The road to get here is a one lane road, drive slowly and carefully as there are no guardrails and you're sharing the road with oncoming traffic. This place is not busy at all, there were 2 other parties while we were here but we got to experience all the waterfalls by ourselves. There is a restaurant at the entrance which is good and worth visiting, even just taking a look. The collections of things throughout the years is fun to look at. Entry and parking are free.

The falls are nice. However you can only get close access to Kannon Falls. Sentaru Falls path access was closed. I'm not sure if the entry is permanently closed or temporarily closed. After reading another review it looks like the path has been closed for a couple of years. It would be nice if the path was fixed. I couldn't find information on the entry. It is worth a visit, but just one larger fall has good access.

Great, easy hike. We went on the weekend and it was very crowded so I would recommend the weekday, if possible. Beautiful views!

There's two different sections to the waterfalls. Main area you walk down stairs to see the Tsukechi falls but you can also walk up away from carpark and there are streams that lead to a waterfall dam structure. 1 hour gives you time to see both. Carpark is free. The fruit ice cream is sensational. It's worth doing this fall in conjunction Ryujin Falls on the same day.

Nice place. Many waterfalls and streams, fresh air and easy to find parking

Great waterfall, little bit hard to walk but good for exercise

Old Japanese theatre

The place is open between 10:00-16:00.

Good

(Translated by Google) I visited around noon today. Nakatsugawa Kashimo in Gifu Prefecture has long been famous for its cypress, which is used in many famous buildings. I had a very meaningful time with a local storyteller who gave me a fun explanation and guided me around the stage and backstage. I was able to reflect on the thoughts of our predecessors, when and who created this Kabuki stage. I would like to visit again with my wife next time. thank you very much. (Original) 本日昼頃訪問しました。岐阜県中津川加子母は昔から檜が有名で、多くの有名な建築に用いられています。私一人に対して地元の語り部なる方が楽しい説明を頂けて、舞台も楽屋裏も奈落まで案内頂き大変有意義な時間を過ごせました。いつ誰がどんな想いでこの歌舞伎舞台を造ったか、先人達の想いに馳せる事が出来ました。次は妻と再訪したいと思います。ありがとうございました。

(Translated by Google) This place is so wonderful. The explanations were easy to understand, and we were able to see onto the stage and into the dressing rooms, so even without any knowledge of Kabuki it was enjoyable. If you're passing by and have the time, be sure to check it out. (Original) ここ、素敵すぎです。 解説がわかりやすく、舞台の上や楽屋まで見させていただけて歌舞伎の知識が無くても楽しめました。 近くを通って時間があるなら是非。

(Translated by Google) I stayed at Kashimo as a student and stayed here for a training camp. This was my first visit to Meijiza. Admission was free, but a guide showed me around the building. (Original) 学生時代に合宿させて頂いた加子母。明治座には今回初めて訪れました。入館料無料でしたが、ガイドさんに館内を案内して頂けました。

(Translated by Google) This wooden playhouse, built 120 years ago, is a designated Important Tangible Cultural Property that has been passed down through the passion of local volunteers. The playhouse caretakers gave us a comprehensive explanation and showed us around the runway, stage, backstage, dressing rooms, and the passage from the pit down to the soft-shelled turtle. Even now, famous Kabuki actors perform here every year. Apparently, tickets often sell out quickly. At the entrance, they are collecting donations to raise money for the Hidefuko playhouse by writing your name on a "piece of board used to wipe the roof" for restoration (500 yen) or a hand towel (1,000 yen)! I couldn't help but feel like donating. (Original) 120年も前に建築された木造の芝居小屋が、今も地元の有志たちの熱意で脈々と受け継がれている「重要有形文化財」の一つだがね。小屋守の皆さんに全容の説明を受け、花道、舞台、舞台裏、楽屋、奈落下からスッポンへの通路まで案内していただけたがね。現在も有名歌舞伎俳優がこちらで毎年上演されるとのこと。チッケッとも早くに売り切れとなってしまうことが多いとか？入り口では小屋秀布子の為の資金集めにと「屋根に拭く板切れ」に名前を入れ修復金（500円）、手ぬぐい付き（1,000円）を募集中！！思わず寄付したくなる気持ちになっただがね。

It is an amazing place for students and visitors who want to know about mines. I love it.

Fun place to go on a day trip. Liked how you could dig for stones outside.

Lovely place to take the kids, be sure to do the 30 min fossicking

worth the entrance fee. a great experience for crystal lovers.

(Translated by Google) It's in the countryside...it's quite a journey from nearby Nakatsugawa City. But it's worth the trip! You'll generally need to travel by car. The exhibits are easy to navigate and well worth seeing. You can learn about everything from individual minerals to their industrial uses. You'll probably have a chance to talk to the curators when they're there. However, some knowledge is recommended for a more enjoyable experience. If you're simply looking to see beautiful stones and gems, it may be a disappointment. We did the crystal hunting attraction in the scorching August sun...but we only lasted 30 minutes. The volunteers were very considerate...I think they were worried about heatstroke. While it depends on the season and weather, it's a fun experience. Beautiful crystals can be found in the gravel brought from the local quarry. This time, we found small pieces that appeared to be quartz and beryl. Unfortunately...the ones you find are extremely small. And you're only allowed to take one home per person. The souvenir section is tiny, about the size of a cart. After all, it's a museum...an academic institution. Bringing drinks and a packed lunch is recommended. (Original) 田舎にあります…近くの中津川市内からも結構かかります しかし、行く価値あり！ 基本、車での移動になります 展示は見やすく見応えもあります 個々の鉱物から産業利用まで総合的に学ぶことができます 学芸員の方がおいでになるときはお話を伺うチャンスもあると思います ただ、ある程度の知識があった方が楽しく見ることができます 単にキレイな石、宝石を見たい方には期待はずれになるかも知れませんん アトラクションの水晶探しは8月の炎天下にやりましたが…30分が限度でした ボランティアの方が何かと気にかけてくれました…熱中症を心配されたのだと思います 季節と天候を選びますが楽しく遊べます 地元の採石場から運んだ砂礫の中からはキレイな結晶が取れる可能性があります 今回は水晶と緑柱石と思われる小片を見つけることができました 残念ながら…見つかるのは極めて小さいです それと持ち帰りは一人一個です お土産売り場はワゴンひとつ程度の小さなコーナーです あくまで博物館…アカデミックな施設ですね 飲み物やお弁当は持参された方が安心です

(Translated by Google) It's a great facility for anyone interested in minerals, and even if you're not that interested, it's a wonderful museum where you can learn about the ores, geography, and history of Ena and Nakatsugawa through minerals. While the museum has many hard exhibits, it also hosts events where you can search for crystals outdoors, which even small children can enjoy. The souvenir shop is minimal, and there are no restaurants or dining areas. Parking (free) is located right next to the museum. There is an adjacent park where you can stroll around. (Original) 鉱物に興味がある方にとってとても良い施設だしそれ程興味なくても恵那や中津川の鉱石や地理に歴史等、鉱物を通して学べる素晴らしい博物館です。館内は堅めの展示物が多いのですが屋外で水晶を探せるイベントを開催しているのでこちらは小さなお子様でも楽しめると思います。お土産屋さんはミニマムで飲食店や飲食スペースはありません。駐車場（無料）は博物館のすぐ近く。散策できる公園が隣接しています。

(Translated by Google) I was curious about crystal hunting, so I went with my 4-year-old. After paying the admission fee, you can go crystal hunting, and although they are very small, you can still find natural crystals. Admission is free for junior high school students and younger, and it's 330 yen for adults. My child loved the crystal hunt and the exhibits inside the museum so much that he wanted to go back, so we purchased an annual pass. It was 1,650 yen for five visits. We went about once every three days during the summer vacation, and it was well worth it, lol. The photo shows the crystals we found with my child. You can also find smoky quartz. Each person is allowed to take home one, so my child always takes home the one he likes best. The staff are very kind, and my child was excited, saying, "I'm going to show the crystals I found to the stone teacher and get praised!" (Original) 水晶探しが気になり4歳の子供と行きました。 入場料を払えば水晶探しができ、とったも小さいですが、天然の水晶を見つけることができます。中学生以下は入場料無料で、大人は330円です。子供が水晶探しと、博物館内の展示をとても気に入ってまた行きたいと行ったため年間パスポートを購入しました。1,650円で5回分の金額です。夏休み中は3日に1回ぐらいのペースで通い元は取れました笑 写真は子供と一緒に見つけた水晶です。煙水晶も見つかります。1人一個持ち帰れますので、毎回子供が一番気に入ったものを持ち帰ってます。 スタッフの方々が大変優しく、子供は「見つけた水晶ら石の先生に見せて褒めてもらうんだー」と張り切ってます。

Well laid out area to enjoy the waterfall and the surroundings. There are two short walking paths (5-10 minutes). I visited here on November 25 which is late autumn and saw little autumn foliage. Parking lots available including for motorcycles.

Drove to Ryujin Falls from Takayama for 2 hours. Beautiful falls with the wooden path. However, parking is a bit steep at Y1000 with Y400 donation per person to visit the fall. In addition to the cost for car rental, fuel and highway toll. Not worth it to visit with the costs added up. I would visit again if there is a bus tour from Nagoya or Gero Onsen.

My favorite waterfall. It's easy to get to by bus, you don't have to hike up the mountain. It's got an iconic red bridge and a small shrine. You can swim, camp or fish along the river. There are bathrooms. If you do want to hike, you can contiune - but it is a paved road, not a trail, and this right near the entrance is the prettiest.

Beautiful place, if you have the time to do the hike( a bit hard if you are not in good shape or have some injuries) it worth it, doesn’t take much time to the 5th waterfall, it took me around 1.5hrs going slowly. Just need to take care as the bridges are not in good conditions.

Beautiful place!!! It has huge camping area, which needs a little more care but, the ride itself is great, and even though it was a hot day, there were very few people! The water was super refreshing!

I visited on 11th Nov, peak season for autumn leaves, the view and waterfall r so beautiful, definitely worth visiting, especially during autumn season

Breathtaking waterfall with beautiful unique color of the water. Definitely wanna go there one more time

Large wooden suspension bridge with a nice nostalgic feel. Near the bridge is a sculpture of the grieving woman sitting on the rock with her chin in her hands set up in 1960 to commemorate the victims of a debris flow that occurred on July 20 1953. The monument clearly depicted the tragedy of the incident.

Saw from the side of the road while driving through the town lovely place to stop a beautiful old wooden suspension bridge

Very nice, picturesque bridge! You can get some good photos of the bridge as well as nice views on the bridge. There's also a small, quiet park under it with some picnic benches and tables. You can even play mini golf there if you bring your own equipment.

This bridge is awesome!! Fantastic to walk across, and you can get right down to the river on either side. I enjoyed sitting under the bridge and dipping my toes in the river on a hot day.

One of the biggest wooden suspension bridges in Japan. Constructed by Mr. Momosuke Fukuzawa, nicknamed 'The King of Electrical Power' for being the first Japanese to introduce hydroelectric power to the country.

Interesting bridge. Makes a nice side trip for something extra to do while in town. There is a little park across this bridge with a overview of the town.

Beautiful & quiet pedestrian bridge in a scenic mountain area

Stunning view Grilled fish set is 3,000 yen, so valuable. Food is so fresh.

Best views for lunch next to running waterfall. Food was excellent so was dining outdoors in 15 deg weather in spring.

Worth a visit as the steps bridge is pretty unique as you descend towards the restaurant from the parking lot. Did not manage to have lunch here as the queue was really long on a weekend. Beautiful riverside view nonetheless!

This place is a must visit, just the sound of river is so relaxing. So nice to eat with this kind of view. 😍

Such a unforgettable experience for having lunch here ☺ With a beautiful clean river view and nice Japanese style lunch set 😍

Food was fresh and nice. Great view accompanying your lunch with.

i love this place

(Translated by Google) You can enjoy seasonal course meals. Lunch is 5,500 yen and is full of seasonal ingredients, so you will be more satisfied than you paid for. You can spend a relaxing time in a room by the river. (Original) 季節のコース料理を頂けます。ランチ5500円で旬の食材満載で価格以上の満足感。川沿いのお部屋でゆったりした時間が過ごせます。

(Translated by Google) I went there for the first time because I wanted to eat sweetfish sashimi. I ordered the sweetfish course for 6,850 yen. There will be 7 sweetfish per person. All cooking methods are different. Even though I thought I couldn't eat this much, the rice porridge at the end was extremely delicious. The long-awaited sweetfish sashimi has no odor, is elastic, and has beautiful flesh. The atmosphere in the mountains is also very nice. (Original) 鮎の刺身が食べたくて初めて行きました。 鮎特コース6850円を頼みました。 1人あたり７匹の鮎が出ます。調理方法は全てバラバラ。 こんなに食べれないなーと思いながらも最後の雑炊はめちゃくちゃ美味しい。 念願の鮎の刺身は臭みも全くなく弾力もあって身も美しい。 山の中の雰囲気もとても良い。

(Translated by Google) I visited from Tokyo. I've been here several times, but it's still the same The view of the Tsukechi River from the room is amazing. Anyway, the food is delicious. From the appetizers to the desserts, there is a lot of attention to detail, and the dishes are only available here. I also look forward to seeing the menu change depending on the season. The salt-grilled sweetfish was so delicious that I could eat it without leaving the head on. Among them, the lotus root and scallop bowl had a gentle flavor and were very delicious, and the tea bean croquette and Hida beef were melt-in-your-mouth delicious. The okra surinagashi somen was also great. I heard that there are many repeat customers, which makes sense. Recommended for special occasions, anniversaries, and luxurious meals while traveling. I would like to come again. (Original) 東京から伺いました。 何度か来ておりますが相変わらず お部屋から見える付知川の景色は素晴らしく とにかくお食事が美味しいです。 前菜からデザートまで細かい工夫があり、ここでしか頂けないお料理ばかりです。 季節に応じてメニューに変化があるのも楽しみになっています。 鮎の塩焼きは頭まで残さず食べる事ができるほど美味しかったです。 中でも蓮根のしんじょうと貝柱のお椀は優しいお味で大変美味しく、茶豆のコロッケと飛騨牛はとろけるようで絶品でした。 オクラのすり流し素麺も最高でした。 リピーターが多いと伺いましたが納得です。 特別な日や記念日、旅行中の贅沢ご飯におすすめです。また来たいと思います。

(Translated by Google) I have been coming here for half a century (since the previous generation) to enjoy sweetfish dishes. Reservations are required to enjoy freshly baked and fried food❗ Both the fried and salt-grilled dishes are delicious and you can bite them all over the head 🎵 Ayu takes a lot of time to prepare, so I think it's a good idea to let us know how much you'd like to order in advance when making a reservation...I think you'll be able to enjoy your meal more smoothly. The crunchy texture and flavor of the sashimi are unique to sweetfish...and the appearance is as expected from a kaiseki restaurant. If you would like to eat while looking at the river, please let us know when making your reservation. If you have small children, you may be able to ask for a small room, depending on the number of children. Once the sweetfish season is over, it's time for kaiseki cuisine. The autumn leaves 🍁 around the store are stunning. This time, smoked sweetfish was used in the rice porridge. It has a nice flavor combined with the scent of river seaweed. When you bite into the sweetfish, the flavor that oozes out from the meat is unique to smoked fish. It's also nice to be able to enjoy rice porridge without worrying about bones. (Original) 鮎料理を楽しむために半世紀(先代から)通っています。 焼きたて、揚げたてを楽しむために予約は必須❗ フライも塩焼きも頭からかぶりついて美味しいですよ🎵 鮎は下ごしらえの手間が半端ないので、注文量は予約時に予め伝えておくと良いと思います…スムーズに食事ができると思います。 刺身のコリコリ感や旨味は鮎ならでわです…見た目の美しさもさすが懐石料理のお店です。 川を見ながら食事をしたいときは予約時に伝えましょう。 小さな子供がいるときは、人数次第ですが小部屋の相談にも乗って貰えると思います。 鮎が終わると懐石料理の季節です。 店の周りの紅葉🍁が見事です。 今回、雑炊には鮎の燻製が使われていました。 川海苔の薫りと相まって良い風味です。 噛み締めると鮎の身から染み出る旨味は燻製ならでわです。 骨を気にしないで雑炊を楽しめるのも良いですね。

(Translated by Google) Today, I went to Nakatsugawa with my seniors from the countryside to have a kaiseki lunch full of sweetfish. When I think of sweetfish, the only thing that comes to mind is salt-grilled, but I was surprised that this was the first time I had eaten it in my life. It was very meaningful to be able to eat while listening to the detailed explanations of someone who loves cooking at the same table. The sashimi was thicker than I expected, fresh, and had a firm texture. The rice porridge with three pieces of grated smoked sweetfish was so delicious that it filled my already full stomach. Roast duck appetizer also 💮. There were also many famous brands of cold sake, and it was delicious. The guest rooms faced the rapids of the Tsukechi River, and when you opened the windows you could enjoy the exciting sounds. 220917 (Original) 今日は田舎の先輩方々と、中津川まで鮎づくしのお昼会席をいただきに行きました。鮎といえば塩焼きくらいしか思い浮かばなかったのですが、生まれて初めての食べ方ばかりに驚きました。同じテーブルに料理好きが居て、詳しく解説聴きながら食事出来とても有意義でした。刺身も思った以上に肉厚がありかつ新鮮でしっかりした歯ごたえでした。鮎の３枚おろし燻製が入った雑炊が、満腹であるはずのお腹にスｩ〜と入っていくほど美味しかったです。前菜の鴨のローストも💮。また冷酒も有名銘柄が沢山あり美味しくいただき過ぎました。客室は付知川の急流に面し、窓を開けると豪快な音も楽しめました。220917

(Translated by Google) This time, my family and I used Sarutobiso, which we have been eating at for memorial services and other occasions. No matter when you eat kaiseki cuisine in spring, summer, autumn or winter, it looks and tastes impressive, but this time we had a course meal of sweetfish, a taste of summer, in the evening. The appetizers looked as beautiful and delicious as expected. All of the dishes were excellent in terms of heat, taste, and presentation, and the work was done with great care, and I thoroughly enjoyed the ayu. In particular, the ayu sashimi served with Tosa soy sauce and vinegared miso had a crunchy texture, and the more you chewed it, the more the umami came out. We had a blissful time enjoying delicious sweetfish dishes while looking out at the Tsukechi River at sunset. (Original) 以前から法事などで食事させて頂いているさるとび荘さんを今回は家族で利用させて頂きました。 春夏秋冬いつの懐石料理を頂いても、見た目も味も感動的なのですが、今回は夏の味覚、鮎のコース料理を夕方から頂きました。 前菜から期待通りの見た目の美しさと美味しさでした。どの料理も火加減・味加減・盛り加減ともに素晴らしく、丁寧な仕事がなされていて、鮎を堪能させて頂きました。 特に土佐醤油と酢味噌で頂く鮎の刺身はコリコリとした食感、噛み締めるほど旨味が出てくる感動的な美味しさでした。 夕暮れ時の付知川を眺めながら、美味しい鮎料理を堪能し、至福の時間を過ごさせていただきました。

(Translated by Google) A friend came from Nagoya, so we went to Sarutobiso for lunch.Since it was a Saturday, we didn't have lunch on weekdays, so we ordered a 5,500 yen kaiseki meal. I enjoyed the delicious food and was captivated by the view of the river outside. (Original) 名古屋から友人が来たので、「さるとび荘」さんへランチに、土曜日だったので、平日のランチはなく、５,５００円の懐石料理をお願いしました。美味しい料理に舌鼓し、外の川の景色にも魅力されました。

(Translated by Google) I was going to be nearby and was googling restaurants in the area when I found [Shibakase Shokudo]. I was super curious, so I used my navigation system to find it. Arrived... What?! To be honest, if I hadn't known, I wouldn't even know it was open, as it has such a retro look. I was a little nervous when I entered. In the kitchen, an older man was cooking silently and efficiently, with an older woman supporting him. Another energetic and cheerful older woman was running the dining area by herself. I was aiming for the (Motsuni) but unfortunately it was sold out, so I had the (Dote Donburi). The softly stewed dote rice was a perfect match. My partner ordered the pork soup set meal plus a single order of fried chicken. The pork soup was packed with ingredients, and the amount of ingredients just kept coming out (lol), and I was surprised at the mountain of fried chicken. Even though it was almost the end of lunch hours, customers kept coming in, and by 2pm when it closed, the restaurant was full. I was energized by the sight of the older man and woman managing such a large number of customers. (Original) 【芝ヵ瀬食堂】近くに行くので周辺の飲食店をググっていたら発見。超きになってナビで行きました。到着…えっ！正直、知らなければやってるかどうかもわからない程のレトロな佇まい、ドキドキしながら入店。 厨房ではおじちゃんが黙々とテキパキと調理をしおばちゃんがサポートしてます。ホールは元気いっぱいの明るいもう一人のおばちゃんが１人でこなす。私は（もつ煮）狙いでしたが残念売り切れでしたので（どて丼）をいただきました。 とろんとろんに煮込んだどてのご飯に良く合ってます。相方は豚汁定食にプラス唐揚げ単品。豚汁の具はゴロンゴロン入ってって、食べても食べても具が出てくる勢い（笑）、唐揚げも山盛りボリュームに驚きました。 昼営業終了ぎりぎりなのにどんどんお客さんが入って、終了14時の時点で満車状態。この客量をおっちゃんとおばちゃんが切り盛りしている姿に元気ももらった

(Translated by Google) [Date and Time of Visit] I went in before 11:00 on a Saturday. When I passed by around 10:00, there was no one there, but when I returned around 10:30, there was a small line. They opened early, around 10:50. Maybe that's because there was a long line. [Parking] There's plenty of parking in the gravel area in front of the restaurant. It might be difficult to find a spot if there's a line. [How to Order] Order verbally. The staff seem to ask in the order you enter, so look at the menu and wait. [Items] I ordered fried shrimp and a dote-don. There are so many fried foods on the menu, it's hard to decide. I'll have to visit a few times to try them all. The dote-don is a staple at this restaurant, and many people order it. The deep miso flavor makes you want to eat it all in one go. You can't go wrong ordering it. The portion of fried shrimp is also generous, so it's very satisfying. [Other Information] By the time I left, the parking lot was full, and it was a popular restaurant with long lines. (Original) 【来店日時】 土曜11時前に入店。10時くらいに前を通ったときは誰もいなかったけど、10時30分くらいに戻ると少し列が出来ていました。10時50分くらいに早めにオープンされました。割と並んでたからかな。 【駐車場】 店前の砂利の所にたくさん停めれます。人が並んでいると停めにくいかも。 【注文方法】 口頭注文。店員の方が入店順に聞いていってるようなのでメニューを見て待ちましょう。 【商品】 エビフライ、どて丼を注文。揚げ物なりメニュー多くて迷います。何度か訪問して制覇するしかない。 どて丼はこの店の王道か、結構頼んでいる人が多い。かきこんで勢いよく食べたくなる味噌の深い味わい。たのんで間違いない。エビフライも量が多いので満足できます。 【その他】 帰る頃には駐車場は満車、行列の人気店でした。

(Translated by Google) I love dotemeshi. Actually, I had dotemeshi for breakfast at a roadside station, but it wasn't what I was expecting, so I was a bit disappointed. For lunch, I decided to go here. It was tender tendon meat simmered in miso. This is it! The price was a bargain at just 600 yen. I'd heard it was busy, but it was packed, and I was shown to a seat shortly after. Their dotemeshi, curry, and motsuni set meals seem to be quick menu items, so they're ready in no time. It's damn delicious. (Original) どて飯が大好きなのです 実は朝飯も道の駅でどてめし食ったのですが、自分の思っているタイプではなかったためにモヤモヤ お昼ご飯はここに突撃です、すじ肉を柔らかく味噌味煮付けた。これ！ お値段も並で600円と格安です 混んでいるとは聞いていましたが、お客さんは満員、ほどなくして空いた席に通されます。土手めしやカレー、モツ煮定食などはクイックメニュー的な立ち位置らしくすぐできます。 クッソ美味い

(Translated by Google) The lady working at the shop is also very friendly. While I was waiting, I asked the regular customers what they liked, and this time I decided to exchange the large dotemeshi miso soup for a regular stewed offal. It was delicious. I'd like to stop by again if I'm passing by. (Original) お店のおばちゃんの愛想もいい。 待ってる時の常連さんに色々何が良いか聞いて、今回は「どてめし大の味噌汁をモツ煮の並に変更」にしました。美味しかったです。 近くを通ったらまた寄りたいです。

(Translated by Google) I'd been curious about this restaurant every time I passed by. I happened to be nearby when they opened on a weekday, so I didn't hesitate to go in. It was a diner brimming with Showa-era charm that exceeded my expectations. 🎵 I really wanted both dotemeshi and chicken cutlet, so I requested that they change the rice in my chicken cutlet set meal to dotemeshi, and they happily accommodated for a small increase in price. The change was a great decision!❗️ The chicken cutlet was tender and juicy. 😋 The dotemeshi looked strong, but the mild flavor was delicious. 😋 Even though I was at work, I was completely satisfied and full. I went in as soon as they opened, but they filled up soon after. Early on a weekday is a good time to visit. I'll definitely be back! 🎵 (Original) 前を通る度に気になってたお店。 平日の開店のタイミングで近くへ行きましたので迷わず入店。 期待を上回る昭和感満載の食堂でした🎵 どてめしとチキンカツ両方がどうしても食べたかったので、チキンカツ定食のご飯をどてめしに変更リクエストしたところ、僅かな料金アップで快く引き受けて下さいました。 変更して大正解❗️ チキンカツは柔らかくジューシー😋 どてめしは見た目は濃いですが、優しい味付けで旨い😋 仕事中なのに腹パン大満足でした。 開店と同時に入店したのですが、まもなく満席。 平日の早い時間が狙い目ですね。 又伺います🎵

(Translated by Google) The food is average. If you're looking for a comfortable interior, want to eat local food, or have children with you, I recommend a roadside station a little further away. The restaurant has the appearance of an old-fashioned set meal restaurant. The quick-cooking menu items come out quickly, which is very helpful for people in a hurry who can't afford any time. Fried foods seem to come out after you've finished eating the quick-cooking menu items, so be careful what you order if you're visiting with a group. The restaurant only has a fan and doesn't appear to have air conditioning. I came on a hot day and got drenched in sweat. The windows are wide open, so bugs are flying around. (Original) 味は普通です。店内に快適さを求める、地元飯が食べたい、子連れ等であれば少し離れたところの道の駅をオススメします。 店は昔の定食屋のような外観です。 早く出来るメニューはすぐ出てきます。急いでいて時間が少しでも惜しい方には大変助かる。 揚げ物系は早く出来るメニューを食べ終えた後に出てくる感じなので、複数人で訪れたときは頼む物に注意。 店内は扇風機のみでエアコンは無さそう。暑い日に来たので汗だくになりました。窓全開なので虫も飛んでます。

(Translated by Google) A nostalgic Showa-era set meal restaurant. This restaurant is located along a road I often take while touring, but it's always full, so I've given up on trying it on a weekday, so I decided to visit for the first time. I ordered the fried shrimp set meal and stewed offal. I started by trying the miso soup, which I found to be just my taste, with a strong dashi flavor. The set meal was also filling and delicious. I arrived just after 11:00 on a weekday, but I was able to get in without having to wait, and it was full shortly after I entered. With food and portions like this, it's no wonder it's so popular. I'd love to come again! (Original) 懐かしい昭和の定食屋 ツーリングで良く通る道沿いにある店で、いつも満車状態で諦めてたので平日ならばと思い初めての訪問 エビフライ定食ともつ煮を注文 先ずは味噌汁の味を確かめたところ、出汁の効いた自分好みの味 定食もボリュームがあり旨かったです。 平日の11時過ぎ到着しましたが、ギリギリ待つことなく入店でき、入店後直ぐに満席になってました。 この味とボリュームなら繁盛するのは納得出来ます。 また、来たいですね👍

Not the most convenient location but large grassy area for soccer baseball field, very nice gym for sporting events.

WILDWOOD

Jogging is the best

(Translated by Google) Large multifunctional park. The park has a superb skate area, a huge stadium, a baseball field, a tennis court, a huge multifunctional center, a lake, a beautiful walking area, a children's playground with slides, etc. I recommend visiting. (Original) Большой многофункциональный парк. На территории парка есть суперская скейт площадка, огромный стадион, площадка для бейсбола, теннисный корт, огромный многофункциональный центр, озеро, красивая прогулочная зона, детская площадка с горками и т.д. Рекомендую к посещению.

(Translated by Google) This is a place that my mother-in-law took me to when my children were small. It's located high up, so there's a good view, and there's play equipment so kids can have fun. (Original) 子供が小さい頃、義母に連れられ訪れた場所です。高い位置にあるので眺めが良いですし、遊具もありお子さんは楽しめます。

(Translated by Google) This is a park that children can enjoy as there is a long slide and other play equipment. There are lines drawn around the perimeter of the park for jogging and walking. The course is a park with ups and downs, so it is more taxing than a flat park. Track and field is also beautiful. (Original) なが～いすべり台があり、他にも遊具があるので子どもたちが楽しめる公園です。 公園の外周はジョギング、ウォーキングが出来るようにラインが引いてあります。アップダウンのあるコース、公園になりますので平地の公園より負荷がかかります。 陸上競技もキレイです。

(Translated by Google) Nakatsugawa Wildwood... I went to an outdoor live festival~~~ (Original) 中津川ワイルドウッド… 野外ライブフェスに行きました〜〜〜

Relatively underwhelming comparing to the Nakasendo patg in other post towns. It would be a good start to see this place first then head here by the end; however, due to my travel schedule, I had to end the trip here started the Hike from Narai... in contrast, this was quite disappointing but there are some fun components other towns don't have which i have posted here.

(Translated by Google) A road that harmonizes the landscapes of the past and the present. The area around the alley, where the landscape known as Masugata still remains, has a strong vestige of the post town of the time, and there are many interesting things to see. It was just the right distance for a walk from Nakatsugawa Station. (Original) 昔の風景と現在の風景の調和がとれた街道。 枡形といわれる風景が残る横町付近は、当時の宿場町の面影が色濃く残り、興味深いものがありました。 中津川駅から散策するのに丁度いい距離でした。

(Translated by Google) Nakasendo is not bad. The roads are well maintained and create a great atmosphere. If you go from the direction of Nagoya, you'll come across a post town that could be a good starting point for sightseeing. It seems that foreigners start their journey by walking from here to Ochiai-juku, Magome-juku, and Tsumago-juku. (Original) 中山道、悪くないです。 街道も整備されていて、雰囲気醸し出しています。 名古屋方面から進むと、観光のスタートになり得る宿場町かなと。 外国人の方は、ここから、落合宿、馬籠宿、妻籠宿と歩いて旅路をするらしいです。

(Translated by Google) An Early Morning Stroll in Nakatsugawa-juku, a Post Town Before Wake I arrived in Nakatsugawa-juku as the sky was just beginning to lighten. The shop curtains were still closed, and the streets were deserted. Yet, it was this silence that seemed to reflect the town's true essence. Counting from the Edo period, this post town was the 45th. It once flourished as the leading commercial district in eastern Mino, lined with honjin (main inns), wakihonjin (secondary inns), and inns, welcoming travelers and feudal lords alike. Walking the streets, vestiges of the past peek through the udatsu-style townhouses, square-shaped roads curving at right angles, and lattice-framed sake breweries. Long-established chestnut confectionery shops line the streets, and in the quiet before opening, one can faintly hear the hum of history. During the late Edo period, figures like Kogoro Katsura and Hirobumi Ito hid here, and records of secret meetings within the Choshu domain remain. Such stories blend seamlessly into the town's atmosphere. The town is approximately 1.1km long. During the Edo period, it was home to 928 people and was a bustling economic center, with a Rokusai market held there and the price of rice determined. Today, in the quiet morning light, the energy of that time quietly lives on. In the early morning, Nakatsugawa-juku, still dormant as a tourist destination, quietly shares its historical memories with travelers. I listened intently to those voices as I walked the deserted streets. (Original) 目覚め前の宿場町――中津川宿、早朝の散策 まだ空が淡く染まり始めた頃、中津川宿を訪れた。店の暖簾はまだ揺れず、通りには人影もない。けれどその静けさこそが、この町の本質を映し出しているようだった。江戸から数えて四十五番目の宿場町。かつては東美濃随一の商業地として栄え、本陣や脇本陣、旅籠が軒を連ね、旅人や大名を迎え入れていたという。 通りを歩けば、往時の面影がそっと顔を覗かせる。うだつのある町家、直角に曲がる枡形の道、格子造りの酒蔵。栗菓子の老舗も並び、開店前の静けさの中に、歴史のざわめきが微かに聞こえてくるようだった。幕末には桂小五郎や伊藤博文が身を潜め、長州藩の密議が交わされた記録も残る。そんな物語が、この町の空気に溶け込んでいる。 町の長さは約1.1km。江戸時代には928人が暮らし、六斎市が開かれて米の相場が決められるなど、経済の中心地としても賑わっていたという。今は、静かな朝の光の中に、そんな往時の活気がそっと息づいている。 早朝の中津川宿は、観光地としての顔をまだ眠らせたまま、旅人にだけそっと歴史の記憶を語りかけてくれる。誰もいない通りを歩きながら、私はその声に耳を澄ませていた。

Good atmosphere with a lot of sake and beef smells that makes you hungry 😋

(Translated by Google) 10/10/2025 Nakatsugawa-juku often appears in history books about the end of the Edo period, with events like the Nakatsugawa Conference, the marriage of Princess Kazunomiya, and the Mito Tengu Party. I wasn't expecting much, but the post town has been significantly restored, allowing me to relive its past to a certain extent. It's a shame that the original inn remains, replaced by a parking lot, but the secondary inn has been relocated next to the historical museum. According to records, there were 29 inns at the end of the Edo period. Only a dozen or so houses remain in their original form. Future restoration efforts may see further progress in response to the demands of the times. (Original) 10/10/2025 中津川会談、和宮降嫁、水戸天狗党など、幕末の歴史書にしばしば登場する中津川宿。 余り期待はしていなかったのだが、それでもかなり宿場町は修復され、それなりに往時を偲ぶことができた。 本陣が跡形もなく駐車場になっているのは痛いが、脇本陣は歴史資料館脇に移築されている。 記録では幕末の旅籠は29軒。当時の姿をとどめている家屋は10数軒か。 これからは時代の要請で町の修復はさらに進むかもしれない。

(Translated by Google) This was the best place of the trip. There were no tourists and I was able to enjoy the old town at my own pace. (Original) 今回の旅行で一番よかった場所です。 古い町並みが、観光客もいなくて、のんびりと楽しめました。

This was so interesting and I’m rating it 5* because of the lovely staff who showed us round and gave us tips for our hike. I loved seeing the history of this building and we were able to purchase a souvenir for our Nakasendo Trail hike. Definitely suggest stopping in as part of your walk!

Almost every tour on the classic Nakasendo walk will tell you to start from Magome to Tsumago but if you like to extend it a little I suggest to start from here. If you come by train, take the local one to Ochiaigawa station and reach this place that marks the old spot of the former "juku". From here take the street that goes south and crosses the main road. After that you can't go wrong, the path is clearly marked. Even if you don't speak japanese, when you're not sure just look for 中山道. Or just ask, anyone will be glad to help you.

Did not expect to find this stop on our Nakasendo hike. We were greeted with so much attention and everything was explained to us through translation. It was really interesting and both men were absolutely charming. Thank you so much !!! Really worth the stop.

Very friendly staff who provided a nice tour revealing many secrets of the house!

Excellently preserved station of the Nakasendō. Staff were so friendly and helpful!

Nice place to visit

(Translated by Google) Admission was free, so I decided to drop by. The palace hall, the waiting room for security personnel above the ceiling, the underground passage under the tatami mats to allow the prince to escape safely, It was a very fond memory. (Original) 入場無料とのことで ふらりと 伺いました。 殿の間、 控え室の天井裏警要員控え室、 殿を無事逃す為の畳の下の地下通路 など ・ ・ ・ とても良い思い出と なりました。

This restaurant is awesome. Firstly, although we are not the local, the waiter was so nice and patient explaining the menu to us. All the meals we ordered were so delicious. I suggest "butter yolk pasta". I could feel the chef paid attention on each step he cooked. I love it. The important thing is that though it calls Italian food, it indeed produced a mixed culture meal, Japan + Italy. That is awesome.

If you need a break from seafood noodles, this place does really good pizza and Italian beer. Nice, attentive staff who speak English. I thought the price for pizzas, 2x beer each and a dessert was pretty good too.

Excellent pizza place. Friendly, good service and great wood-fired pizza oven. My family of 6 (Australians) ate here and really enjoyed it, a welcome change for the kids after a few weeks of only Japanese cuisine. Highly recommended.

Do not go there, we went for dinner at 19hs, when it is supposed to close at 21hs. All the tables occupied, so we ask if we can wait, and the guy who attended us said no way he has to go home. We were the only one couple waiting. Obviously he doesn't care about tourists, just deserved that no tourists go there.

The worst pizza I've ever had. Raw dough and almost inedible. Dont waste your money.

Delicious pizza. I hadn’t eaten anything before I went, so I was still quite hungry after finishing my pizza. A bit expensive.

pasta was excellent! and there was a man who spoke english and he served us very nicely and friendly!

This soba noodle restaurant is very popular. Still it wasn't my taste.

extremely good soba!

(Translated by Google) A thriving store that has been around for a long time. It's been a long time since I've been here, but I got in easily considering it was 12pm on a weekend. But after that, it started to get crowded. Others prefer Zaru Soba or Mori Soba. The tempura soba is warm and satisfying with lots of shrimp. The soup is just right, not too thick. The store staff are also cheerful and attentive. Parking lot is easy to get in and out of and easy to park. (Original) 昔から盛況のお店。久々に入りましたが、週末12時のわりにすんなり入れた。が、その後から混み始めた。 他の方はざるそば、盛りそばの方多し 天ぷらそばは、温かく海老も大きく満足。汁も濃すぎず丁度良い 店員さんも元気でよく気がつく 駐車場も出入りしやすく、停めやすい

(Translated by Google) The parking lot is quite large. The restaurant is clean and has many tables and tatami rooms. The menu was limited, which made it difficult to decide what to order. If they had tempura or rice bowls, I would have been happy. I ordered tanuki and cold soy sauce. The taste was quite average. I probably won't come again. (Original) 駐車場はかなり広いです。 店内は綺麗でテーブルと座敷の数も多めです。 メニューは少なくて逆に悩みました。 天ざるとか丼物などあれば言う事なし。 たぬきとかけ冷を注文。 味はいたって普通でした。 次、来ることはないでしょう。

The soba menu is limited because they specialise in what is best. Soba are freshly made daily. I had soba in broth and tempura shrimp. Very tasty and delicious. Queue formed before restaurant opens its door.

(Translated by Google) After visiting Ryujin Falls, I stopped by for lunch. They only serve soba noodles and a little tempura. No rice dishes either. It's rare to find a restaurant like this where you can't enter if you don't like soba noodles, so I went. I ordered Zaru Soba and shrimp tempura. Soba 1400 yen, tempura 1100 yen. The price makes you look forward to it! It comes with two plates of soba noodles. It's delicious. The broth is also delicious. The tempura is two shrimp, pumpkin, shishito peppers, and eggplant. It's freshly fried and delicious too. If I had to say something, I think it's a little small for men? 🤔 I feel like I can finally fill my stomach after drinking the soba soup. (Original) 竜神の滝へ行ったあと、お昼に寄りました。 あるのはそばのみ少し天ぷら ご飯系も無し なかなかそういうお店は、そば嫌いがいると入れないので行ってみました。 ざるそばと、海老の天ぷらを注文。 そば1400円、天ぷら1100円 金額からも期待させます！ そばは2枚きます。 美味しいですね。つゆも美味しいね。 天ぷらもえび2つ、かぼちゃ、ししとう、なす 揚げたてでこちらも美味しいです。 強いて言えば 男性は少し足りないかな？🤔 そば湯を飲んでやっとお腹満たさせる感じ。

(Translated by Google) I love the soba noodles here. They're delicious. The broth is delicious, and the noodles are rustic and good. However, the line is long, so you have to get there early. But the turnover is fast. It's worth the wait. (Original) ここのお蕎麦大好きです 美味しい ダシが美味しいし、麺も田舎風麺で良い ただ行列が凄いので、早く行かないとかなり並びます でも、回転は速いです 並んで食べる価値あり

(Translated by Google) He was an ordinary general. I was able to use coupons for different dumplings twice. Seating is over 60. There is a parking lot for about 20 cars. Wi-Fi and electrical outlets were nowhere to be found. You can exit the parking lot on the west side (Nagoya side/Ena side) and get to the Nakatsu Subaru traffic light. (Original) 普通の王将でした。異なる餃子のクーポンを二重使用使用出来ました。 席は60席以上。駐車場は20台程度。 Wi-Fiとコンセントは見当りませんでした。 駐車場は西側(名古屋側/恵那側)に抜けて、中津スバルの信号まで出れます。

(Translated by Google) Entered the restaurant around 21:50 on 2025/07/25. I ordered a rich ramen and a miso stir-fried horumon set meal, but the gyoza in the set was slow to come out and they didn't bring the gyoza sauce set, which was disappointing. I was annoyed so I left the restaurant without eating the gyoza. I wonder if the gyoza sauce set doesn't come with the Just Gyoza set? (Original) 2025/07/25 21:50頃入店。 こってりラーメンと味噌ホルモン炒め定食を注文したのですが、セットの餃子が出てくるのが遅いうえに餃子のタレセットを持ってこないという残念なお店でした。 ムカついたので餃子は手を付けずに退店しました。 セットに付いてくるジャスト餃子には餃子のタレセットは付いてこないとかあるんかな？

(Translated by Google) I came to the Nakatsugawa store for the first time in a while. As usual, I ordered 2 servings of garlic-free ginger gyoza. It was provided in no time at all. This time I had pieces of ginger, which I've often missed lately, so I was able to enjoy the real pleasure of delicious ginger gyoza. It would be great if the arrangement of the offerings was a little more neat. (Original) 久しぶりに中津川店へ来ました。 いつも通りにんにくゼロ生姜餃子2人前をオーダー。時間がそれほどかからずに提供していただけました。 最近は入っていないことが多くて残念に思っていた生姜のかけらが今回はあったので美味しく生姜餃子の醍醐味を味わえました。 もう少し提供の並べ方が綺麗であれば最高です。

(Translated by Google) The thing I'm thankful for about Gyoza no Ousho is that most Chinese restaurants have a break from 2pm to 5pm, but they're open all day long, so I stopped by for lunch late at around 3pm. Naturally, there were only a few customers in the large store, and although I was curious about the original menu, I ignored the garlic and ordered gyoza and stable fried rice. Even outside of the Kansai area, the gyoza taste is the same at all restaurants. (Original) 餃子の王将が有難いのは中華店は14〜17時が休憩時間の店舗が多いが、ずっと通しで営業しているので遅い時間の15時位に昼食で寄りました。 広い店内は当然数人のお客さんだけ、オリジナルメニューも気になったがニンニクも気にせず餃子と安定の焼飯を注文。関西圏以外でも餃子の味がどの店でも同等なのは流石。

(Translated by Google) If you're looking for a day to really savor your gyoza, this is the place to be. Among the many Osho restaurants, their cold water is delicious. Maybe it's the water? The food cooked with that water also tasted somehow refined. The cleanliness of the restaurant left a good impression. Thank you for the meal. (Original) 餃子と真剣に向き合いたい日に 行くと幸せになれますよ 数ある王将の中でも お冷が美味しい お水がいいのかな？ そんなお水で調理された料理も どこか洗練された味な気もしました 清潔感のある店舗好印象でした ご馳走さまです

(Translated by Google) postscript I often eat Chinese food, but this time the ingredients other than vegetables were 1 mini scallop, 1 small shrimp, and 1 quail. No meat. Even though it says ``Lots of seafood, meat, and vegetables.'' . When a university student's part-time job creates it, it may be troublesome and a lot of things may be omitted. please note. Everything on the menu was on point. The downside here is the quality of the staff. The aunties like the ones you often see have the worst customer service. Well, there are several aunties, so there's only one of them. Of course the gyoza was delicious, but the rest of the menu wasn't that great. However, I usually feel safe no matter what I eat these days. Gyoza Ohsho is famous for having different flavors and menus depending on the store, but even at this particular store, the flavor and spiciness will vary depending on when you go. Of course it is important to always produce the same quality, but it is also proof that it is handmade. Although it's not pictured, the menu item called Shintama Ramen is super cost-effective and highly recommended. (Original) 追記 中華飯、良く食べますが、今回は具が野菜以外が、ミニ貝柱1、小エビ1、うずら１個。 肉はゼロ。 「海鮮、お肉、野菜をたっぷり」と書いてあるのに。。 大学生のバイトが作る場合、面倒で色々と省く場合があります。ご注意ください。 メニューの全てが及第点になりました。 ここの欠点は、スタッフの質。よくいるお局さんみたいなおばちゃんは接客最悪です。って、おばちゃんは何人かいるので、そのうちの１人だけです。 餃子はもちろん旨いのですが、その他のメニューはもともとあまり美味しいとは言えませんでした。 しかし、最近どれを食べても大抵安心できます。 餃子の王将は店ごとに味やメニューが違うことで有名ですが、この店ひとつ取っても、行くタイミングで味の濃さや辛さが違うんです。 当然いつも同じクオリティを出すことは大切ですが、それだけ手作りであるという証拠でもあります。 写真にはないですが、辛玉ラーメンというメニューが超コスパ良くてオススメです。

(Translated by Google) It's just your average Osho. When I went there a long time ago, they had the Nakatsugawa set, which was really good, but I don't think they have it anymore. When I went in late lunchtime, there were a few empty seats. I went with my little one, There were a ton of empty corner tables for two, But they seated us in the order that they became available, as per the manual, And the corner table next to us was empty too! I thought the service was pretty good, But it all felt like a regular Osho, So if you go there normally, I think the food will be just the same as always. This is just my own personal preference, but if they'd been more considerate, I would have considered going again, but I won't be going again. The process was to pay, return to my seat, hold the baby, and leave, but the guy at the register made sure to let the other staff know that I'd already paid, which was really stress-free and I was so happy! (Original) 普通の王将。 かなり昔に行った時に中津川セットがあってめっちゃよかったけど 多分今はなかった。 昼終わりにはいったら空席がポツポツあった 席ちびっ子供と2人で行ったけど かど2人席めっちゃ何ヶ所も空いてたけど マニュアル通り空いた順に案内されて 隣のかどもあいとるじゃん！ って思った。 接客とかは普通によかったと思うけど 全部普通の王将って感じなので 普通に行けば普通にいつもの味だと思う。 個人的なわがままだけど気ずかいがあったらまた行こうと思ったと思うけどもう行かない。 会計→席に戻って抱っこ→店出る流れだったけどレジのおいちゃんは 他の店員に支払い済みを周知してくれててそこはめっちゃストレスなくて嬉しかった！
