This restaurant is located on a mountain pass, but it is not just any restaurant. It is lined with Japanese houses that look like they could be the scene of ninjas and samurai, decorated with lanterns and carp streamers. The specialties here are skewered chicken and rice balls bigger than an adult's fist. Whether it tastes good or not is secondary, you must order it. If you don't try it, there is no point in coming here. There is no public transportation, so you can only get there by car. Therefore, if you go during lunch or dinner times, it is very crowded and it is difficult to even get into the parking lot. It is not uncommon to wait an hour before ordering, so please come with peace of mind and stomach. It has a very Japanese atmosphere, so you will surely be pleased if you invite foreigners here.
