Lush greenery and clear babbling springs hug the space around this irori charcoal grill restaurant, just steps from the foot of Mt. Takao. A visit here will reveal about 6,000 tsubo (approximately 19,842 square meter) of sprawling grounds, gassho-style houses relocated from Etchu Gokayama and a Japanese garden that uses Mt. Takao as a backdrop, that together create a truly unforgettably scenic landscape.

The restaurant menu features a colorful array of dishes, all of which use painstakingly selected seasonal ingredients, like the meticulously raised charcoal-grilled chicken. Delight your tastebuds in the rich flavors of chicken, select Japanese beef, raised in the full glory of nature, and fresh-caught river fish from the clearest of streams, all slowly grilled over charcoal. Taste the four seasons of the Satoyama foothills in a treat for the mouth and the soul, all while gazing out at the scenery that waits just outside the window.

As an added perk, the Hunting & Firefly Viewing Evening is one popular summer event held each year from early June to mid-August. Treat yourself to “firefly hunting”, a meal lit by the fantastical glow of fireflies outside, or “firefly viewing”, a chance to stroll the wildflower garden once you’re meal is finished. Prepare to lose yourself in the true luxury of precious moments afforded by lush nature. Reservations are required for this event season, so be sure to check the schedule on the official website.
