I stopped by while passing through. The retro, nostalgic vibe brought back so many childhood memories. The entrance fee for the second floor isn't expensive, and you can try out air gun shooting games and play on those almost-extinct pinball tables.

Kawachiya
Kawachiya is a long-established, refined Japanese restaurant with the exterior of a traditional inn, an elegant interior, and a beautiful courtyard. Its specialties include eel, carp, and other freshwater fish dishes. The spacious restaurant seats more than 400 guests and includes a large dining hall and numerous private rooms.
The eel is grilled back and forth and topped with their special sauce—the balance of sweetness and saltiness is just right. Before I knew it, I’d finished the whole thing…

Yamamoto-tei
Yamamoto-tei is an elegant estate where modern Japanese architecture harmonizes with a traditional Japanese garden. The residence is a quintessential example of a modern Japanese home. While its tatami rooms draw on traditional shoin-zukuri and sukiya-influenced shoin-zukuri styles, distinctly modern features can be seen in their bright, glass-enclosed spaces, fittings, and lighting fixtures. The rooms are also arranged to blend seamlessly with the garden.
Order a cold drink and some Japanese sweets, then just sit quietly and enjoy the beautiful view of the garden from the tatami room. It really makes you feel like everything in the world is wonderful.
