    Nagano Suzaka-shi Suzaka 304
    A seven-minute walk from Suzaka Station. This premiums kaiseki course cuisine restaurant was established in 1882 and has five private dining rooms as well as a banquet hall. Paying particular attention to the ingredients and broth, what sets this establishment apart is its cuisine lovingly crafted one dish at a time with a focus on authentic flavor; and its luxurious private dining rooms where you can enjoy a relaxing, unhurried meal. The content of the restaurant's makanai-style lunch menu is determined the day of, and consists of dishes meticulously and individually prepared while incorporating an appropriate seasonal atmosphere. As the establishment only has the five private dining rooms, be sure to make a reservation by phone in advance.

    Nagano Pref. Suwashi Suwa 1-2-4
    "This Japanese restaurant is located just outside JR Kamisuwa Station in Suwa City, Nagano Prefecture. It features local cuisine including the Suwa specialty ""Miso Ten-don"" (a kind of rice bowl), Shinshu style buckwheat soba noodles, koikoku (sliced carp in miso), and more.

Nagano Areas

around-area-map

Nagano prefecture is an exciting mix of mountains, hot spring monkeys, and preserved Edo history. At the heart of the Japanese Alps, Nagano is one of the country’s most popular destinations, whether in winter for its snow sports and the much-loved Jigokudani Monkey Park or in the warmer months for discovering the undulating hills on foot. For fantastic Edo architecture, head to the Kiso Valley for a 60-kilometer stretch of quaint wooden buildings that marked the Nakasendo route 200 years ago.
