    Nagano Kamitakai-gun Obusemachi Obuse 807
    A Japanese restaurant which serves local regional cuisine. The restaurant serves a variety of dishes made with local ingredients, including char and other river fish; Nagano meats; and fresh vegetables, mushrooms, and beans from local farms. Offering colorful lunch combos, char takikomi gohan rice made with a real kama stove, kama stove-cooked white rice, and more, is the reason why this establishment is so popular is because its food enables the diner to enjoy the innate flavors of the ingredients used.

    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.

    Nagano Iiyama-shi Iiyama 1117
    An eel restaurant established in 1904. This popular establishment has served eel grilled over high grade ubame oak charcoal and slathered in a secret recipe sauce since the day it first opened its doors. Made according to an old fashioned method with soy sauce and mirin, the sauce's recipe has been handed down for generations and diners will be able to taste the tradition and dedication. The restaurant's basic menu consists of just unaju eel rice boxes and unadon eel rice bowls.

    Absolute gem of a place. Food was fantastic and satisfied my cravings for top quality eel. Place is around a 15 minute walk from the station so it will allow for some time to explore Iiyama.

    Nagano Iiyama-shi Tomikura 1769
    This soba noodle restaurant, recently remodeled in 2017, has been a favorite of many since it first opened in 1990. Dedicated to preserving and sharing local cuisine, the restaurant serves soba noodles and sasazushi, popular local Tomikura dishes. Tomikura soba noodles make use of thistle fibers to hold them together. The restaurant's sasazushi has a rich flavor that isn't too sweet. Both are simple dishes whose flavor you will not tire of no matter how much you eat.

    飯山に行ったら「笹寿司」は絶対に食べるべき! 特に「かじか亭」がオススメです。 料金は少々高いけど、お蕎麦と笹寿司がとても美味しく、一度食べたら忘れられません。 一時、閉店しましたが、2017年4月27日にリニューアルオープンしました! 新しくなった「かじか亭」、行ってみようかな・・・

    食事の時間帯は込み合いますが、番号札をとって隣の大きな薬局のチェーン店で買い物をしていれば待ち時間も気になりません。誰かが店内に残って番号が近づいたら呼び戻す必要はあったと思います。

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.
