    2017年に,大阪から,この地に移転したという。 天理市が,トレイルセンターの管理者を募集したのだ。 以前,山の辺のみちを歩いた時,ここに,殺風景な建物があった。 それが,超人気店の移転で,驚くほどの様変わりだ。 日曜日の12時半に,勝井に着いたのち,30分ほど待ったら,運良く窓ぎわの席に案内された。 この日は,1時をいくぶんか回れば,客はみな,窓ぎわの席に座れたようだ。 この店一番人気らしい,エ...

    A “yoshoku” Japanese-style Western food restaurant situated inside an old townhome in Kunodo Town, Nara City, Nara Prefecture.

The inside of the restaurant has the quiet atmosphere of an old-fashioned Japanese home, making it easy to enjoy a quiet meal at your leisure.

    雰囲気のある町屋のレストラン。出来れば掘りごたつの部屋に座りたかった。 人気メニューのハンバーグとエビフライセットをいただいた。 大きなエビフライのタルタルに奈良漬が入っているのが面白い。ハンバーグは、おそらく牛肉の割合が高いようだ。見た目も食感もポロポロしている。個人的には豚との合挽きでしっかりとこねた生地のしっとりしたハンバーグが好みなので、再訪は無い。ならまちの雰囲気に浸れるし、予算的にもよ...

    Nara Pref. Narashi Hashimotochou 15-1
    An Italian restaurant located a four minute walk from Kintetsu-Nara Station which serves dishes lovingly prepared from select Nara ingredients including traditional Yamato vegetables, Yamato pork, and Yamato beef. In spite of Nara’s lack of access to the ocean, the restaurant is also renowned for its fresh seafood shipped direct from Tosashimizu. The restaurant has a stylish interior and relaxed atmosphere that makes it easy for both couples an groups to enjoy themselves. In addition to a la carte dishes such as chewy oven-baked pizza and authentic pastas, the restaurant also offers a full menu of reasonably-priced lunch choices.

    Good pasta and pizza, service was very good on a busy night. We had no problems communicating to them in English. They coped with allergies very well. We enjoyed our meal!

Nara Areas

around-area-map

With a reputation almost as stellar as that of Kyoto, Nara is a must-visit for those searching for the remains of "traditional Japan." The largely green Nara city holds the majority of the prefecture’s treasures, such as the iconic Todai-ji Temple, in which a 15-meter tall Great Buddha sits, and Nara Park, where deer flock to befriend passersby. While mountains are by no means hard to come by in this area, for hiking with a reward, head to the Kii Mountains’ Yoshino district in spring, when the hillsides put on an impressive display of white and pink cherry blossoms.
