    Nara Pref. Narashi Yagyuchou 83-3
    Some of the offerings of this tea house-style eatery adorned with a tasteful sign made from a single piece of wood include udon noodles, set meals, and donburi rice bowls. Their most popular item, however, is their Jubei soba / udon noodles, which are garnished with two shiitake mushrooms, an homage to the family crest of the Yagyu family. Their umeboshi (dried plum), skipjack tuna, and konbu (kelp) rice ball bento boxes are available for takeout.

    柳生上バス停の目の前が十兵衛食堂です。 他に客はいないのに、注文してから結構待たされました。客が押し寄せるとかではないので、のんびりしているのでしょう。十兵衛うどんを注文しました。とろろは濃厚な舌触りでした。とろろに柳生家の家紋二階笠を表す、2枚の煮シイタケ、山菜が添えられています。コスパはあまりよくないと思います。

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.
