Gyoshintei (精進料理 堯心亭)
"A restaurant serving shojin-ryori (traditional Buddhist vegetarian cuisine) at Nikko Fudoson with its 1,000 years of history. It's the only restaurant in Nikko that specializes in Shijo Shinryu style vegetarian fare, and you can enjoy the essence of ""washoku,"" traditional Japanese cuisine which has been designated as an Intangible Cultural Heritage by UNESCO. The menu is updated monthly and features authentic seasonal shojin-ryori made with completely plant-based ingredients including traditional yuba (tofu skin) of course, vegetables, tofu, beans, and grains prepared with a creative touch. Their popular lunch-only barley rice bowl topped with fresh yuba comes with a stewed agemaki-yuba (deep fried yuba), a bowl of soup and pickled vegetables. Colorful kaiseki banquet cuisine is great for a variety of occasions like family gatherings and dinner with friends."

Tochigi Areas

Most visits to Tochigi revolve around Nikko, a small city home to the spectacular, lavishly decorated Toshogu Shrine and Nikko National Park with its mountains, lakes, waterfalls, onsen, and wild monkeys. Neighboring Oku-Nikko is an extension of the fantastic scenery famous for its autumn leaves, while Tochigi’s capital, Utsunomiya, is the only place in the world where you can find oya stone beautifully exhibited in temples and the Oya History Museum.
