Nikko, Tochigi, Japan｜菖蒲ケ浜レストハウス

Stumbled in randomly for lunch and am so happy I did. 1500 yen for rainbow trout with your choice of side (I went with hot soba). Got complimentary green tea before and after the meal. Quiet, with a wonderful view.

We randomly stopped by for lunch and to our surprise the home-cooking style food is amazing. We sat outside in the terrace and had superb view of the lake. Just one of the best moments during our trip to Okunikko. BTW although the owners don't speak English they do have English menu.

Amazing food and 5 stars view! I walked here after a hike from Yudaki lake. A great place to regain stamina!
