Nikko, Tochigi, Japan｜Kodaka

A wonderful traditional eatery tucked away at the end of the street, with the choice of tatami or western table seating. We opted for the tempura set meal, and enjoyed all five components of dish. Would highly recommend this lunch choice in Kinugawa Onsen, and wished Japanese culture would accept tips for their excellent service!

There is a souvenir shop and cafe on the first floor, and a restaurant on the second floor. If you eat it for lunch, you'll end up paying tourist prices, but at the cafe you can enjoy local beer, local sake, yuba sashimi, fried manju, and more. It's open from 9am and is very convenient. My energetic mother will be kind to me and will give me energy.

It has a nostalgic atmosphere that makes you feel like you've traveled back in time to the Showa era.
