Nagano, Japan｜Shinanoya

Wonderful soba, great atmosphere. Tatami mats on second floor are comfy with window view. Tenzaru Soba & Fried Mitarashi Soba Dango were the best. Will come again if visiting togakushi! Great despite not being the most central tourist attraction near Chusa second shrine.

Child friendly. Spacious 2nd flr. Excellent place local Japanese seem to love. They offer free parking for the duration of the meal. Two floors and the upper floor is spacious. The cold soba retained the noodle's chewy consistency was super lovely. They had soba purin/pudding which I regret not trying! Menu was only in Japanese and not sure if they have other language menus. Staff were attentive. Great customer service.

Soba is delicious. The grated daikon radish has a slightly bitter taste, which is a great accent and perfect on a hot day!! The shrimp tempura was also delicious😊 Also, while I was waiting for my food, something like soba manju came out and the mitarashi taste was delicious!! It was a little crowded, but there was plenty of space between the other customers on the second floor. It felt like time was passing slowly 🎵
