Stayed for one night.An old folk house built 150 years ago was relocated and has been standing for over 50 years, so it is now over 200 years old. in the old folk house ofYou can stay in a quiet and calm place.There is a verandah where you can spend a relaxing time while looking at the scenery.Dinner was grilled chicken. I had a chicken sukiyaki dish called hikizuri nabe.Even though it was midsummer this time, it was a cool 25℃ by 4pm when I checked in.I had a comfortable time.Next time I would like to come in winter.

At some point, I started hating chicken meat. |If you happen to eat Kentucky Fried Chicken, you'll be impressed by the softness and juiciness of the meat, but after an hour, you'll get tired of the hard meat. …

A restaurant where you can enjoy delicious chicken hotpot.A shop built in an old folk house in the mountains with nothing around. There was an irori hearth and I ate Cochin's sukiyaki hot pot over charcoal. Both raw eggs and fresh chicken are quite delicious!In addition to hotpots, there are also grilled dishes, and you can eat various parts of the bird, which are also delicious! The gizzard was especially delicious.There is a large parking lot so you don't have to worry about it, but I think it's better to make a reservation as it was introduced on TV before.

I visited twice.The scenery at the top of the mountain is beautiful, and the hikizuri nabe (chicken sukiyaki) is also recommended as it is made in Nagoya Cochin and the meat is firm and you can eat a variety of different parts.The store is also a 150-year-old old house that was relocated, so it's a place where you can relax and have a nice atmosphere.The staff at the shop were also very friendly and we had many conversations.Hikizuri was 3000 yen including one serving of udon.

*It is best to make a reservation before going.You can go without reservation, but it takes about 1 hour.Be prepared to have to wait.When I entered the store, I saw someone who looked like the proprietress of the inn.You can see a lot of things moving by yourself, so click here.If you don't talk to them, they won't pay any attention to you.Apparently reservations are prioritized.My husband wanted to try something recommended.When I asked for it, the chef said,After the reply, “I’ll ask if you can do it.”There were no reports.Cooking seems like something easy to doFor some reason, sukiyaki came out.Time was also very tight.I don't think it can be helped, but...I would like to inform you that we are unable to provide the service due to time constraints.Communicating to customers is also a service industry.I guess it's my job as a.The taste is satisfying. However, more than I expectedThe chicken has a lot of streaks and is tough.It was a little difficult to eat.The udon at the end was delicious.I'm happy, but there's no rice.I felt really disappointed.The price is 6000 yen for 2 servings of sukiyaki.Do you think it's expensive or cheap?I think it's different for each person.It just so happened that some foreign children were making a noise.I was uncomfortable running around.It's a place to eat, so it's comfortable.I couldn't eat in peace.Overall rating: 2 starsI received it.
