The Dishes Will Be Brought to You on a Boat⁉

What's unique about this experience is that your food is delivered on a boat! There's a waterway next to the seats, and your dish is slowly brought to you on a boat marked with your seat number. The excitement of waiting to see when your dish will arrive adds to the fun!

Wild boar and deer cuisine in Japan

"猪鹿料理 (Wild Boar and Deer Cuisine)" is available only from December to April during the winter season. The chef uses fresh meat sourced from animals hunted in the mountains. The wild boar, fed on acorns from the mountains, has rich fat content, making it perfect for dishes like "猪鍋 (wild boar hot pot)" or "焼き猪 (grilled wild boar)." The thinly sliced deer meat used in "鹿しゃぶしゃぶ (shabu-shabu deer)" is tender and free of any strong odor, making it a great choice for those trying wild boar dishes for the first time!

Easy Fishing Experience in the Clear Streams of Miyazaki

You can enjoy fishing in the mountain stream right next to the restaurant, where you can catch river fish such as white-spotted char, dace, and minnows from April to November, the season when river fish are abundant. Fishing rods are available for rent at the store, so while you wait, why not try your hand at fishing in the peaceful natural surroundings!
