Sanraku Chaya Kotanuki Mountain

A "hidden gem" dining spot in Kagurazaka for adults. You can enjoy your meal leisurely under indirect lighting, and inside, there is a hidden door leading to a fully private room for up to eight people, perfect for dates or business meetings with important people. The cuisine includes A5 rank beef, freshly delivered fish, and European mix dishes made with morning-harvested vegetables, with the signature squid ink paella being exceptional. There is also a wide selection of wines and whiskies.

One of the shukubo (temple lodgings) located in the Oshi settlement on the way to Musashi Mitake Shrine. It is also a lodging associated with novelist Jiro Asada, and the building, which is over 100 years old, has a heavy and charming structure. In addition to accommodation, lunch and day-use bathing are available here, popular not only among visitors to Musashi Mitake Shrine but also hikers. While the menu includes items like tempura soba and wild vegetable rice, the recommendation is the "Yamakoso's Original 3-Point Set," which includes a meal with handmade soba and homemade konnyaku sashimi, along with drinks and a bath in radium spring water. The wild boar hot pot is also well-received in winter. If using a car navigation system, search for "Mitake Mountain Railway Takimoto Station."

Perched on the shores of the Tama River, you can enjoy homemade tofu and yuba dishes while feeling the nature of the four seasons up close.

Next to it is the sister shop "Mame Raku", where you can easily taste tofu dishes. The garden will be opened as "Seiryu Garden Sazunoi-en", which can be bought by the special selection Sazunoi and others.
