A shop that deals only with Sansho's Tsukudani "Asakura Denbu". I have been making it for five generations. It is made in May by picking young shoots of Sansho, which serve as ingredients for a year, in a local mountain field, then chopping them and simmering them with soy sauce, katsuobashi and dried carrots. The old-fashioned taste, which is naturally dried and does not use additives, goes well with freshly cooked rice and tea-pickled, as well as the appetizers of sake. 50g755 yen ~.

The "Hunter Gondola" is a six-seat gondola that, in each season, carries a total length of 2400m in approximately 10 minutes to the vicinity of the peak of Myojingadake at an altitude of 1643m. During the green season, it is recommended to take a walk on the summit promenade, which is about 50 minutes a lap around the Nikko Rensan Observation Deck, etc. Only one of Japan's leading autumn spots has a clear view of the autumn leaves that can be enjoyed from the gondola in autumn, and it is also convincing that it is called the "autumn leaf gondola". The gondola can also be ridden by pets.
