Wonderful

Perfect for getting some food post Mt. Misen. It was so hot and humid when we went, so being able to sit in the shade to eat and relax was wonderful. Vegetarian options are clearly labeled. The person who helped us was incredibly friendly and the food was bigger portions than I was expecting, which was a nice surprise. We got drinks, but I can't remember the name. Lemon ale, cider? Whatever it was, it was delicious. We were the only ones there, so we had a nice spot right next to the pond.

Pros: Good food, Friendly staff, Good value

Using noodles

2 clearly labeled vegan options.
I had the udon noodles post climb, perfect for 1000 yen. Cash only.

Pros: Tasty, Fast, Affordable

A Cozy Spot After Mount Misen

After a long hike up and down Mount Misen, my partner and I stumbled across this charming little outdoor restaurant on our way back.

They offer two clearly labelled vegan options – udon noodles with tofu and a curry. If you’re unsure, the staff are happy to help.

I went with the udon noodles, and they were exactly what I needed post-hike. The broth was full of flavour, and the noodles, tofu, and veggies were all cooked perfectly.

The food came out quickly, and the man who served us was so friendly.

Just a heads-up: this place is cash only, so make sure you have some on you.

Excellent udon with atsuage (fried tofu)

Clearly labeled vegan options. We had udon soup which was perfect for after the hike on a cool spring afternoon. Very kind and hardworking staff!

Simple but tasty vegan meals in a beautiful location

Vegan udon noodles and curry are available at this rustic cafe/restaurant in Miyajima's Maple Valley (Momiji-dani). A good spot if you are heading up or down Mt Misen on the Momiji-dani Hiking Route or by ropeway.

Check out the koi carp swimming in the pond next to restaurant.

Pros: Great eats after hiking up and down Mt Misen, Lovely location - especially in autumn 🍁

Closed temporarily?

Went there on a Friday around 1 pm. It was closed and looked like it had been closed for a while. Couldn't find the opening times anywhere.

Such a wonderful experience

We loved this place so much that we visited 2 Times the same day. It's Just so wonderful to eat here when the weather is nice. We drank some tea here first. The outside area is really nice, there is an area with traditional seating places surrounded by trees and with waterfall sounds from the Koi pond next to it. We came back after visiting mount misen and had the Curry, which was the best food after the Long hike to the top. The food was delicious and cheap and i really fell in love with this place.

Delicious post-hike lunch

Tofu udon was delicious and the service from the staff was great. Hit the spot after Mt Misen summit.

Other reviews complained about irregular opening hours, but it was open at 2pm on a Saturday for me.

Would give 5 if I could.

Unfortunately closed

We experienced there was a number of restaurants reported as open that were actually closed on the day of our intended visit. That was the case for Momiji-so today, unfortunately. So disappointing 😢

Nice Vegan Option

Had the only vegan option which was a tofu udon bowl. Pretty standard but also quite nice and was satisfying to eat on a cold winters day.

Pros: Tasty noodle bowl, Very cheap

Cons: Only one vegan option

Great vegan options

We had the vegetable and tofu udon and the vegetable curry. Both were amazing and full of flavour. Perfect meal post Mt Misen climb. Plenty of outdoor seating in beautiful surroundings. A must visit when on true island, especially to get some respite from the tour crowds. Owner are super friendly and go well out of their way to accommodate

Pros: Delicious vegan options, Great price , Outdoor location and quietness from crowds

If You’re Vegan/Veg, GO!

We stopped here on our way to the ropeway station. The couple who ran it were super helpful and showed us all the vegan options. There is outdoor and indoor seating these days. The vegan ramen was delicious with a few options to choose from. Definitely hold out from the town shops and come here instead!!

Pros: Vegan options, The couple that runs it are amazing!, Multiple choices

Refreshing meal after going up Mt. Misen

Our family ate hear after going up to the top. The owner was very friendly and the food was awesome. He understood vegan, perhaps due to the Buddhist nature of the sacred island.

Pros: Good vegan options, Owner speaks English , Food is both good and cheap

Cons: Only outdoor seating
