Great experience

Gorgeous location within the garden. We shared had the tofu dish with side vegetables and it was enough for two. The tofu was delicious.

We expected it to be more expensive! I think it was altogether 4000 yen for two people including the seating. Note that payment is cash only and you need to pay when ordering.

Pros: Beautiful garden, Tranquil ambiance, Not that expensive

Lovely experience with great views into the garden

The tofu soup was brought in a big pot to share with small side dishes on little plates. It was a very peaceful atmosphere with only a few tables and view into the garden on both sides. Green tea is free and local sake is available on request.

Pros: Beautiful experiece, Peaceful and traditional
