    Located approximately a 10-minute drive from the Ena Interchange, this Japanese yam restaurant is located at the foot of Mt. Ena. They have a great menu for those paying attention to their health with items using only yams and the soup stock also using natural ingredients.

In addition, they also focus on Hida beef dishes, so you can get a taste with dishes like their Hida beef steak bowl set.
