Kurochaya

Set in a traditional thatched residence, Kurochaya serves rustic mountain cuisine with views of the Akigawa Valley. Guests dine among thatched roofs, old waterwheels, and serene wooden interiors, enjoying charcoal-grilled local specialties―Akigawa beef, river fish, fresh vegetables, and wild herbs. Regional sake and sparkling wine complement the meal. The grounds also feature a riverside terrace café and shops. A must-try seasonal treat is the natural-ice shaved ice with house-made syrups, which melts delicately on the tongue.
