An experience more than just food - Edit
This is an experience you don't want to miss while in Japan. It's situated inside a temple and you need to buy a ticket to enter the premises.
Read moreThis place serves plant based Japanese cuisine. The tofu hotpot with veggies and rice is very delicious and flavorful. I have not eaten fresher tofu than this before. Two of the tofu hotpot dishes is more than enough for 3 people. Use the soy sauce literally.
More than the food the ambience is wonderful. The garden and pond are pure heaven! The tatami mats add to an authentic experience. You will need to take off your shoes and sit down on cushions.
Unlimited free green tea!
If you just have a beverage or don't order a dish per person there is a 300¥ charge.
Payment is only cash and to be made before the meal.
Completely recommended, not to be missed!

Great experience - Edit
Gorgeous location within the garden. We shared had the tofu dish with side vegetables and it was enough for two. The tofu was delicious.
Read moreWe 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 - Edit
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.
