Light meal break at the summit rest area with local specialty souvenirs

About this spot

A mountain lodge-style rest facility standing just beside the Oishi Plateau parking area, perfect for a breather before or after grassland hiking. The shop serves light meals like udon noodles and beverages, while also stocking local specialties and souvenirs from Kimino and surrounding areas—it has an atmosphere akin to a small mountain-top rest stop. Outside the windows, pampas grass and overlapping mountain ridges spread across the vista, and refreshments like soft-serve ice cream or a warm bowl of soup taste especially restorative after a hike. Since high plateau weather changes quickly, this place offers reassuring shelter from sudden wind or chills, and the time spent browsing simple mountain village souvenirs with friends is another delightful moment.

Tips

Just a short walk from the Oishi Plateau parking area. Operating hours close in the evening and may vary by season and weather, so it's unwise to rely on it during late hours. Since there are no other shops on the mountain, replenish your drinks and use restroom facilities here. Have cash ready for payment.
