Lunch at a Historic Inn Renovated from Ryōma's Negotiation Site – Seto Inland Sea Cuisine
About this spot
A dining establishment and inn created by renovating a traditional townhouse where, according to legend, Sakamoto Ryōma negotiated with the Kii Domain during the Iroha Maru incident. Passing through latticed doors, you enter a space featuring crimson walls and warm wood tones, allowing you to dine surrounded by the harbor town's history. During renovation, sketches by a film director who stayed in Tomo no Ura were reportedly incorporated, adding to its renown. Lunch featuring Seto Inland Sea fish served in bento is the specialty—perfect after walking through the harbor bearing the scent of the tide. Dining at this historic venue naturally sparks lively conversation.
Tips
The restaurant fills quickly during peak lunch hours, so arrive slightly off-peak or early. The specialty bento may be limited in quantity. Operating days and hours may change, so confirm in advance.
Best time to visit
Approximately 1 hour 30 minutes. Arriving when lunch crowds subside allows you to leisurely savor the atmospheric setting.
