Local Flavors for Lunch and a Complete Selection of Ōzu Specialties Including Shigure at One Stop
About this spot
A comprehensive facility serving as the hub of Ōzu tourism, combining a tourist information office, specialty shop, and dining area in one location. For lunch, you can casually enjoy set meals featuring local ingredients; after eating, browse the shop for Shigure (志ぐれ), the famous Ōzu steamed confection, along with chestnut sweets, mushrooms, and konjac, capturing the bounty of the mountain village. The facility also serves as a departure point for tourist rickshaws, from which you can tour the castle town—another enjoyable option. Located conveniently close to Ohanahan Street and Garyū Sanso, it's the perfect spot to combine rest breaks with gathering information during your town stroll.
Tips
Tourist parking lots surround the facility, making it the standard base for parking and strolling the castle town on foot. During lunch hours, seating fills up quickly, so arriving slightly earlier ensures a relaxed meal. Store purchased souvenirs in your car before afternoon exploration to travel light.
Best time to visit
Allow approximately 1 hour 20 minutes. Arriving just before noon helps you avoid crowds and enjoy a leisurely lunch.
