Mitsuse Soba

Flow of the course

About this spot

The Route 263 Mitsuse area is beloved as a 'soba street' where hand-pulled soba shops are scattered throughout. Mitsuse Soba, bearing this name, is known as a pioneering establishment and popular destination on the street. The carefully crafted soba noodles strike an exquisite balance of aroma and smooth texture, and when enjoyed in the crisp mountain air, they taste truly exceptional. The menu featuring tempura and mountain specialties is equally appealing, with lines forming on weekends due to its popularity. After spending substantial time at the farm, slurping freshly made soba at lunch is a luxury unique to a highland drive. The wooden interior of the shop is brimming with mountain village charm, making it a memory that stays with you.

Tips

The soba street experiences lines during weekend lunch hours and can sell out. Arriving early is your best bet. Since soba shops are scattered in the area, if this location is full, you can try nearby restaurants.

Best time to visit

Approximately 1 hour required. Arriving just after the lunch rush allows for shorter lines and more leisurely enjoyment.
