The restaurant offers Takachiho beef—Miyazaki's celebrated Japanese wagyu—grilled to perfection, with delicate marbling offering a sweetness worthy of your trip. The adjacent farm shop displays fresh morning vegetables and fruits, processed goods, and local confections, conveying the lifestyle of mountain communities. As a fitting conclusion to your morning exploring the gorge and shrine, this lunch spot lets you savor Takachiho's bounty all in one place.
