Kisetsu Ryori Funayado

If you exit Shibasaki station and follow the train line Towards Kokuryo, you’ll see the golf driving range this restaurant calls home. There are many other places to eat on the grounds, but Kisetsu Ryori Funayado is in a house which was used by an old, established family, built in the gassho-zukuri style. During summer it serves nagashi-somen, where the noodles are sent down a sort of bamboo water slide to be plucked out with chopsticks. It’s easy to relax in the retro interior of the restaurant. For those of you who don’t like the heat, though, take care because there is no air conditioning – only electric fans. Be sure to make a reservation before you go.
