I was around this place may be more than 10+ times but never came here, recently while coming to see Zao Snow Monster. What a beautiful place this place, menu is both in English & Japanese, Lunch was really so delicious, wood fire place make more beautiful atmosphere. Electronic Moeny is acceptable along with all major credit cards, Parking is limited to 3-4 cars & entry to this place is with steep slope, so bit careful when you drive around to this place.
