Kakurezato Shonoya is a charming restaurant nestled in the mountains near the Fukuroda Onsen in Daigo, Ibaraki Prefecture. This rustic eatery offers a taste of local cuisine, specializing in soba noodles and regional dishes like Okukuji Shamo (local chicken), wild boar, river fish, and mountain vegetables. Guests can enjoy their meals in a traditional setting, with the option of dining around a sunken hearth (irori) for nabe dishes. The restaurant boasts scenic views, and if you're lucky, you might catch a glimpse of the Suigun Line train passing over the iron bridge below. It's an ideal spot to savor the flavors of the countryside and enjoy the tranquil atmosphere. Best visited during the day to appreciate the views.
