Soginotaki Koen Soba An is a charming soba restaurant located near the scenic Soginotaki Park in Isa, Kagoshima. This eatery offers a unique dining experience with its traditional Japanese atmosphere, featuring a rare irori (sunken hearth) that serves as the sole heating source in winter. The menu is simple, focusing on soba and tempura dishes, prepared by a 90-year-old owner. Be prepared for a potentially long wait due to the limited capacity and the owner's pace. It's an ideal spot for those seeking a relaxed, authentic meal after enjoying the park's natural beauty, especially the autumn foliage. Note that the restaurant does not have a restroom, so it's best to use the facilities in Soginotaki Park beforehand.
