Located in the heart of Obuse, Chikufudo is famous for its chestnut rice (Kuri Okowa) and other chestnut-based sweets. Just an 8-minute walk from Obuse Station on the Nagano Electric Railway, this popular spot offers a delightful dining experience on the second floor and a shop on the first floor where you can purchase various chestnut confections. Be sure to try their signature Kuri Okowa set meal, featuring savory chestnut rice accompanied by mountain vegetables and miso soup. The best time to visit is during the autumn season to enjoy the freshest chestnuts. Expect a moderate noise level due to its popularity.
