Araya

Overview

Araya is a popular dining spot in Nozawa Onsen, known for its delicious yakitori donburi (grilled chicken rice bowl). Located near the Nozawa Grand Hotel and the Shinyu public bath, it's a convenient stop for lunch while exploring the village. While they also serve eel, the yakitori donburi is the star, featuring tender chicken with a flavorful, slightly sweet sauce. Expect a casual atmosphere and potentially a short wait during peak hours, especially on weekends. It's an affordable and satisfying meal that captures the local flavors of Nagano.
