Ogino-ya Yokokawa Main Store, located right in front of Yokokawa Station, is the original home of Toge-no-Kamameshi, a famous local ekiben (train station bento). This humble eatery offers a taste of history with its renowned kamameshi, featuring savory chicken, chestnut, and mountain vegetables in a traditional ceramic pot. Enjoy the freshly made kamameshi in the recently renovated, modern interior, or take it to go. Consider visiting around lunchtime to savor the flavors and experience the nostalgic atmosphere. A set meal includes miso soup and chikara mochi. It's a perfect stop before or after exploring the Usui Megane Bridge.
