What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

A famous handmade soba restaurant 5 minutes by car from Kurokawa Onsen, in the Oda Onsen area. The noodles are stretched to a 2:8 ratio using a proprietary blend of buckwheat flour and secret technique, delivering the true aroma and texture of soba. Lunch service welcomes day-trip visitors independently (dining without overnight stay is possible). Jalan rating 4.4/64 reviews, flavor 4.6.

The verdict is often 'this soba is worth coming to Minamioguni for.' The Jalan flavor score of 4.6 is extraordinary. A representative shop of the soba road that locals recognize as 'the real thing.' Lunch-only dining without overnight stay is available.
