What kind of place?
Fake reviews removedThe birthplace of Ibusuki's local speciality "katsubushi ramen", in front of the city hall. The broth is loaded with hongare-bushi bonito flakes from Yamakawa Port — a bowl only this bonito town could make. Also known for the Ontamaran-don local bowl with hot-spring egg and black-pork chashu.
Reviews single out the exceptional bonito aroma and the ramen-plus-Ontamaran-don combo. Strong local following.

Access
About 10 minutes on foot from JR Ibusuki Station, right in front of the city hall; parking available. The official site shows the photo menu, so pointing works. The Ontamaran-don is limited in number — come early. Carrying cash is safest.
