What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

A renowned country-style soba restaurant on the Akagi Mountain soba road, widely regarded as No.1 in Gunma. Soba is grown on their own farm, stone-ground with the husks for a bold, dark, thick noodle with unparalleled sweetness and aroma. More than 50 people queue before opening, and lines can stretch to 2 hours past noon. Its reputation as 'the overwhelming No.1 soba restaurant in Gunma' is well earned. No reservations; cash only. Tabelog 447 reviews, score 3.53.

"I visit at least once a month." "Worth waiting in line—the best soba restaurant in Gunma." "I arrived 15 minutes before opening and there were already 50 people ahead of me." "The sweetness and aroma of the soba is on a completely different level from ordinary noodles." "Waited 2 hours and have absolutely no regrets."
