What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

A hand-made soba restaurant in a renovated old farmhouse in Kurui village - the southwesternmost part of Yakushima.

Operated solo by the owner. Tabelog 3.53.

Featured by Rocket News 24 as 'the one restaurant every islander recommends.' Praised as 'firm, thin noodles with a crisp, refreshing quality like a mountain stream.' Tempura described as 'lightly fried and delicious.' Tabelog 3.53 (33 reviews), highly rated on Retty. The one soba shop universally recommended by locals, bus drivers, and backpackers alike.
