What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

A renowned hand-rolled soba restaurant established in 2000 in the remote village of Totsukawa, the southernmost point of Nara Prefecture. Listed in the Michelin Guide. Buckwheat grown locally is stone-ground in-house; noodles are chilled with pure mountain spring water. Food enthusiasts travel from across Japan to experience this 'hidden gem soba of the wilderness'. Located about 3 minutes by car from the famous Tazuse suspension bridge. Mountain streams are visible from the wooden interior — the soba experience in nature is extraordinary.

Reviews: 'Cannot believe such incredible soba exists deep in these mountains', 'Fully deserves the Michelin listing', 'The broth has such an elegant aroma', 'Worth making the journey to this remote village', 'A must-visit when in Totsukawa', 'I want to come back again and again'. 241 Tabelog reviews with strong repeat visit intent.
