Kenroku-en

Nature & Parks
Parks
Kenroku-en is a renowned park in Japan, known as one of the country's "Three Famous Gardens." It was meticulously designed to showcase its beauty throughout all seasons. The garden's name, which means "The Garden of Six Features," reflects the six qualities that gardens should embody. This expansive strolling garden features vibrant flowers, meandering streams, and traditional cottages and teahouses.
One of the best gardens in the world even when not in bloom. Among the top 3 in Japan but considered the most beautiful of them all, some of the views are world famous and rightly so. A real, unmissable gem.

Despite the rainy day we still decided to visit the park. It was worth every raindrop on our heads. The park is breathtaking. Just wish they put up more lights in the evening and left the park open an hour longer. It’s so beautiful. Even the gardeners were so friendly and took their time talking to us in English explaining about the history of the park!!!

It's pure Japanese garden. Beautiful huge bonsai trees and well kept park. Lots of benches provided for resting and there are also modern and clean toilets in the park. My first visit here was winter and recently I came ( in summer), its totally different.

A stunningly beautiful garden, one of the most beautiful in Japan. On a fine day a wonderful place to explore. There is also a museum of Japanese arts and crafts. This garden is next to Kanazawa Castle so both can be explored together. Outside the gardens there are many cafes and restaurants to enjoy.

Beautiful and clean garden near Kanazawa Castle, I was walking in here while enjoying the scenery. This place is perfect for people who enjoy taking natural photography. There is some shops that selling a gold leaf ice cream, it was quite pricey but when you have this in a sunny day it's worth to try.
Alvin Aby Artahsasta — Google review
A superbly curated garden with several sections - the majority of which are centred around a lake (or large pond). There's as an area dedicated to blossoms, which is nice. I went in March, but feel that it would be spectacular in April, during the autumn season or when snowy. I was there at 10-11am and did not find it too crowded either. The people there were respectful of the environment and others.

It was picturesque. The place was huge, but it was a beautiful garden. If you are not really into nature, you would probably get easily bored. There are food stalls outside as well where you can buy mochi, soft cream, and others. Their gold soft cream is a must-try.

This grandiose Japanese garden is an amazing experience. It’s so large and full of beautiful areas and small bits of history. Spent hours walking around soaking in the serenity and beauty. There’s a tea ceremony, a couple of museums and a boatload of pretty views. The people working there are absolutely doing a fantastic job keeping this pristine. Combined with a trip to Kanazawa castle and that area, you’ve enough to see for an entire day (if not more)

This without a doubt the most beautiful garden in Japan! It's quite big and every single place you look at is beautiful and extremely well taken care of. It's perfect to walk around and feel the nature and have some time to relax, there are restrooms and a few restaurants & tea house. This is one of those places you don't want to leave!

Amazing park with incredible landscaping... and many cherry blossom trees around! We went in Feb, and although it was raining, it was still a very nice expirance and we feel wonderful for getting the chance to see many cherry blossom trees.

Absolutely gorgeous garden; from the entrance to the exit and even the bridge and path leading to the garden, all expertly manicured foliage and pathways. Worth whatever the ticket price was, less than 500¥ if I recall correctly. Went during a rainy day, loved it. The ripples that danced across the ponds as the raindrops fell, the wind gently blowing the ropes that held up the many branches of various trees, and the softer crunch of the stones in a water soaked ground, simply beautiful. Despite the rain, there were still many people, all were cool and no one disturb the peace and tranquility of the garden. There was a bus full of guided tourists, majority were respectful but a good number of them were rather loud and obnoxiously made their way through the garden. No problem though, I simply grab a seat at a bench near the pond, watched a few indecisive ducks struggle to choose sitting on land or float in the pond, and after a few minutes, the crowd moved quickly through the garden, following the red flag their guide waved as they were lead further into the maze of a garden. Aside from that one bus load, only a few people remained; this was around 3:00pm to 4:45pm. I was fascinated by the support system in place for the trees, I failed to read any of the plaques that may have explained why this is done to some trees, but just by observing you can make sense of it and draw your own conclusions. My educated guess was the trees liked slinging mud at the guests by digging their branches into the earth and flicking wads of mud around. So a system of rope and stilt restraints were designed to prevent the mischievous trees branches from reaching beyond a specific limited range of motion, rendering them incapable of slinging mud. Hope to visit again when it snows, I imagine that would be a beautiful scene.

We went there at night for light-up. We could enter free without waiting line! There are waiting line in the park but we could easily see everything within 40mins. Although it was freezing cold, the view was magnificent. I don’t know whether the event is happening through the year, but I highly recommend you to visit there at night. (The photos would be much more beautiful and clear with camera, not iphone;)

Super beautiful botanical garden, came here at the height of the Cherry Blossom in April 2023 🌸 ans it was absolutely stunning. Even though it was a Sunday, and the entry fee was waived, it still wasn't too crowded once you go into the gardens a little bit. Plenty of nice spots and photo opportunities, although some require some waiting in a line.

Nice garden with good views. There are a lot of walking paths so in order to see everything you have to pin to some kind of route. Luckily Google Maps shows all walking paths. Some viewpoints have good views and on the side of the park you have some souvenir shops.

Beautiful Japanese garden with luscious moss bed (and interestingly, minimal grass!). Highly photogenic yet natural areas and the gardeners seem to be really serious at their work in maintaining this garden. The water streams are magical as the water just seems sufficient, with a smooth flow that is unperturbed. Lovely lake in the centre and is course the famous standing lamp that is the pride of Kanazawa. The only thing I didn't like was that it is near busy roads which kind of destroy the calm and peace.

Beautiful garden to stroll around. We were there on a hot and humid day which was a struggle. There's plenty of shade but impossible to stay out of the sun completely. Despite the hot weather we enjoyed our time walking through the little woods, looking at the ponds, bridges, shrines, tea houses, etc. You can tell there's tremendous effort spent maintaining this garden. Entry was 320 yen.

Kenrokuen Garden is one of Japan’s three major gardens,incredibly beautiful. The last time I visited was during the cherry blossom season,and it‘s just as serene and beautiful this time.

Beautiful Japanese garden spreading over 25 acres, featuring water ponds, streams, bridges, fountains and tea houses. Even though the garden has more than 8,000 trees (including cherry blossom and plum trees), it is tended by less than 10 full time gardeners. The garden contains plenty of restrooms and rest areas. Entry fee is 320 yen per adults (March 2024). Allocate 1-2 hours to explore the garden in its entirety.
JP Bouchard — Google review
Considered one of the top 3 Japanese gardens. It's a vast garden with ponds, small hills, bridges and various trees including cherry and plum blossoms. Unfortunately my visit was between seasons ( winter snow, spring sakura, summer blooms, fall red leaves) so it's not super spectacular. Nevertheless it's still a nice stroll walking around the beautifully landscaped garden and appreciate the Japanese aesthetic. Admission is 350 yens for adults.
M Recommend — Google review
As with any tourist attractions in Japan, the earlier you go, the more enjoyable it is. Go before 9am. Overall, it's a very nice garden with some amazing old trees accented nicely with all the moss. You just have to appreciate it for what it is, this isn't a flower garden. I enjoyed my walk around the park (Mar. 2024) and would recommend it to others (if they go early, and avoid the crowds).
Neal White — Google review
Incredible garden with beautiful sights and historical elements This is a marvelous garden - often included in the "top 3 japanese gardens" it is easy to see why - the design and variety of plants is outstanding You'll feel both relaxed and energised as you walk through This garden also features Japan's oldest working fountain My visit was in mid-march so few flowers were blooming and the grass wasn't green and yet the experience was fantastic. I've ventured around for nearly 4 hours as it is a very pleasant setting. Various tea houses are available for snacks and drinks and as always, restrooms are plentiful all around. I strongly recommend visiting this garden and will definitely visit again ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The ticket costs ¥320 per adult and can be purchased from the machine using cash or credit card. Once you have your ticket, show it to the staff before entering the garden, and you're all set to start your exploration. I prefer gardens to be more vibrant in summer with a blue sky and lush green trees compared to their appearance in spring.

D.T. Suzuki Museum

Mentioned on 
Museum
Specialty Museums
The D.T. Suzuki Museum, located in a quiet alley, is a tribute to the renowned Japanese Buddhist philosopher D.T. Suzuki. The museum offers educational programs and features a contemplation space and serene gardens for visitors to enjoy. It provides an immersive experience into Suzuki's life and his Zen-like philosophy. The museum consists of the Entrance Building, Exhibition Building, and Thinking Building connected by a corridor leading to the Suzuki Dazhuo Pavilion near his birthplace.
I did not know the philosopher at the beginning, but paying 310 to enter and appreciate the architecture is worth it. If you love the architecture, I recommend you to go to Yoshiro and Yoshio Taniguchi Museum of Architecture as well! (Yoshio Taniguchi redesigned MoMA, NY)
Aulia Oktadiputri Listiyadhi — Google review
Opinion might be biaised as I don't know the philosopher introduced in that museum. To be honest, the only interesting part was the outside architecture. And you can see it from the path going around the museum, so there was no point paying 310¥ for it.
Baptiste Delannoy — Google review
A beautiful building where you can learn about the thought of zen by D.T. Suzuki. It’s a museum less popular than 21 century contemporary art museum. Quiet, but a lot smaller than imagined. we got in without queues, and had a nice walk around after the visit.

Not much here. It’s a beautiful building with a very tranquil pool around it. Inside are some books and photos of the author. He had a big impact on my life, so I was excited to come. But it’s very simple, with not much to explore. Nothing about Zen per say, just some books you can look at. No photos allowed.

Fabulous minimalist place. . Less is more, but still is core. The pure forms here, Make you clear, Of all the chaos out there. . Aesthetic poetics in form. Here you must stop, look, think. Much more emotive than a simple art gallery. But as an architect, forms speak to me. And if you listen, you can hear it too. A calm away the hustle and bustle of life's demands. Definitely worth seeing, but it shouldn't be rushed.

I absolutely adored this little out-of-the-way museum. I was fascinated by online photos for a long time and had always wanted to visit, but my time in Kanazawa was always too short for a visit during my previous trips. I finally had time this Feb 2023 and I was so glad I made it. It's a very small museum, and you can't take photos inside the halls, but once you get out to the "pond" outside, you can take as much photos as you like. As for me, since I visited during a weekday morning, there wasn't any other visitors around. I sat outside staring at the waters for quite a long time. It's really zen and peaceful, I sat there contemplating and reflecting on some of my life moments without even noticing time passing by as there's no distractions at all. This is not a museum where one would revisit, but I certainly would!

Jan. 2024, Kanazawa sightseeing base. Convenient for buses to various places. Despite the Noto earthquake, Kanazawa Station, the city center, and Komatsu Airport were open for business. The convenient Kanazawa excursion bus was out of service on the left, and the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art was closed, but I was able to sightsee without problems. The station building is very convenient and clean, with restaurants, souvenir stores, and a regular shopping mall.

Kanazawa station is a beautiful JR station that serves Kanazawa. I took the Grans class shinkansen from Tokyo to Kanazawa and back. The unique and identifying wooden main entrance is most notable and distinct feature. The station has two entrances/exits and is connected to shoppes.

Kanazawa Station is a true gem in the heart of Kanazawa City! Having traveled extensively, I can confidently say that this station stands out for its seamless blend of modern efficiency and traditional charm. The architecture itself is a masterpiece, combining contemporary design with elements that pay homage to Kanazawa's rich cultural heritage. The station is not just a transit point; it's an experience.
Jaecheol Myung — Google review
Traveled here for the first time from Osaka Station by Thunderbird Limited Express and was impressed to see the fusion of modern architecture and traditional art at Kanazawa Station. The front of the East Exit of the station stands out due to the large red wooden gate, called Tsuzumimon Gate. Its unique structure is inspired by traditional Japanese drums, “tsuzumi”. This is where old tradition meets contemporary architecture as one passes through the gate and enters the modern Motenashi Dome (“Motenashi” meaning “Welcome” in Japanese). Advice for people planning to travel with the night bus: Check the departure location of your night bus beforehand. My night bus departed from the Kanazawa Station West Square, which is on the opposite side of the Tsuzumi-mon Gate, right outside of the station building. You will find a round bus terminal, with each bus stop numbered, covered under a roof.

Beautiful traditional Japanese house with a beautiful garden. It's a small house with a small museum. My only suggestion would be to add more information about each room/area. There are some bits of info in English and Japanese but I feel it needs more to add to the experience. Worth a visit if you're in the area.
Paco Hernández — Google review
This was a fantastic tour. It was in Japanese and I do not speak Japanese, but you are given a pamphlet in English that explains everything. The house has so many hidden defensive secrets that the nickname of a samurai house is appropriate. It has very limited openings to tour but is at the top of my list for things to see and do in Kanazawa. You have to personally call one month in advance for reservations. The person I spoke with spoke excellent English and was able to make the reservations for me without a problems. You can’t take pictures inside but I have included exterior pictures. The door picture with the white steps looks like one door, but actually goes to two separate address- one outside and one inside.

The house is beautiful, the many inner gardens, big and small, are extremely poetic and we spent quite a while sitting down in contemplation. Beauful samurai armature at the entrance. Once out of the house, we meandered along the ways around the house where you can see more houses in old Japanese style and artist pottery studios. Absolutely worth the visit. By the way, entrance fee of 500yen must be paid in cash.
Donatella Polizzi — Google review
When we went there on a Friday afternoon there were simply way too many tourists cramped into a petite Japanese house; it felt like an open house with way too many people in it. They should really limit the number of people as it affects the experience and the narrow corridors and stairways are tricky with so many people. There were tourists entering the gardens when they weren’t supposed to just to take pictures and no one to police them. The samurai armour at the entrance was impressive but strangely cannot be photographed. There was a lack of explanation about the house, its history and samurai owner. The swords in the museum similarly felt devoid of history and a narrative. The gardens were amazing but overall the experience felt like visiting a tea house rather than that of a high ranking samurai. Some work and investment needs to be made to make this worthy to be a tourist attraction (and actually the samurai’s neighbour’s house look more impressive).
Michael Ong — Google review
A worthwhile visit to see how an important samurai’s house looked like but this house also has one of the most amazing Japanese garden ever. Kids would love the large colourful koi fish in pond. Adults 500Y. There is a tiny museum as well there that’s also interesting to see older swords, coins and collectibles. Tip: bring cash and use only smart phones for cameras! Bring student ID for discount.

We inserted a visit to Kanazawa in our tour of Japan, between Tokyo and Kyoto since it is easily reachable by Shinkansen and include a lot of historical town and villages. All Kanazawa districts can be visited by foot in one day and we hired a private guide in order to get the most of our visit. The Samurai district and Nomura Samurai house was included in the tour. The house is a recreation sitting on top of the original ruins, Samurai houses having been destroyed as part of the Meiji restoration. It includes an original Samurai armor and a beautiful garden. Tickets can be bought on site for a few hundred yen and the visit take less than 30 minutes.

If you're interested in seeing a traditional Japanese house, and a Samurai one at that, this is a great place to visit. The two storey house is complete with a displayed Samurai suit and some other relics of the era, indoor tatami living areas, altar, and a really tranquil and beautiful house garden with a water feature and koi. It's not particularly big, as it was a residence after all, but it is charming in its own way and people like to sit by the garden and pond to enjoy the tranquil ambience.

The most gorgeous traditional Japanese house with fancy decorations and goods resided by Maeda family. It has a lot of different architectural styles and materials which makes the house unique. Photos are only allowed in the gardens. Admission is 700 yen, a bit expensive for the size and exhibition if you don’t really know the history, but worth visiting when you come to Kanazawa for the first time.
Wakana Komatsu Kodo — Google review
Built by one of the last Maeda lords as a retirement house for his mother, Seisonkaku is a relatively large traditional Japanese house situated right next to Kenrokuen which has its own (tiny) gardens. However I found it quite disappointing compared to the amazing Kenrokuen, and yet the admission of 700¥ is higher than Kenrokuen itself (500¥). There is nothing special inside for someone who has already seen traditional Japanese houses. The Shima teahouse in the Higashi Chaya district was far more beautiful.

The house has some beautiful details. There were two we almost missed. The turtle’s painted on the wainscoting are faded. We are glad we asked where they were. Second, in the raised room where she received visitors, lean over and check out the ceiling. It has beautiful wood panels. You’re going to miss it if you just look at the room and it’s contents. They have seasonal displays. We saw the dolls. We were told grandparents gave dolls to celebrate the birth of little girls. The dolls were handed down over the generations. I wish we saw some of the wardrobe items, dolls just aren’t my thing. It is also interesting to compare this house to the Nomura samurai house a short distance away. I recommend seeing these two back to back. You’ll be amazed at the difference in aristocracy and samurai.

French restaurant
Located in Kanazawa near the serene Sai River, Installation Table ENSO L'asymetrie du calme is a French restaurant set in a traditional house. Opened in January 2016, this dining spot has gained popularity for its refined and daring dishes. The chef-owner Makoto Doi, with extensive experience from Japan and Europe, demonstrates his culinary skills in the open kitchen.
The food was divine here. Most delicious restaurant on our Japan trip so far. It provides delicious French Japanese cuisine with a flair of new Nordic. The chef uses all seasonal and local ingredients and is creative in taste and form, so the food was not only delicious but also beautiful. Highly recommend!

In March 2023 I spent three weeks in Tokyo, Kyoto and Kanazawa. This meal, and my meal at Ryo-sho, were the absolute food highlights. "Inventive" is one of those words that can signal trouble at a restaurant - much foams, many dry ice, so inventives. This is not that. It is inventive in so many ways - interesting plating, interesting combinations of flavours, but all with the aim of making food that tastes good. The service - impeccable. The wine list - world class. The list of other beverages, like ginger ale and blueberry juice - delightful. The food - oh my, oh my, the food. In the words of the Michelin peoples, "exceptional cuisine that is worth a special journey". Just so damn good.

For our grand finale in Kanazawa, we scored a difficult reservation at another undiscovered gem that will surely be Michelin starred soon. Installation Table Enso has only 3 small tables (10 total seats) that surround an open kitchen. The cuisine is completely different -Kaga (Kanazawan Japanese) French modern with a Nordic influence and a focus on local fish. Each fish was often enhanced with beef, pork, vegetable infusions, foams, textured accents, and more. The dishes themselves were works of art for all the senses . Plating is gorgeous and whimsical , flavors and textures are balanced and sophisticated but yet playful. This was up there as one of the best restaurant experienced I have had, including many 2 and 3 star restaurants. I wish I could properly describe all the dishes but between the language barrier and obscure ingredients most will remain a mystery. #thefoodietraveler #kuishinbo

Small restaurant only catering 10 people; a hidden gem. Every staff was very focused at the food preparation. The service was excellent. When it comes to food, we were surprised with the creativity, the presentation, and the taste. It’s simply a demonstration of how to transform every dish into an art piece, with dedication to excellence and attention to fine details. Brilliant!

(Translated by Google) Spectacular auberge in Noto. You can also enjoy just the meal. Not only the food, but also the space design is breathtakingly beautiful. The view from the window inside the store is like a painting. The path from the parking lot to the store approaching the sea was also full of excitement! The food was mesmerizing with its marriage of various ingredients from Noto and its beautiful appearance.The ``Hatake'' where you can enjoy over 70 types of vegetables was unique and memorable. Each plate had an exquisite combination of ingredients and a delicate taste that made me say "delicious" about 100 times in a row. I would like to visit you again in a different season. Thank you for the meal!

(Translated by Google) This is a store I've been interested in for a while. I wasn't able to visit before the move, but This is my first visit since I was invited! Head north from Kanazawa to Wakura Onsen via Nanao. Cake morning, after taking a break in the public bath, I met up with the other members of the day and took a taxi to the store. I think it was about 15 minutes from the station. A wonderful building appeared in front of me. After taking pictures outside, we went inside the store. A structure where you can see the sea view from the wide windows. It's not an open kitchen, but This is a space where you can enjoy your meal while enjoying the view. During my stay, the weather changed rapidly, We could enjoy various views from one window. The course uses plenty of local ingredients from Noto. Locally produced, locally consumed Italian food that can only be eaten here. On the back of the menu table made of Japanese paper, People involved with ingredients and utensils are introduced. These performances are also wonderful. The food is beautifully presented and tastes very delicious. Although it is Italian, it also has a Japanese taste. The volume is just right for lunch. The wine pairing was a bit much, so It's nice to have a half. It's not an easy location to come to, but This is a store that made me want to revisit it right then and there. I was happy to be able to meet a wonderful shop from the beginning of the year 😸 (Original) 以前から気になっていたお店。 移転前には訪問できませんでしたが、 お誘いをいただき今回は初訪問です! 金沢から北へ、七尾を経由し和倉温泉へ。 ケーキモーニング、総湯で休憩したあと、 この日のメンバーと合流しタクシーでお店へ。 駅からは15分くらいだったと思います。 素敵な建物が目の前に現れました。 外で写真を撮ったあとお店の中へ。 広い窓から海の景色が眺められる構造、 オープンキッチンではないですが、 景色を楽しみつつ食事ができる空間です。 滞在中、天気の移り変わりも激しく、 ひとつの窓から様々な景色が楽しめました。 コースは能登の地元食材をふんだんに使った、 ここでしか食べられない地産地消イタリアン。 和紙で作られたメニュー表の裏には、 食材や器に関わった方々が紹介されています。 こういった演出も素晴らしいですね。 料理は盛り付けが美しく、味もとても美味。 イタリアンではありますが和のテイストも。 ランチとしてボリュームもちょうど良いくらい、 ワインペアリングは少し多かったので、 ハーフがあると嬉しいですね。 なかなか気軽に来れる立地ではないですが、 その場で再訪したいと思えたお店です。 年初から素敵なお店に出会えて幸せでした😸

Seafood includes thin fish, cherry blossom trout, etc. The large oysters are fried in a green seaweed batter and have a nice aroma, and are delicious as is, but they are made with gyoja garlic mayonnaise for a dish that feels even more spring-like! Every dish was pleasing to the eye. (Original) 季節の食材を堪能できるお店 今回は山菜をふんだんに 魚介類は細魚、桜鱒などなど 大きく育った牡蠣は青のりの衣でフライしてあり香りも良くそのままでもおいしいのにギョウジャニンニクのマヨネーズをつけてより春を感じられる一皿に! どのお料理も目を楽しませてくれました

(Translated by Google) From appetizers to main dishes to desserts, we enjoyed ingredients from Noto's sea to the mountains. The ingredients are listed on the menu, and I'm excited to see how the food is prepared until it's delivered. The salad looked gorgeous, and even though it was seasoned with olive oil and salt, I was able to enjoy the natural flavor of the vegetables. The pasta was served warm in a stone cut in half, so I was able to eat it warm until the end, but best of all, it was cooked to make the most of the ingredients (hairy crab this time), so I only eat this pasta once or twice a week. It's so delicious that you'll want to come and eat it. The oden-style stew of fish and vegetables is indescribably delicious, as is the seafood soup. The main meat was plentiful and well-cooked, and the sauce wasn't too strong and was very delicious. We had two desserts made with fruits from Noto, coffee at the end, and several types of cookies, and we had a great time. (Original) 前菜からメイン、デザートまで能登の海から山までの食材を堪能しました。 メニューには食材の記載、運ばれて来るまでどんな調理法なのかワクワクします。 サラダも見た目は華やか、味付けはオリーブオイルと塩なのに野菜本来の味を楽しめました。 パスタも石を半分に切った器を温めて出してくれて最後まで温かく食べることが出来たのですが、何より素材(今回は毛蟹)そのものを生かした調理で、このパスタだけ週1〜2で食べに来たいと思うほど絶品です。 お魚と野菜のおでん風な煮込みも魚介のスープが何とも言えない美味しさ。 メインのお肉もボリュームもあり焼き加減、ソースもしつこ過ぎず大変美味しくいただきました。 能登の果物を使ったデザートも2品と最後のコーヒーにクッキーも何種かあり、最高に楽しいひと時を過ごせました。

Crab house
Mikuni Inkyojo is a contemporary seafood restaurant located in a hot spring hotel that offers breathtaking sea views. With its low-key ambiance and terrace, guests can enjoy not only delicious dishes but also the scenic surroundings. While some customers suggest improving the store's atmosphere to match high-end shops, others emphasize the importance of making it more accessible for all by adding handrails or elevators on the stairs.

(Translated by Google) The inn itself felt new. I thought that the amount and contents of the crab plan did not match at all. It's a pity that two people have one cup of boiled crab even though the price is quite high at over 60,000 per person. It was a pity that I couldn't enter the hot spring in the morning because of the time limit. (Original) 宿自体は新しさを感じました。カニのプランで金額と内容が全く合わないと思いました。一人60000以上と価格もかなりお高いのに茹でガニが二人で1杯で残念。時間制限の温泉で朝も入れず残念でした。

(Translated by Google) Cooking is the best. The reason why I deducted one star is that the signboard on the front does not match the atmosphere of the store. It's like a family restaurant. I want it to match the design of high-end shops and shops that are particular about it. Also, if you can make it barrier-free (install handrails or elevators on the stairs), it will be more suitable for entertaining guests.

(Translated by Google) My family's first trip to Fukui Prefecture. After going to Shibamasa World, I was planning to stay at Awara Onsen, so I searched for a place nearby where I could eat delicious lunch, and at first I was thinking of going to Tajima-san, but after doing a lot of research... While I was there, I discovered this. I decided to try this rather than the standard restaurant, so I visited his retirement place. A restaurant run by a somewhat stylish hotel located right next to Mikuni Port. The restaurant was clean, the menu was extensive, and the food was very good. As for the taste...To be honest, there were some aspects that were more important than the appearance, so I can't say that it was a good value for money, but the service was good and it was a satisfying lunch. As a side note, if you register as a member, you will receive a small discount and coffee service (lol) (Original) 家族で、はじめての福井県旅行。芝政ワールドに行った後に、あわら温泉に宿泊予定だったのでその近辺で、お昼ご飯が美味しく食べれそうなところを検索した結果、最初、田島さんに行こうと思っていたのですが、いろいろ調べているうちに、こちらを発見。せっかくならベタなお店よりこちらに挑戦してみようという事になり、隠居処にお邪魔しました。三国港のすぐそばにある、ちょっとおしゃれなホテルが運営しているレストラン。 きれいな店内で、メニューも豊富で、なかなかよかったですよ。お味に関しては…正直、見た目重視の部分もあり、決してコスパが良いとは言えない内容ではありましたが、サービスも良かったですし、満足なランチとなりました。 余談ですが会員登録すると、ちょっとだけお値打ちになったりコーヒーのサービスがあったりしますよ(笑)

(Translated by Google) I went to eat lunch with high expectations because it was introduced on local TV. ……To be honest, I won’t go there anymore. I think it's good that the atmosphere inside the store uses white lighting, giving it a chic and luxurious feel, but... There is also a seafood bowl, so the wallpaper is dirty with soy sauce (dashi) scattered. (I thought it was a pattern at first. (laughs)) I ordered a Wakasa beef mince cutlet, but it was almost raw inside. In rare cases, there is such a mince cutlet on purpose, so I asked after the checkout, but it seems that the street of Yappari fire was bad. There are two, and both are raw. I wonder if this is really bad in the season when it's getting hot. Even though the small bowl of fish is bite-sized, it is full of bones. If it's a bite size, wouldn't it be better to at least debone it? I would like to ask you to review the cooking. (Original) ローカルテレビで紹介されていたので期待大でランチを食べに行きました。 ・・・・・・正直、もう行かないね。 店内の雰囲気は白色照明使っていてシックな感じで高級感を出してて良いとは思うんだけど・・・、 海鮮丼を出してるのもあって、壁紙が醤油(出汁)が飛び散っていて汚い。(最初柄かと思った。(笑)) 若狭牛のミンチカツをたのんだけど・・・なかはほぼ生。 まれにわざとそういうメンチカツがあるから会計後に聞いてみたんだけど、 ヤッパリ火の通りが悪かったみたいです。 二枚あって、二枚とも生。 暑くなってきてる季節にこれはさすがに不味いかと。 小鉢の魚も一口サイズなのに骨だらけ。 一口サイズなら、せめて骨抜きはした方がいいのでは? 調理の見直しをお願いしたいですね。

(Translated by Google) I came to this restaurant to eat crab. When I told them that I was having a baby, they recommended a plate of shellfish, etc., and I was able to enjoy a delicious crab dish while feeding my child. There was no place to change diapers, but when I asked the staff, they lent me a space on the second floor that was out of sight. I didn't know you could stay overnight on the second floor. It's right in front of the sea, so I'd definitely like to use it at least once during my summer vacation.

(Translated by Google) This time, my family and I went to this restaurant in Mikuni to eat Echizen crab. I've eaten crab at many different restaurants, but the boiled crab here was truly exquisite. The kids were very happy as the crab peeling guy peeled the crabs right in front of them while explaining the crabs in a fun way. It was very convenient to be able to make a reservation online. However, I was told that it would take about an hour for the crab dishes to be ordered from the restaurant, and I learned that the restaurants I've been to so far have been eating boiled crabs, and the freshly boiled crabs are the best I've ever had. It was delicious. (Original) 家族で越前ガニを食べに今回は三国のこちらのお店へ行きました。これまで、色々なお店で蟹を食べてきましたが、こちらの茹蟹は本当に絶品でした。蟹剥きお兄さんが子どもに楽しく解説しながら目の前で剥いてくれたので、子どももとても喜んでくれました。ネット予約ができとても便利でした。ただ、蟹料理は来店からの注文だと1時間程度時間がかかると言われ、今まで行ってきた店は茹で置きの蟹を食べて来たのだと知り、茹で立ての茹蟹は過去一の美味しさでした。

Restaurant
Farm Table Suzu is a vegetarian (fully vegan) establishment that offers an exceptional culinary experience comparable to the high-end kaiseki/washoku cuisine found in other restaurants. Located on the second floor of a mall, with access from the back on the river side, it can be easily missed as it is nestled within a food court where neighboring shops may close at night.
Highly recommend this restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious and the quality was top notch. You could smell the food upon walking in and the portion size was a lot for the price. The prices were super reasonable and I can’t wait to visit again!

The vegetarian (full vegan) set has incredible flavours: on par with expensive kaiseki/washoku I've had at other restaurants. Access by the back of the mall on the river side, on the second floor. It's inside a food court where the other shops might be closed at night, and you can't see Farm Table Suzu from the street but it will be open. Go inside the door on the far right of the balcony and have a great meal with lovely staff.

(Translated by Google) The food is delicious, and I like the concept of using plenty of Niigata's carefully selected ingredients and vegetables, so I've eaten here many times, both by myself and with friends and family. However, recently, the customer service of the store staff has been sloppy, which is a concern. Maybe it was because there weren't many customers, or maybe it was because the lunch time service was about to end, but I came to take my order directly instead of using my smartphone. They came to pick it up, so I ordered it. However, the drink I ordered as a set was brought to me before the meal without any confirmation. I thought it was the same for other tables, but it was just me. I should have said something, but they didn't ask, so I guess I would have ordered it on my smartphone, just like usual. It was a hot drink, so it was cold by the time I finished my meal and drank it. I had never received customer service like that before, and they listened carefully to me. Is the minimum level of customer service different for each person? I didn't feel like the staff had changed at all, but I felt that the customer service was different. (Original) 料理が美味しくて、新潟のこだわりの食材、野菜をふんだんに使っているというコンセプトも好きで1人の時も友人、家族とも何度も利用させていただいています。が、ここ最近は店員の接客が雑なところも多く、気になります。客が少ないからなのか、ランチタイムの提供終了間近だったからなのか、スマホでなく直接注文を取りに来ました。取りに来ていただいたのでそのまま注文しました。ですが、セットで頼んだドリンクをなんの確認も無しに食前に持ってきました。他のテーブルもそうなのかと思ったら、私だけ。私が一言言えば良かったが、聞かれもしないし、それだったらスマホで注文したかな、いつも通り、という感じです。ホットドリンクだったので、食事終えて飲む頃には冷めきってました。以前はそんな接客されなかったし、きちんと聞いてくれていました。最低限の接客って人それぞれなのか。ガラリとスタッフが変わった感じしないけど、こんなに接客違うのかなと感じました。
