This content introduces visitors to the history of Japan and its traditional food culture, offering a uniquely Japanese attraction. Local cuisine reflects the local climate and history of the region, and uses seasonal ingredients. The techniques and aesthetics used to make the visually appealing and rich-tasting traditional snacks are unique to Japan. The dining venue is the grand hall of the Hirakatashuku Municipal Kagiya Museum, a registered tangible cultural property. This unique location thrived as a boat storehouse from the 17th to the mid-19th century (Edo period) and then as a ryokan restaurant/inn in the modern era. Its historical value is immeasurable. Visitors will feel like they stepped back in time during this special experience. The unique local culture of "Kurawanka," infused with the entrepreneurial spirit of the Japanese people, is also one of the attractions. The historic and charming post town still conveys the essence of the Edo-period Tokaido. The buildings and atmosphere along the road give the impression that time has stopped, allowing you to feel the breath of Japan's old, good times.
