Very lovely experience. The welcome drink view was more of the city rather than the tower, but it was still very breathtaking. The food was good and service was superb. I definitely recommend this experience!

High-End Omakase Tempura Course Meal at Tempura Ono
Dining Experiences
The host family were super friendly. Even if you don’t know or know little japanese, they make huge efforts (using translation apps) to communicate with you.
During this stay, i learnt about the true origins of Matsusaka beef (actually from Taiki!) and got to taste a huge sukiyaki feast cooked with vege gathered from their local farm and water from a nearby mountain source.
The house is also clean and comfortable with toilet, bedding, kitchen and amenities.
I am so touched by their hospitality (they even prepared onigiri for me the next morning for my next journey), i will return again with family!!
Thank you so much, i wont forget this experience..

The food was good, and the service was exceptional!! You have your private chef explain everything to you!
However it’s was hard for us to find the exact place, not too much details on the floor. Plain to be there in advance otherwise you can walk around like we did…

Find The Unique Dining Experiences in Japan
Japan is among the countries with the most Michelin stars in the world, and for good reason. Japanese cuisine is immensely diverse, encompassing a huge range of cuisines based on the region, occasion, and season. For example, there are deeply traditional and historic cuisines such as “kaiseki ryori,” the sophisticated multi-course meal; and “shojin ryori,” the humble Buddhist vegetarian fare. Dining experiences in Japan also vary by region, with each prefecture being home to its own specialty dishes and ingredients. Prized wagyu beef comes not just from Kobe, but also from Omi in Shiga prefecture and Matsusaka in Mie prefecture. In mountainous Yamagata, wild vegetables are harvested and eaten in a special regional hotpot dish called “sansai nabe.” In rural Japan, you may find fresh local produce prepared simply, while you may also find a variety of upscale and themed dining experiences in Japan, in urban areas like Tokyo and Osaka.From intimate meals prepared by your own personal chef to dinner-and-a-show and farm-to-table meals, byFood has a wide range of dining experiences in Japan. Food is a gateway into culture, and a wonderful way to connect with people and learn. And who better to learn from than chefs and locals? From gluten-free dining experiences to vegan dining experiences, byFood has it all. So even if you’re plant-based, halal, kosher, or have a gluten allergy in Japan, you can still find delicious culinary experiences that suit your diet. Groups, couples, and solo travelers, can all experience Japanese culture through food.
