Food Scene
My top recommendation for a true Japanese restaurant. On arrival you are greeted by Kimono wearing ladies. Courses start from 4000 yen. The interior garden and design is traditional Japanese.

Sushi Train Sushiro. This is best price and quality Sushi restaurant.
Always quite busy so expect a small wait during busy times. Our favourites are flounder - engawa. FYI "wasabi nuki"= no wasabi

Good ramen. Kid friendly.
My family often goes there. If there is a wait it moves very quickly. They have a large variety of other foods to try with your noodles.
