A cuisine inn by the Kiso River

Signature dishes through the seasons

• 🎋Spring brings bamboo shoots; Seto in Nakatsugawa is a little-known bamboo shoot growing area.
• 🐟In summer the inn sticks to Gifu-caught ayu sweetfish, with courses built entirely around it: sashimi, salt-grilled, tempura and rice porridge.
• 🍄Autumn means matsutake and wild mushroom dishes, and winter brings wild boar hot pot.
