Frommer's Highly Recommended

Although located in a nondescript building and decorated very simply, this is a good choice for inexpensive Japanese set meals near the station. The food, which features local and vegetarian dishes, is delicious and beautifully presented. There's an English-language menu with photographs, and seating is either at tables or on tatami mats. You can choose from a variety of fixed-price meals offering soup, appetizer, rice, a main dish, and side dishes. A vegetarian meal for ¥1,900 ($16/£8), for example, is the kind of light meal usually served at a tea ceremony.
