PRICE:
Frommer's Highly Recommended

This reasonably priced kaiseki restaurant, with a small garden in the back, was converted from a Meiji-Era private home more than 30 years ago. I recommend the Hisago obento for ¥3,465 ($29/£15) offered for lunch on the English-language menu. It consists of a variety of seasonal foods served in individual dishes that stack neatly on top of one another to form a gourd; you take the bowls apart to eat. The atmosphere here is relaxed and comfortable, with both tatami and table seating.
