Really great soba restaurant with a great view. The food is cheap and tast good. If you can't read Japanese they also offer an English menu. Make sure you get the Japanese style rooms so that you can get a great view of their Japanese garden.

A lovely restaurant, with solid food and pleasant service. 5 stars.
If you don't like seaweed, you can say "nori nashi" to ensure it is left off your soba.
