そば処 弦庵 — Restaurant in Nikko

We passed by this soba restaurant around noon on a Saturday and saw a long line outside—always a good sign. Decided to come back the next day for lunch and got seated right away.

The restaurant has a cozy, unique charm with guitars and musical instruments hanging on the walls, giving it a fun and relaxed vibe.

The soba was excellent—great texture and very comforting, especially on a chilly, rainy day. Portions were generous, and they even served a jar of broth to enjoy as soba soup at the end, which was a nice touch. We also tried the tempura, which was crispy and flavorful.

Definitely worth a visit if you're in Nikko and craving a solid soba experience with a bit of...

Such a cute place! The grandmas running the shop were so sweet, and the food was very good! I love the yuba they have, and they have self-serve tea for you by the counter. I love the string instrument decorations, and although it is small, the atmosphere feels very local. Highly recommended...

The food was great, the staff were very kind and considerate, and the hours were convenient as almost all the other food places...
