Musashi — Restaurant in Takayama

This charming family-owned restaurant, led by a delightful grandmother, holds a rich legacy of 50 years: 40 years at its current location and a decade atop Takayama’s castle ruins, offering a unique dining experience.

Their Yakitori is unrivaled in town and their miso oden is renowned. Don’t miss out on their udon, soba, and ramen; each dish on the menu is a culinary delight, especially after exploring Takayama’s castle ruins.

The atmosphere is incredibly welcoming, leaving me with a sense of fulfillment and contentment after every meal. It’s truly one of my favorite spots in Takayama, where the food, ambiance, and warmth of the staff create...

Super casual place overlooking a park to one side, and the main streets of Takayama on the other (note, to get here it’s about a 10 minute rather inclined walk up winding, paved roads - highly recommend getting a cab if you have mobility challenges).

We had the edamame and chicken yakatori which were both tasty - you’ll smell it before you see the place! Nice little char on the chicken and great flavor.

There was something special about this place - great prompt service, inexpensive, the wind blowing bbq throughout the space, surrounded by sunshine, trees and pretty views, beer in a frosted glass… what’s...

Honestly one of the best. The cold soba was insanely good 🍜 and the yakitori had me saying “hoppe ga ochiru“ when I left (lit. tastes so good my cheeks are falling off). I ended up having seconds on the yakitori. You get free iced tea also. Highly recommend after a walk around the castle ruins...
