Nakatsubo — Restaurant in Takayama

Please be aware of this place, especially if you are a foreigner. We visited for dinner and were told to park our car at a designated parking area. After our meal, we walked to nearest convenience store to buy drink and snack. Upon returning, we were shocked to find the staff waiting by our car, asking for 5,000 yen for leaving the vehicle in the parking for less than 10 minutes. The staff threatened us, saying he would call the police if we didn't pay. He also told us to eat and go , Japanese rule dun allow people to park car not even 1 min after eating. So rude!? Police advised us to sort it out between ourselves, but the staff refused to let us leave and continued to harass us for money. This was our first experience being treated so poorly as customers, and it has left a very negative impression. I urge others to think twice before visiting this place!

Interestingly, the ramen style in Takayama is different to the rest of the country, the noodles are wavy and the broth is more watery. People liken it to a traditional Chinese soup. Although i much prefer the rich and thick broth, this restaurant was lovely and i certainly recommend it to anybody...

The place has a sumo shrine on the tatami seat. Overall it was a great classic Takayama ramen place with no...
