This place offers a great variety of dishes with soba noodles. It is located quite far away from the town center and Taisha shrine, close to Izumo JR station.

They were friendly and helpful. We had the three variants of Soba and the Tempura Soba, which were both delicious.More

We chose a restaurant away from Izumo Taisha, as we knew it would be less crowded and more peaceful to enjoy our meal. Best of all - no waiting (on a Tuesday).

The restaurant looks small but, is actually quite big - seating about 80 people, on two floors. We asked for the small room with a traditional garden view, it’s very quiet and decorated in a traditional Japanese way. It creates a fantastic atmosphere for a traditional Japanese lunch. The buckwheat noodles were excellent. They come in stacks of 1, 3 or 5 bowls with different toppings to try for each one. They also serve tempura and various styles of buckwheat noodles - hot & cold. There is also “oyako-don” (egg & chicken rice bowl) which was very good, served in a set with only one bowl of soba noodles. (It was 1000 yen.) However, it was more than enough for lunch, for me. Next time, we will try the same noodle shop called, “Haneya Denshokan” which apparently has a good view of a Japanese garden …More

Shimane is famous for Soba and one of the must go place in Shiname. My friends from Shimane recomended here for Soba place. We had "Three different kinds of Soba" and "Soba with Chicken bowl". Especially I like Chicken bowl which tastes yammy soba soup....Thanks for the refreshing lunch for a very reasonable price!More
