Oboke Mannaka Restaurant
レストラン大歩危峡まんなか
A ticket-vending restaurant beside the Oboke Gorge sightseeing boat pier, with the gorge visible from the window. Iya soba and ayu set meals arrive quickly at reasonable prices.
Right next to the Oboke Gorge sightseeing boat boarding point, alongside a hotel and souvenir shops, this restaurant is convenient for meals before or after the boat ride. Ordering is by meal ticket. Groups may queue at the ticket machine during busy times, but food comes out quickly. The signature Iya soba is made from 100% locally grown buckwheat flour, with thick, easily broken noodles and a simple texture. Other options include the ayu set meal, with salt-grilled ayu, candied small ayu and a little Iya soba; a fried chicken set; and Ichime-don. Window seats overlook Oboke Gorge. Reviews vary. Some like the simple buckwheat and broth, while others find the flavor ordinary. Open about 10:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m. (last order 4:00 p.m.), generally open year-round. It is about a 20-minute walk from JR Oboke Station, and there is parking.
