Blend a little cold wind blows at night, feel the chill in the beginning of September. Old elementary: located in Minami-yamashiro village wooden, don’t you spend the holiday when it’s felt comfortably at the end of summer?

If he’s Japanese, an acquaintance regrets the space where a slogan of a wooden shoe cupboard and the time when a student was here was used just as it is.The restaurant where is popular here “Neko-pan” of the weekend business.

As operated by local villagers.

The staff usually working differently opens only a weekend [NEKOPAN]. As well as tourists, many locals repeat distance between guests and local staff, settles the mind in a peaceful atmosphere.

The menu changes with a season and a month, but a course lunch with popular bagel and rape in season and seasonal curry are popular. Enjoy yourself after I need what kind of dish comes out. It’s also noteworthy in the drink which can be tasted only here such as “Minami-yamashiro tea” and “roasted tea cafe latte from village” using a local tea-leaf again.

At the small school grounds which see an old schoolhouse and go around after meal, and they’re also a parking lot, a little, maybe a catch may be enjoyed.
