Moderate pricing ($$) with most items reasonably priced for families. The casual market style means it's more forgiving of typical kid noise and movement than formal Japanese restaurants. High chairs may be limited, so arrive early if needed.

Open year-round. Spring brings strawberry desserts featuring local berries, while autumn features sweet potato and chestnut treats. Visit during sakura season (late March to early April) to pair your meal with cherry blossom viewing at nearby temples.
