Shizuoka Prefecture Designated Cultural Property: Former Yoda Residence In 2010 (Heisei 22), the cluster of buildings that make up the Yoda family residence was designated as a Tangible Cultural Property (buildings) by Shizuoka Prefecture. The designation covers five structures: the main house built about 300 years ago, a detached guest room built about 200 years ago, and three storehouses erected in the late Tokugawa period—the tool storehouse, the rice storehouse, and the miso storehouse. According to tradition, the main house was constructed over 13 years during the Genroku era. Its exterior is a namako-wall style common in Matsuzaki, but every element down to the rafters is coated in plaster, and copper-sheeted fire shutters were installed at the eaves, making it a fully fire-resistant structure. This is a large-scale folk house built for a wealthy village headman family, and among folk houses in the Izu region it ranks as the second oldest building.

Menya Karanari Otofuke Yukgaejang Ramen, Level 3 Spicy A savory, spicy broth made from oxtail soup blended with several types of chili peppers. Even the standard Level 3 was quite spicy! If you can’t handle heat, there’s a Level 0 with no spice at all. The interior is bright with raised tatami seating, and I saw families with children. Small rice is free, so it’s great to add an egg or cheese as an option at the end and turn it into gukbap. This ramen, which was popular at the yakiniku restaurant, is served here as a specialty—and it’s addictively delicious 😋 080-0301 12-3-2 KinoOdoriNishi, Kino no Mori, Otofuke, Kato District, Hokkaido 11:00–21:00
