Hikariya Nishi Restaurant
Housed in a beautifully restored kura-yashiki (traditional storehouse residence) built in 1886, Hikariya Nishi is designated as a National Registered Tangible Cultural Property and offers a rare space where history and contemporary sophistication come together.
The restaurant’s signature “Nature French” cuisine blends classical French techniques with the philosophy of macrobiotics. Using an abundance of locally sourced ingredients—particularly fresh vegetables nurtured by the fertile land and distinctive climate of Shinshu—each dish is carefully prepared with cooking methods that bring out the natural essence of the ingredients. Presented as “Wellness Gastronomy,” the cuisine offers guests a dining experience that nourishes both body and mind.
