Beninoya

105 year old shop in picturesque location

Beninoya is located next to the stunning Toryu Bridge which is at the main Torii gate of the Mitsumine Shrine. The shop and bridge are a two hour walk from the shrine though! The shop sells souvenirs and art. The shop is a restaurant too, but at the moment they are not serving food. Actually, in recent years they only seem to serve food during the autumn leave season when they get the most visitors. The shop is perched on the side of the canyon overlooking a particularly wild section of the Arakawa. You can see the picturesque bridge and several of the sacred trees the area is renowned for. Parking is along route 160 above the shop almost. It costs 500 yen a day for parking (if you are going all the way up to the shrine and back).
