This is an experience you don't want to miss while in Japan. It's situated inside a temple and you need to buy a ticket to enter the premises. This place serves plant based Japanese cuisine. The tofu hotpot with veggies and rice is very delicious and flavorful. I have not eaten fresher tofu than this before. Two of the tofu hotpot dishes is more than enough for 3 people. Use the soy sauce literally. More than the food the ambience is wonderful. The garden and pond are pure heaven! The tatami mats add to an authentic experience. You will need to take off your shoes and sit down on cushions. Unlimited free green tea! If you just have a beverage or don't order a dish per person there is a 300¥ charge. Payment is only cash and to be made before the meal. Completely recommended, not to be missed!

Do yourself the favor to go to this beautiful place, where you will be entirely at peace in an incredible garden, with super welcoming staff. I’ve never eaten that many tofu and you can taste it in different sauces and with many variations. 100% recommend

Surely this is one of the most beautiful places you could eat at! Yudofu was great, but the view that looks out into the garden was even better. So extremely peaceful and quiet, and the restaurant was not so busy so it was so nice to just be able to slow down and soak in the view while eating. A great pit stop while visiting multiple temples. We stopped by after visiting Kinkakuji.
