The Best Restaurant in Matsue, Western Honshu

Surrounded by a colorful garden, the dining area at this traditional house is the best place to try the sanshoku warigo soba, a local specialty where three soba dishes are served in lacquerware with each dish having a different topping (quail egg, grated yam, grated radish). Located near the Buke Yashiki and Lafcadio Hearn House, it offers a relaxing break after a morning of sightseeing. Yakumo-an is only open between 11 AM and 1:30 PM, so go early to get a seat!
