Tochu Ryoutei
Posted 27 Feb 2009 - 17:28 by Torazo
Last night Izumiya-san invited me and my wife, and also Maruju-san and Miyatora-san and their wives, for a meal at Tochu Ryoutei. Ryoutei means traditional Japanese restaurant.
This old traditional building has been here in Ojiya for around 150 years since the Edo period (1603-1867).
You can see lots more pictures of the very traditional building on their website http://www.touchu.co.jp/. It is only in Japanese, just click on the links of the left.
Tsuyoshi-san
Thank you for you information and photographs.
For anyone following the link above, Google and Yahoo do a pretty good job of translating it.
I have added Tochu Ryoutei to the Guide to Niigata and also to the map.
