One of the most authentic yakiniku spots in Myoko Kogen, Echigoya is as local as it gets. There's no English menu, so you’ll need to rely on Google Translate or ChatGPT, but trust me—it’s worth the effort. The food is delicious and traditional, with no flashy marketing or tourist upsell. That said, be prepared for a true local experience—it can get quite smoky inside!

I recommend going with a group so you can sample a variety of beef, chicken, and pork cuts.
