As we drove along the lakeside, searching for a place to eat, we stumbled upon this gem that looked incredible from the outside. Upon stepping inside, we were greeted by the sight of freshly harvested vegetables displayed across the countertop, signaling the freshness of the ingredients. The restaurant featured a beautiful, clean terrace with stunning views. We ended up ordering a variety of dishes, and to our surprise, the bill was remarkably affordable—around 2,000 yen per person. The quality of the food was exceptional, with all ingredients sourced fresh from Hokkaido. The standout dish for me was the Hokke fish, which I highly recommend trying.

Kohan no Gohan is a charming restaurant located in the Kids Farm area of Minamifurano. They specialize in homemade dishes crafted from local and Hokkaido-sourced ingredients, free from additives and chemicals. With a serene view of Kanayama Lake, you can enjoy delicious offerings like sashimi platters and buttery potatoes. The venue also features fun activities like buggy rides and snow rafting, making it a perfect, pet-friendly spot for a relaxing meal with a picturesque backdrop.
