Togano Tea House, which stands overhanging Kiyotaki River and offers a panoramic view of the original landscape of Takao and the clear waters of Kiyotaki River from every seat, began as a teahouse where the grandmother of the first generation served tea to visitors to Kozanji Temple. Many of the dishes are simple, such as udon and set menus, and it is also possible to order only coffee or tea. You can go down the stairs next to the restaurant to get close to the river, so if you want to cool off during a stroll or other such occasion, be sure to stop by.
