About Kagurazaka’s stone lanes

Climb Kagurazaka from Iidabashi station and turn off into the stone-paved lanes, where the restaurants hide behind wooden doors; Kagurazaka Ishikawa (Three MICHELIN Stars, 2026) and Kyorakutei’s soba are both here.

Opening hours, prices and seasonal openings change, so please check with Kagurazaka’s stone lanes before you go.
