Restaurants in Gujo

A Tabelog Soba EAST 100 selection since 2017, Soba Sho Matsui serves hand-cut buckwheat noodles at JPY 1,000–1,999 in a 42-seat, family-friendly space. Open 11 AM to sold-out (typically 3 PM), with walk-ins accepted and waiting-list reservations via Instagram. Better value and easier access than Gujo's pricier dining options, though hours are irregular and stock runs out early on busy weekends.

A Tabelog 100 Italian selection housed in a 1928 riverside residence in Gujo, serving fish-forward Italian at JPY 10,000–JPY 14,999 for dinner. The atmosphere is contemplative rather than rushed, and service pacing favors special occasions over quick meals. Book ahead for the narrow lunch and dinner windows, and plan for a 10-minute walk from Gujo Hachiman Station.
