Why go
A Tabelog 100 French restaurant in Yugawara's bamboo groves, with fish-forward courses at JPY 8,000–9,999 dinner and JPY 5,000–5,999 lunch. The terrace and mountain views suit celebrations, while the 36-seat room and 20-car lot handle logistics better than most countryside French addresses of similar recognition.
About HERLEQUIN BIS
HERLEQUIN BIS is a dining venue in Ashigarashimo-Gun with midday and evening hours on most days of the week, a smart-casual dress code, and published price ranges of JPY 5,000–5,999 and JPY 8,000–9,999. It is in the Tabelog 100 French EAST 2025 recognition, making it a notable option for diners comparing higher-end reservations in the area.
Setting and Price Range
HERLEQUIN BIS operates in Ashigarashimo-Gun and keeps a smart-casual dress code, so diners should plan for polished but not overly formal attire. The published price ranges are JPY 5,000–5,999 and JPY 8,000–9,999.
This guide treats HERLEQUIN BIS as a thin-data premium listing: useful for price, hours, dress expectations, location, and confirmed recognition, but not for claims about the cooking style or room.
Lunch and Dinner Hours
HERLEQUIN BIS lists hours from 11:30 AM to 3 PM and from 6 PM to 8 PM on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Wednesday is closed. These hours support both midday and evening planning, while the published price ranges are JPY 5,000–5,999 and JPY 8,000–9,999.
Because no details are available about course count, à la carte availability, last order timing, or differences between the two service windows, diners should not assume that they share the same format. Hours, the smart-casual dress code, and price ranges are reliable planning details.
How It Compares
For diners looking at other named options, the comparison set here is limited to Arai Shoten, Bread & Circus, Chinese Suiyo, Iida Shoten, LA BOTTEGA GOLOSA, and HERLEQUIN BIS. Without details about those venues’ cuisines, prices, locations, or service formats in this record, they are best treated as general alternatives rather than direct one-to-one substitutes.
HERLEQUIN BIS has an Ashigarashimo-Gun location, price ranges, smart-casual dress guidance, weekly hours, and Tabelog 100 French EAST 2025 recognition. If those facts match the occasion, it is a reasonable venue to shortlist; if menu specifics, seating details, dietary accommodations, or beverage information are essential, confirm directly before booking.

The take
The Take
The Vibe
HERLEQUIN BIS presents as a quietly tucked‑away French restaurant in Yugawara that leans on its location for character. The venue sits at the end of a narrow path and is surrounded by bamboo groves, creating a hidden‑gem feeling and a scenic, serene backdrop for meals. The venue is non‑smoking. Details about interior design, service style and menu format are not provided in the description, but the emphasis on the natural setting and discreet approach suggests an intimate, low‑key atmosphere rather than a high‑energy or theatrical dining room.
Best For
The description makes HERLEQUIN BIS a good fit for diners seeking a secluded, contemplative experience amid nature. Its tucked‑away approach and bamboo‑lined setting suit couples or solo diners who prefer a calm, scenic spot away from busier streets. The no‑smoking policy supports a clean, restorative environment.

Restaurant context
Within Ashigarashimo-Gun's Tabelog-recognized dining tier, Chinese Suiyo sits at JPY 15,000–19,999 and targets a different spend level entirely, worth the premium if Cantonese technique matters more than French, but a harder sell for parties looking to stay under JPY 10,000 per head. Arai Shoten matches the dinner price (JPY 8,000–9,999) but drops to JPY 1,000–1,999 for lunch, making it the sharper value play if ramen suits the occasion better than French courses.
Bread & Circus runs under JPY 999 and delivers bakery-café quality, a useful fallback for casual meals but not a peer in format or ambition. For parties committed to French dining in the area, HERLEQUIN BIS remains the only Tabelog 100 option at its price tier, balancing recognition with accessibility in a way that Chinese Suiyo's higher tariff and Arai Shoten's ramen focus don't replicate. Book here if the combination of fish-forward French, mountain views, and sub-JPY 10,000 dinner pricing matches the occasion; cross-shop Chinese Suiyo only if budget flexibility allows, or pivot to Arai Shoten's lunch service if the meal needs to stay casual.
