Event highlights
Visit 15 restaurants and collect stamps on your entry card
Dine at a participating restaurant and get its stamp on your entry card. Once you have collected stamps from all 15 restaurants, you can submit your entry at a participating restaurant.
Participating restaurants include Matcha-an, Sobadokoro Yabuichi, Misono Sobaya, Chinese Restaurant Shin, Haraguchi Sobaya, Teuchi Soba Takara-tei, Chokotei Misaki, Netsuretsu Chuka Marutake, Yachiyo Shokudo, Kikori, Kagami Sobaya, Seiraiken, Sobadokoro Sakaeya, Yusohan Ajitsuhiro and Sobadokoro Ikkyu. The lineup includes Chinese restaurants and diners as well as soba restaurants, so you can choose where to visit based on the range of places taking part.
If the same restaurant’s stamp appears more than once on a card, the entry is invalid. Visit different restaurants to collect stamps, then fill in the required details on the designated form and submit it at a restaurant. When planning where and when to visit, check each restaurant’s opening hours and menu in advance.
Flyers listing participating restaurants are available at member restaurants and the Kaminoyama Onsen Tourist Information Center. You can also print a copy to use. Use the list to plan your visits, then check your card to see which restaurants you still need a stamp from as you work toward completing the full circuit.
Prize draws for completing the circuit and the tourist information center checkpoint
Collect stamps from all 15 restaurants and enter for a chance to win one of 20 meal vouchers worth ¥3,000 each, redeemable at participating restaurants. A meal voucher draw awaits at the end of the restaurant circuit.
Visitors who get a stamp at the designated checkpoint—the Kaminoyama Onsen Tourist Information Center—and submit an entry can also enter a draw for one of five Kaminoyama Onsen accommodation vouchers worth ¥20,000 each. If you would like to add a visit to the tourist information center to your restaurant circuit, include it in your plans.
You must fill in the required details on the designated form to enter. Personal information collected will be used only to send prizes to winners. The association also states that email addresses may be used to send event information. Winners will be announced by sending out the prizes.
Start by checking the participating restaurants on the flyer, then choose which restaurants and checkpoint to visit and plan your noodle tour before December 31, 2026.
