 Asahiya’s Saba-Zushi (Mackerel Sushi)

This cozy, friendly Japanese restaurant is renowned for its traditional saba-zushi (mackerel sushi). It is located right in front of Iwashimizu-hachimangu Station. Nestled at the base of the Iwashimizu Hachimangu shrine (it has National Treasures!), it has been loved by many locals and visitors for over 100 years. Asahiya uses premium mackerel from northeastern Japan and delicious rice grown in Yawata to make its signature saba-zushi. Enjoy your meal in the quaint restaurant or take it to go.

Iwashimizu-hachimangu-sando-cable

Take a delightful ride on this cable car that connects Cable-hachimangu-guchi Station (at the foot of Mt. Otokoyama) to Cable-hachimangu-sanjo Station (up on the mountain). It takes about 3 minutes to reach the summit area where the main building complex of the Iwashimizu Hachimangu shrine awaits.

The height of the bridge in the middle is about 43 meters, making it the highest cable car bridge in Japan.

The passing landscape seen from the window is superb. Around the fall season, vibrant colors of fall foliage add to the spectacle.

At Cable-hachimangu-sanjo Station, commemorate your ride with a special stamp. Also, from the top of the mountain, enjoy the scenery unique to this location. You can see the Kizu River, Uji River, Katsura River, Mt. Tennozan, Mt. Hiei, the mountains in Uji, and so on.
