In my previous post about the carpet of yellow at the Iwato\nOchiba Shrine<\/a> in the mountains of north-west Kyoto, I mentioned<\/span> that my\ninspiration for venturing out to see the shrine was a\nblog<\/span> post by Britto<\/a> about his bicycle ride there. He also mentions<\/span>\nstopping for a bite<\/span> to eat at the middle-of-nowhere restaurant Yama no Ie\nHasegawa<\/i>\n\n (\u5c71\u306e\u5bb6\u3000\u306f\u305b\u304c\u308f<\/a>\n\n— “Mountain House Hasegawa”, with “Hasegawa” being the family name of the proprietor). As it so<\/span> happened, on my trip out to the shrine, Paul and I were<\/span>\ngetting hungry about the time we came upon the restaurant's sign,\nand recognizing it from Britto's post, we stopped in.<\/p>\n\n\n

There wasn't much along this road through the mountain forest except mountains and forest,\nbut behind the sign is an area of carved stone that reminds me of my\n“Mysterious Cut\nStones in the Mountains of Kyoto<\/a>” post.<\/p>\n\n

The restaurant and its parking lot are set fairly far back from the road.<\/p>\n\n

We ordered coffee and lunch and looked around inside (having sat outside in the enclosed patio). The far end<\/span> of the large\none-room floor, beyond the pot-bellied wood-burning stove, was sort of an\nopen storage\/kitchen area...<\/p>\n\n

There's a small second-floor open loft where you can stay for 5,000 yen\/night (about $60\/night)...<\/p>\n\n

We thought that the lady might be the owner, but it turns out it's an\nolder guy that could well be her dad. It adds to<\/span> the quaintness to assume\nshe's the daughter, but we don't know. She was very<\/span> nice.<\/p>\n\n

Near the entrance to the restaurant is a path<\/span> leading up into the mountains...<\/p>\n\n

I would have liked to see where it led.<\/p>\n\n

I'd like to take Fumie here for lunch sometime... I think<\/span> she'd really like it.<\/p>\n\n
