Western Tokushima · Before Iya & Oboke

Lunch here.
Then take the quieter road into Iya.

Pause in Higashimiyoshi for a local lunch, a vegan-friendly option and an easy moment off the road—then continue west toward Oboke Gorge and Iya Valley.

Vegan option available Free parking Dog-friendly terrace 11:00–17:00 · Closed Tue
A small place in a big journey

Make room for a slower Japan.

The famous sights begin farther west. Mikamo Kissa is where you can pause before the mountain roads: eat, check your route and let the day breathe.

01

Eat local

Lunches feature vegetables from Taguchi Farm alongside other ingredients. The menu changes with the seasons.

02

Ask for vegan

One lunch can be changed to a vegan version. The exact dish, price and phrase to show staff are below.

03

Continue west

From Higashimiyoshi, continue toward Awa-Ikeda, Oboke and Iya—or stop here as you return east.

Vegan lunch option

A clear choice, before you arrive.

Ask for the vegan version of our spicy root-vegetable bolognese. It is made without meat, and the vegan change removes the cheese.

Can my dog come with me?

Dogs may join you at the terrace seats. Café customers may use the outdoor dog run when weather and ground conditions allow.
