Nestled within View Hotel Shimataya, Shimataya Restaurant offers a rare chance to experience the refined art of kaiseki — Japan’s most revered culinary tradition. Each evening, guests are welcomed into an intimate setting where time slows down and every dish tells a seasonal story.
Rooted in centuries of Japanese culture and recognised by UNESCO as an intangible cultural heritage, kaiseki is more than a meal — it’s a carefully composed journey of flavour, texture and presentation. At Shimataya, each course is a celebration of craftsmanship, harmony and nature’s finest ingredients.
Led by internationally acclaimed Head Chef Haru-san, our kitchen blends tradition with creative flair. Each evening’s menu reflects the essence of the season, showcasing the balance and beauty that define kaiseki.

Guests can choose from regular or vegetarian — each offering a unique exploration of flavour and form. Dishes are designed to pair beautifully with a curated selection of sake and fine wines.
Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or seeking an unforgettable cultural experience, dinner at Shimataya is designed to be a highlight of your time in Nozawa. With warm hospitality and exceptional detail at every step, we look forward to welcoming you.

Dinner is available at two seating times each evening: 6:00 PM and 6:30 PM
