Shimitaya Restaurant

An Authentic Kaiseki Experience in the Heart of Nozawa

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.

We stayed at the View Hotel for a week in February this year, and dined here for my husband's 60th birthday. The degustation was amazing. The food was delicious and the courses just kept coming out. It was fantastic. Highly recommended.

We stayed at the Shimataya hotel for 4 nights during the winter and took the opportunity to partake in the Kaiseki dinner offered by the hotel. With 2 menu options there is something for everyone. The food was beautifully presented and the flavours amazing.
