About an hour and a half drive from Naha Airport. It is an old Okinawan house Okinawan restaurant located in the forest in Nago City. You can see a waterfall flowing on the terrace, and enjoy the relaxing and delicious Okinawa soba and other Okinawan dishes while feeling the negative ions.
Point 1: What is the overview and history of “Ouya (Ufuya)”?
Ufuya” consists of three houses in the jungle of Nago City.
The main house, the Asato House, is about 100 years old and was built in the late Meiji Era (late 1868-1912).
Because of its historical value, we thought it should be preserved for the future, and restored it in 2001. The other two buildings were also relocated and opened as an Okinawa soba and Ryukyuan restaurant.
The restaurant name “Ufuya” is taken from the old Okinawan family name “Ufuya,” which means “head family.
Okinawa soba and Ryukyuan cuisine served in a natural forest far from the city center of Nago will leave you with exceptional memories.
Point 2: What kind of menu does “Ouya” have?
So what is on the menu at “Ufuya”?
Ufuya is open for lunch and dinner, but its specialty, Okinawa soba, is only available for lunch.
There are quite a few types of Okinawa soba alone, including the standard Okinawa soba (869 yen), Soki soba (920 yen), cartilage Soki soba (950 yen), and thick-cut Agu pork Soki soba (with juicy sauce, 1,860 yen).
Other good value options include “Oya Gozen ~Masa~” (2,600 yen), which includes various Okinawan dishes such as tempura, rafte, sashimi, and yushi tofu, and “Agu’s Luxury Gozen” (2,500 yen), which includes Agu pork soba and rice bowl all in one dish.
In the evening, the restaurant is open for course meals such as Agu pork shabu shabu, a la carte dishes such as bitter gourd stir-fry and raftage, and events for private parties.
Point 3: Is “Oya (Ufuya)” located in the “Health and Longevity Township”?
Ufuya” is actually located in a theme park called “Oya, the Land of Health and Longevity. Because the site is so large, it is quite a distance from the entrance to “Ufuya” after getting out of the car. Dozens of shisa will greet you.
There is an electric cart-like ride available for a fee (190 yen), but walking is recommended as it is downhill to get there!
Not a house in the forest at all, but surrounded by shrines, torii gates, artificial waterfalls, a sweets workshop, a ninja area, a yachimun painting experience, and a cafe, many foreign tourists come here in large buses.
Because many of them are full of Japanese atmosphere, they may be somewhat more visited by foreign tourists than Japanese tourists.
The view from the terrace of Ufuya is of an artificial waterfall, but the seats in front of the waterfall are very popular, and the number of visitors is said to be quite high.
