Located along the shores of Lake Suwa, Okaya City in Nagano Prefecture was once known as one of Japan's leading eel-producing regions, renowned for being the headwaters of the Tenryu River. This area has been beloved by the Japanese people as a place to enjoy the traditional delicacy of eel. Thanks to the eel culture passed down through generations, Okaya City is home to numerous eel restaurants and river fish establishments. Among them, "Shimizuya" stands out, just a few steps from Okaya Station, acclaimed for its exquisite eel dishes.

Please enjoy the taste of tradition nurtured by the blessings of the Tenryu River. When you visit Okaya City, indulge in a luxurious dining experience at "Shimizuya". Whether you're a local or a traveler from abroad, we invite you to spend a luxurious moment in Okaya City.
