The place has a great atmosphere and the owners are nice and friendly and the customers were friendly. A great place to relax for an afternoon break. The lime soda was delicious . And the small model train that runs around the restaurant is really nice. The owners are very nice and friendly

This running model train bars is in a mountain facing the Wakayama Bay. It takes only 30+ minutes to the city by car. The view of sunset is perfect! We just enjoyed cocktails (The non-alcohol one was also good.) under running model trains with the unbeatable view. What a good memory for us! Hope we have chance to visit again!

Really sweet place and owners. There was really good wasabi butter pork on rice, and my friend is vegan so they made something special for him. Then the cakes were really well laid out and delicious. Over all the price was really reasonable. They had great service, and after we missed our last bus, they offered to drop us by a bus stop far away, so they were ultra kind. I really recommend anyone eating here if you want delicious easy going food, with a great view!

Very nice place. Had chiffon cake and takoyaki. Both food were delicious. Plus, nice view to the port and ocean. Will definitely come back again.

Cute little railway themed cafe. Good for a pit stop along the scenic coastal route. Mostly pork based dishes, with some nice dishes too. Had the takoyaki and karaage, which were pretty good. Nice family running the restaurant.

Small menu, mostly pork with rice and small side dishes. Good view of Saikazaki port and bay. The place is cozy and is designed around railways and trains with a model railway hooked on top of the bar and all around the room. Kissaten atmosphere, family-run. Cute! Recommended!
