Restaurants and Food Stalls in Hirafu continue to open up. "The Flying Fish - old fashioned fish & chips" is once again operating, right beside the familiar Seicomart along route 343.
The well-natured proprietor speaks excellent English, so don't be afraid to line up and grab a bite if you feel the wait or options at Seicomart aren't working for you. There's nothing wrong with getting a little bit of the old familiar, even when on holiday in Japan!
