The Branch Aokiko

TRY THE FRIES! . They put a lot of effort in making their food super tasty and it shows. Fries are cooked in several steps, and they are super soft on the inside and crunchy on the outside. We went there for lunch and had great food and a lot of fun. The view is also amazing.

Highly recommend this lovely restaurant. The food is amazing and I really love the vibe here (the staff is cute by the way ) My friends and I had a great time here and we all love it.

I absolutely adore this new spot! The stunning lake views combined with the cozy atmosphere create a perfect escape. Their sandwiches, made with natural sourdough bread, are all unique and incredibly satisfying. The homemade pickles are the perfect complement. And let's not forget the desserts - they're simply divine! It's the perfect place to unwind with a cup of coffee. With a wide selection of craft beers, there's something for everyone :) Today, due to the rain, I enjoyed my meal indoors, but I can't wait to return on a sunny day to dine on the terrace!

The food and coffee is amazing. The pulled pork sandwich was cheesy and delicious BUT THE POTATOES. THE POTATOES ARE INCREDIBLE. Super crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside

Great tasting food in an adorable cafe/restaurant setting right by the lake. The homemade french fries were dope! Definitely our fav

Great spot by Aoki Lake! The pulled pork sandwich on a fresh, crusty baguette was amazing, and the view of the lake made it even better. Chill atmosphere, good food. Definitely worth a visit!

A Hidden Gem with Amazing Views! I had the pleasure of visiting this beautiful café and restaurant near Aikiko Lake in Omachi, Nagano, and I can’t recommend it enough! The food was absolutely delicious, with a great variety of local dishes that really highlight the flavors of the region. The best part, though, was the view — sitting by the window, you’re treated to a breathtaking panorama of the lake and surrounding mountains. It’s the perfect spot for a relaxing meal or a peaceful coffee break. The service was also friendly and welcoming, making the entire experience even better. Whether you're a local or just passing through, definitely make time to stop here! Highly recommend!

Tasty food, superb lake view, and friendly staff. One of the best in the Hakuba/Omachi area. We had the tantuni roll, mackerel sandwich, Mexican rice, and French fries, all delicious. The owner, a cooking school graduate, described the meticulous preparation behind each dish. Highly recommended
