The path from the gate to the inside of the shop is a bit sloped but very beautiful. It's recommended to walk. I arrived before my friends, so I waited in the waiting area. When we were all gathered, we were first guided to a room with a bar counter. There, we were served green tea and pears. Then we were guided to the dining room. We were asked about the main guest for the meal order. If there isn't one, the seating will start from the head. All the food was delicious, focusing on bringing out the flavors of the ingredients. The number and quantity of dishes were just right. The view from the corridor was very nice, and the atmosphere was calming. It felt like being in a corridor where a Japanese princess from the past would live. I would like to come for lunch next time.

Located in Takamiya, this is the residence of Kaishima Kozo, the younger brother of Kaishima Taisuke who was known as one of the "Chikuhou Gosanke" along with Aso and Yasukawa, and was called the "Coal King" due to its prosperity. This historic building is a registered cultural property of Fukuoka City. I had been curious about it for a while and finally made a reservation for a leisurely lunch on this day. I made the reservation through "Tabelog" a week in advance. It's convenient that even one person can make a reservation. The approach to the restaurant was lovely, and I walked slowly through the garden. I walked from the station, but there is a large parking lot available. I was guided to the main hall, and I had a seat with a nice view of the garden. The theme of the cuisine is "Satoyama cuisine that utilizes the blessings of Kyushu's ingredients and nature." The lunch course starts from 3,800 yen (tax included), and I opted for the 3,800 yen course. First, they serve a dish with bonito flakes, kombu, shiitake mushrooms, etc., which was delicious. The head chef showed us the ingredients they use. The same tea leaves were used, but the way they were brewed varied for each dish. The course also included roasted tea served separately for dessert. Everything was delicious. The first tea served was "Kabusecha" from Ureshino, brewed in cold water, allowing the flavor of the tea to be felt directly. The appetizer platter consisted of various dishes like cabbage with yuzu pepper, simmered burdock root, and tempura of daikon, eringi mushrooms, and taro. They were all delicious. The second tea was brewed at 86 degrees, and it had a light bitterness with a rounded taste. The second dish was scallops with spinach and pickled turnips, which was delightful. The third tea was a blend of genmaicha, which paired well with the meal. For the main dish, I chose the "Kinmedai (golden eye snapper) Yuzu-an yaki" with rice. The portion of the fish was generous and delicious. They also served a homemade beef stew made with Imari beef, which was tasty. The rice, miso soup, and pickles were delightful. The meal ended with a matcha cheesecake with seasonal fruits and black beans, which was rich and delicious. Overall, it was a wonderful experience dining in this charming setting, enjoying delicious food while admiring the garden. The female staff were attentive, and I had a great time. It's a great place for solo dining, and I would definitely visit again, perhaps for a gathering or meeting.

I used it for a lunch meeting with friends. The restaurant has a very nice atmosphere as it is a renovated mansion. Despite arriving early, the person who greeted us was very friendly and led us to the waiting room. However, a young female staff member we passed on the way to our table did not greet us and just walked by. Is she a part-timer? When we sat down, the menu placed on the table was different from what we had reserved. They quickly realized the mistake and brought the correct menu. The assorted appetizers were average overall, but the sesame-dressed green beans were delicious. The scallops on the second plate and the cream cheese tofu on the third plate paired well with the white wine we ordered and were delicious. The main dish of grilled swordfish was extremely tough, so tough that we had to use a fork and knife instead of chopsticks. Along with the main dish, rice, miso soup, and pickles were served on a tray, making it feel like a set meal restaurant. A young male staff member who explained the dishes at first was polite and likable, but a male staff member with lots of badges on his collar who took over later and handled the cash register had a very arrogant attitude and did not seem suited for customer service. It's a shame that a few rude staff members can bring down the overall image of the restaurant, despite the efforts of the majority of the staff.

I used it for afternoon tea. Everything was delicious and I had a high-quality time. However, the drinks are all-you-can-drink, but there was no staff constantly waiting in the room, so I had to call over a staff member preparing drinks for other customers, and I couldn't drink at the timing I wanted, so it was disappointing. (It's a quiet space, so I feel hesitant to call out loudly)

I used this place for a special lunch meeting with older sisters. When I tried to book a private room, I was told that each person needed to pay a fee... so we decided to dine in a large room instead. Even though it was a big hall, the seats were spacious, and we had a relaxing and enjoyable time. The weather was great and it was a beautiful season with red and green leaves, so we also enjoyed a stroll in the garden after the meal. The well-maintained garden was so spacious! I was surprised to learn that this was someone's private residence. I would like to visit again during the autumn foliage season. I look forward to both the seasonal garden and the cuisine. I'm grateful to have been born Japanese.

The atmosphere, service, food, everything was amazing♡♡♡ I was a bit worried because the reviews on Tabelog were mixed, but after seeing it on TV, I thought it looked wonderful and decided to give it a try. I was truly moved by the beautiful garden and building ✧˖°✧˖° The food was delicious, with great attention to detail, and the service was excellent♡ I was also pleasantly surprised when they served us about 4 different types of tea, each one with a deep and delicious flavor✧˖° I definitely want to come back again and I highly recommend this wonderful restaurant to others (*^^*)♡♡

I was invited by a friend to visit this restaurant. This time we dined in a private room, overlooking the spacious garden. The server explained the tea and ingredients in detail, and the tea served was fragrant and perfectly brewed. I ordered the lunch course for 7,500 yen with a glass of wine. The food was made from carefully selected ingredients, but the portion was small and not very satisfying. If you want to experience something different in a traditional Japanese house, I recommend this place. After the meal, we took a leisurely stroll in the well-maintained garden.

From the outside, it looks like a place in the middle of a forest, surprising to find a shop here. The registered cultural property house has a charming and lovely atmosphere. Upon entering, you are led straight to a tea room where you are served green tea and fruits. Then you move to the dining area for the course meal. The chef brings ingredients for the broth and dishes, explaining them to you. So far, it was very good. However, each time a dish was served, the same staff member struggled to explain because the menu had just changed, making excuses. It seemed like a lack of preparation. Also, the use of polite language was lacking, with phrases like "try eating it like this" instead of "please enjoy this dish." To top it off, despite being a restaurant that emphasizes the delicate aroma of the broth, the staff member who brought the dishes had a strong smell of cigarettes, ruining the experience. Their loud, commanding tone towards other staff members in the hallway was also off-putting. Despite the elegant setting and ambiance, the disappointing service overshadowed the delicious food, which was served in small portions, leaving the reviewer unsatisfied given the high price of the course. Overall, the reviewer was very disappointed as their expectations were not met at this highly anticipated restaurant.

For my mother's 80th birthday celebration, I visited the highly recommended Takamiya Garden Tea House, which I had been wanting to visit for a while. I made a reservation two months in advance due to its popularity. Upon arrival, we were greeted by staff in kimono at the front of the restaurant. We took off our shoes and were guided to the large hall. The restaurant is a traditional Japanese house made of wood, and the large hall consists of two connected rooms. It was a cold day when we visited, so the room itself was a bit chilly, and my mother borrowed two blankets. Before the meal began, the head chef personally brought vegetables and explained their commitment to quality ingredients. The meal was Japanese cuisine, meticulously prepared, but for the price, the portions were a bit small and felt lacking. There seemed to be a lot of staff compared to the number of customers. The glass of wine was also quite expensive for the amount served. Perhaps it is just the right amount for elderly guests. Overall, I think this restaurant is more about experiencing the atmosphere of a traditional Japanese house.

This is my first visit! It seems that this place started its business in April this year. You can enjoy delicious meals in a traditional Japanese mansion, and some seats offer a view of the garden. It is clear that they pay attention to detail when it comes to the food, as well as the selection of champagne and wine. It was delicious, so I will definitely go back again.

About a 10-minute walk from Takamiya Station, you will find the historic "Former Takamiya Kaishima Family Residence" nestled in a quiet green area. Built 107 years ago, this property belonged to the Kaishima family, one of the three noble families in Chikuhou. It is now managed by the city as Takamiya Minami Ryokuchi, a registered cultural property. Since April this year, it has been open as a restaurant and wedding venue. The restaurant features a large hall, private rooms, and semi-private rooms, all available by reservation only. The cuisine focuses on "Kyushu Satoyama Cuisine," highlighting the bounty of nature. I opted for the luxurious lunch course (¥8,000) this time. The first drink was beer, followed by a tea ceremony where the server explained the ingredients. The meal began with sashimi of fresh fish, followed by dishes like conger eel, red eggplant, Miyazaki cheese, sea bream, and more. The sommelier selected a 2015 vintage red wine to accompany the meal. The main courses included fish, beef, and stone-milled buckwheat noodles, all expertly prepared. For dessert, there was Miyazaki mango with kudzu and shikuwasa sorbet. The hospitality was impeccable, with napkins neatly folded when returning from the restroom. The ambiance of the place added to the overall culinary experience. It's a great choice for a special occasion or to enjoy a taste of the extraordinary.

I visited this restaurant for the first time after seeing it featured on a TV show. The place has a beautiful and impressive landscape on a spacious property. The course meal costs ¥8000 plus a seating fee of ¥2000 and additional drinks. The seating fee may be for maintaining the landscape, as photography was allowed. The course included various dishes such as fresh fish, eggplant with eel, octopus risotto, edamame puree with sea urchin, and A5 rank Japanese beef sirloin. The meal ended with stone-milled buckwheat soba noodles and mango dessert. The welcome tea was also a nice touch, with different extraction methods for a unique tea experience. The attention to detail in the ingredients and presentation of each dish was truly impressive. Thank you for the delicious meal.

I recently visited this newly opened restaurant in the neighborhood, and I was excited to learn that it is part of the same company as Villas in Nagasaki and Villas in Fukuoka. The magnificent mansion and the dishes, which are made with care using high-quality ingredients and dashi, were absolutely delicious. The building had a grand atmosphere, and I can imagine the garden will become even more beautiful in the future. I look forward to seeing how their hospitality will continue to improve. Can't wait for the next opportunity to visit again.

I visited for lunch. The dashi and ingredients were well balanced and delicious. However, I think the individual sizes of the appetizers could be a little larger so they can be fully enjoyed.

I visited Takamiya Garden Tea House, which I had been curious about for a while. I arrived in the early afternoon on a weekday, hoping to enjoy a light tea in the greenery, but it was full. This was the natural result of my usual spontaneous actions. The staff kindly suggested taking a stroll in the garden while waiting for a table to become available. The garden was quiet and lush, making me feel like I was on a trip. Once seated in the tea house, I ordered a set of Japanese tea and traditional sweets. The atmosphere inside was calm and just to my liking. I will definitely be returning, hopefully next time for a meal to fully enjoy the experience. Thank you for the wonderful time.

The food was delicious and the service was good! The tea served with the meal was also delicious. However, I felt that the dessert was a bit lacking.
