With its stunning location overlooking serene landscapes, KOYO BASE offers a warm ambiance that invites you to relax and unwind.

Designed to bring together lovers of fine dining and exquisite ceramics, KOYO BASE is famed for its delightful lunch menus and refreshing drinks. One standout dish is the Hida Pork Braised Set, featuring tender, succulent Hida pork that is meticulously cooked until it melts in your mouth. The rich flavor of the pork perfectly harmonizes with the seasonal vegetables, creating a meal that embodies the essence of autumn.
