A Thrilling Culinary Detour on Your Sightseeing Route — Exceptional Lunch & Dinner at "Yakiniku & Ramen Shangri-La"

Yakiniku & Ramen Shangri-La is a new-sensation Japanese dining venue in Oyama City, Tochigi Prefecture, fusing authentic yakiniku (Japanese BBQ) with carefully crafted ramen (※). Step inside and you're greeted by a warm space that pleasantly melts away the tension of travel.

The concept the restaurant embraces is the delivery of an entertainment-rich dining space that thrills everyone simply by visiting. Rather than quietly enjoying just the food as at an ordinary restaurant, every detail — from the interior and plating to the staff's service — is thoughtfully designed so that the time you spend there becomes the star of your trip.

The surrounding area easily overlaps with driving courses and tour-bus routes from the Kanto region, making it an ideal location for a luxurious lunch to colour the start of a journey, or a dinner to round off the day. Attentive hospitality is in place so that groups and inbound guests alike can relax and unwind without a care.

One of the greatest draws of Yakiniku & Ramen Shangri-La is its interior design, which carries a unique worldview found nowhere else (※). Step inside and a beautiful "Fake Japanese" space — somehow alluring and exotic, as if expressing Japan as seen from abroad — overwhelms guests.

The neon and decorations, which boldly reimagine traditional Japanese motifs in a contemporary style, are photogenic from every angle. For inbound tourists from overseas in particular, it makes for a stimulating, extraordinary space where they can feel "this is Japan's energetic food culture" firsthand.

The restaurant is also fully equipped with private rooms that ensure a real sense of privacy, as well as table layouts where even large groups can relax in comfort (※). Whether it's a family trip with small children or a group of friends, you can design a relaxed holiday moment — laughing together without worrying about those around you, as though you were right at home.

What stays deep in the heart as a travel memory — not merely filling the stomach — is the restaurant's meticulously crafted food menu. At Yakiniku & Ramen Shangri-La, you can savour Japan's two great soul foods, "yakiniku" and "ramen," at the same time and at the highest quality (※).

The carefully selected meat is enjoyed in an authentic, outdoor-dining-like style — grilled yourself on the tabletop roaster (※). The sizzling sound of juicy grilling and the rich aroma make the very process of watching your meal come together the finest entertainment. The special sauce that draws out the meat's umami to the fullest, and the visually striking plating, have earned high praise from overseas guests as well.

And after enjoying the yakiniku, the not-to-be-missed finisher — or a casual lunch option — is the authentic ramen, perfected by skilled artisans. The combination of a rich yet deeply layered broth with noodles that cling to it perfectly delivers an authentic flavour that soaks into the body — much like "eating outside after a sauna." A dining experience that consistently exceeds expectations awaits.

There's no better spot to refresh a body a little weary from long hours of driving, with delicious food and a comfortable space.

Parking is also fully provided, so smooth parking and entry are possible not only for rental-car road trips, but also when arriving by large tour bus or on a tour (※).
