When you stroll through Kusasenkei in Yamanaka Onsen, you start to feel hungry, right?
Yamanaka Onsen has a lot of delicious options, but this time I would like to introduce a hidden popular café, Higashiyama Bonheur. The beef stew served in a sizzling skillet is exquisite.
On the day of your visit, it's fine to come without a reservation if there are seats available, but I recommend making a reservation in advance through the restaurant's website.
It's recommended to stop by before or after your stroll in Kusasenkei!
Famous for Beef Stew! Higashiyama Bonheur in Yamanaka Onsen
“Bonheur” means “happiness, a happy time” in French. It's a small retro café located at the entrance of Kusasenkei, at the foot of Kurotani Bridge. The exterior, which seems to be part of nature nestled among tree roots, is like the entrance to a story, sparking curiosity.
It’s a shop that was born from a renovated old inn, allowing you to enjoy the quietly flowing time of the forest. You can enjoy beef stew, wine, sweets, and drinks.

How to Order at Higashiyama Bonheur
Once you enter the shop, first decide your order at the menu board before sitting down. Move to the counter to place your order and then head to your seat. The beef stew, of course, and the sweets look very tempting, making your stomach happy.
Hot Beef Stew Has Arrived!
When the meal is ready, the beef stew is brought to your table. The skillet with rice topped with fried vegetables is piping hot. When you pour the beef stew over it, it makes a delightful sizzling sound, enhancing the mood.
It was a very delicious beef stew, clearly made with care and attention.
Don't Miss the Sweets
I couldn't resist ordering a sweet as well. The rum candy cake has a perfect balance of rum aroma and richness. It's not too sweet and a very delicious cake that left me completely satisfied!
Spacious Interior for Relaxing | Reservations Recommended
The interior of Higashiyama Bonheur features spacious sofa seating, creating a relaxed atmosphere.
However, since the space is used generously, there are limited seats. Many customers tend to take their time, so given its popularity, I strongly recommend making a reservation.
Enjoy the delicious beef stew in the beautiful nature along the river, along with the ambiance of the shop!
