Please bear with me here as this blog post is a work in progress – but I have decided to hit publish so that I can add to it as I go.
10 mins in cab (approx 2000 yen) from the Castle is Steak Gusto – Gusto is a family restaurant in Japan but when they are a “Steak Gusto” it means that they, obviously, also offer steak but also have all-you-can-eat-bread and salads. This restaurant accepts most major credit cards. They accept reservations and walk-ins.
