Nature French cuisine that nurtures both body and mind while also stimulating intellectual curiosity.
Hikariya Nishi, a renovated rice storehouse built in 1887, continues to captivate gourmets from Japan and abroad as the only Relais & Châteaux member restaurant in Nagano Prefecture. Nestled in the nature-rich city of Matsumoto, it is also favored for its location near Matsumoto Castle. Executive Chef Tanabe advocates "Wellness Gastronomy," a concept that pursues harmony between food and health. Incorporating perspectives from macrobiotics and food education, he offers "Nature French" cuisine centered around carefully selected local ingredients. The restaurant has been featured in the prestigious French guide "Gault & Millau" in both 2024 and 2025, earning global attention.
