INSHO-TEI is a famous, time-honored Japanese Kaiseki-cuisine restaurant. "INSHO-TEI" literally means that manor of "lingering sound" and "pine tree" in the hopes that guests would come to enjoy the beautiful scene of pine trees while listening to the sound of the bell faintly lingering in the wind. This is the place where you can relax and enjoy Japanese cuisine to the heart's' content.
