Restaurants

Luau is located directly across from the Aloha Hall and keeps the Hawai region's aloha spirit burning bright. They offer a mixture of Japanese and Hawaiian food. The owner visited countless restaurants in Hawai'i while perfecting his recipe for the Hawaiian dish Loco Moco.

Toan

Tucked into a white building on the corner of the main intersection of the Hawai Hot Spring, Toan would be hard to find if it wasn’t for the huge crowds who go to enjoy the affordable and delicious food. The Japanese pub-style food is rich and satisfying and boasts locally caught fish. A mixture of tourists and locals makes for a lively, friendly atmosphere.

Makoto Sushi

Hiruzen Shokudo

A local favorite, Hirzuen Shokudo offers yakiniku (self-barbequed meat). Conveniently located at the center of town, this restaurant is a must-visit for meat lovers.

Maki

This restaurant, found in the first floor of the Tsumura Building in Kurayoshi, features yakitori and kushiyaki (skewered meats and vegetables). I make sure to stop there when I visit Tottori.
