Gofuso

Dine in style while gazing out at the elaborate Japanese garden just south of the Kishiwada castle moat at this traditional samurai estate turned fancy kaiseki restaurant. Groups of up to 44 people can book private rooms and enjoy multicourse meals centred on delicacies such as Kobe beef and detchiri, or hot pot with freshly cut fugu. Note that you don’t have to dine at Gofuso to visit the garden and its three teahouses.
