Ramen AFURI (らーめん AFURI) and ZUND-BAR are opening a limited-time shop at the Sanshuden (参集殿) hall of Oyama Afuri Shrine's Shimosha (大山阿夫利神社 下社, the lower shrine) in Isehara, Kanagawa Prefecture, from Saturday, October 31, 2026, as the autumn leaves season arrives.
The setting is Mt. Oyama (大山), the mountain that gave AFURI its name.

Menu
After enjoying the mountains in autumn colors and the view from the Shimosha, visitors can take a break with a bowl of AFURI ramen.
Five kinds of ramen are available, including the signature Yuzu Shio Ramen. Craft beer from AFURI BREWING and souvenir ramen, which lets you enjoy the taste of AFURI at home, are also sold.
About the Oyama Afuri Shrine Shimosha
The view from the Oyama Afuri Shrine Shimosha earned two stars in the 2015 Michelin Green Guide Japon. On a clear day, the view spreads over Sagami Bay, taking in Enoshima, Izu Oshima, and even the distant Boso Peninsula.
The Shimosha is about 6 minutes from the foot of the mountain by cable car. During the autumn leaves season, the cable car gets very crowded, especially on weekends and national holidays, so allow plenty of time. The Shimosha stands at an elevation of nearly 700 meters, so it is much colder than at ground level. Warm clothing that is easy to put on and take off is recommended.
Soup Tasting
During the shop's operating period, a tasting of the Yuzu Shio Ramen soup is also held in front of the Sanshuden. It is a chance to relax during a walk around Mt. Oyama with a soup full of the refreshing aroma of yuzu.
