Located on the fan of the Inukami River, Koura Town is blessed with abundant water. The roadside station located along Route 307 is always crowded with people seeking specialties grown in the clear water and greenery. Of particular note is a take-out store specializing in authentic Neapolitan pizza. The owner-chef, who honed his skills at a famous restaurant in Nihonbashi, Tokyo, offers delicious pizza using locally grown fresh vegetables and Omi beef, and the dough, which is aged for two days, is baked at once in a stone oven at 400 degrees for an exceptional aroma and texture. The pizza is loved by people of all ages because it is reasonably priced.
