Bora Naya（Flathead gray mullet Barn)

This is a fisherman’s hut built by the Kii family in 1626 during the Edo period for “Flathead gray mullet fishing” introduced from Kishu.

Fishermen who lived in the hut lived there while taking care of their boats and nets for Flathead gray mullet fishing.

At that time, the Kii family was protected by the Tokugawa Shogunate and directly operated the establishment. It is said that mullet caught in this area was presented to Edo Castle, and even Tokugawa Iemitsu, the third Seiin Taishogun of the Edo Shogunate, ate it.

The mullet barn with such history has been restored and turned into a restaurant specializing in Izu’s natural local fish dishes such as sea bream and shirasu (baby sardines).

Visitors can enjoy fresh seafood in a tatami room that retains the atmosphere of a fisherman’s hut with a thatched roof that smells of the sea.

There is also a 1.4-km picnic course from the Bora Barn to the suspension bridge, making it a popular sightseeing base.
