Decor
A space where the essence and charm of Japanese style are in harmony
- A serene spatial design woven from materials and light and shadow.
The entrance features a stately stone wall and a "welcoming wall," welcoming guests with the strength and tranquility of the materials.
The delicate shadows of the wooden louvers, the rustic texture of the thatched roof, and the rich expression of the rammed earth plasterwork are in harmony.
Creating a space where tradition and modernity coexist.
Furthermore, the composition that takes advantage of the long depth, and the interplay of light and shadow created by the iconic pendant lights, bring a quiet tension and elegance to the space.
We paid close attention to the unobstructed views and changes in elevation, creating a design where the scenery and atmosphere change with every step you take.
The attention to detail in the design and the lingering impression of the materials transform even the time spent preparing for the meal into a special experience.
- Japanese art resonates within the space.
The store's layout, which doesn't reveal too much ahead, features Japanese art pieces appearing at every corner, creating a quiet tension and a sense of calm.
"Roshō," a work by Ken Matsubara, expresses the conversations of people gathered around the hearth in a traditional Japanese house that is over 100 years old, the sound of crackling firewood, and the memories of the time that passed in that place.
Works that evoke invisible sounds and presences leave a profound and lasting impression on the space.Art that enhances anticipation for the meal while adding depth and lingering impression to the space.
It gently invites you into the serene world unique to Himuka.<Artist Profile>

- A wooden cat carving that adds warmth
Sculptor Mio Hashimoto's wooden cat sculptures greet customers throughout the store.
Cats, which have been loved in Japanese culture since ancient times, are symbols of friendliness and warmth.
Its serene presence brings a soft touch to the dignified Japanese-style space.
These adorable creatures, which are sure to catch your eye, add a touch of tranquility to your time spent by Himuka.
- A vessel that reflects Miyazaki
Some of the tableware used to enhance the presentation of the dishes are original ceramic pieces by Miyazaki Prefecture ceramic artist Chojin Shiohito (Hiroshi Sato).
Inspired by Black Pine Forest along the Hitotsuba coast and the scenery of the Hyuga Sea, and using glaze made from thinned pine trees, the tableware expresses the nature and culture of Miyazaki. More than just a place to serve food, it enriches the worldview of each dish, conveying the landscape and memories of the land.
- Manai Falls
Original artwork by SPIRLINK, who handled the interior design for the restaurant "Himuka" and "Kokura Shima Shima," a brand of Kokura textiles.
Inspired by the clear, flowing water of the Manai Falls in Takachiho, Miyazaki, the design abstractly expresses the waterfall's flowing lines through the three-dimensional vertical stripes of the traditional Kokura weaving technique and diagonally placed pipes.
The tension and serenity of the moment the water falls, and the beauty of the overlapping flows, are expressed through three-dimensional forms and shadows. It adds a dignified presence to the space of Himuka.
- A special moment spent in a private or semi-private room.
