Zonavoce - Elegant Lunch Spot
This and other travel tips are on www.YokotaTravel.com, a new website produced by YOSC.
Zonavoce, an elegant lunch spot
You know this place is special the moment you walk in. Zonavoce is a beautiful restaurant that has a warm brick and wood interior. With its high ceilings, it feels refreshingly airy and tranquil. The menu is limited but everything is fresh and wholesome. Lunch sets start from about ¥1,000 for mushroom pasta or minestrone, with all-you-can-eat tossed salad, plus self-serve tea or coffee. Wood oven-fired pizzas include Basil Margarita for ¥1,000 and Hawaiian (ham and pineapple) for ¥1,800. Add ¥380 for a set with salad and drinks. The restaurant is half a block from Fukushimaya Supermarket, a related store that promotes organic and natural food. Added bonus: It’s near the Hamura Zoo!
Store hours: 9am-9pm. Zonavoce: 11:30am-3pm (last order 2pm). www.fukushimaya.net/shopinfo/shop_market.html. Tel. 042-570-0744.GPS: 35.7624, 139.3209.
DIRECTIONS: Turn right out Fussa Gate (0km), then left at the light where George's used car lot is, near Ushihama Garage. (Signposted "Shorin Dori Ent." 0.6km.) Cross the tracks. Drive through two lights. Turn right onto a four-lane divided road at 1.1km. (Marked 249 on Google Maps. A metal Black Cat shipping depot will be on your right.) Go straight on this major road un- til you see a sign for "Eagle Best Car Shop" on your right, at 3.3km. Turn left at this traffic light. The restaurant is ahead, on your left (3.4km), with a small parking lot adjacent to the building, just before it. For the Fukushimaya supermarket, continue down the same street about a block, toward Hamura station. The store, a large pinkish building with a sign in English over the awning, will be on your right.
