I am not a voracious reader by any means, at least not in the traditional literary sense. However, I prefer non-fictional text (such as my CS4 books), and I scour local publications and the internet for things to do, events to watch, places to visit, or restaurants to try in Japan. In the July 9, 2010 issue of The Misawa Insider, there was a review that recommended a pizza place near Lake Towada and Oirase Gorge.
Stone Oven Restaurant, located in a log cabin building called North Village, positioned across from the Oirase visitor’s Center. Inside the restaurant are eight tables (6-four person, and 2-two person, which can be configured differently) and outside there are 4 tables that sit six people. Upstairs houses a small pro shop which sells limited outdoor wear, gear, books, stationary, and others.
We arrived about 45 minutes from the city center on a hot, rainy day. After waiting about 30 minutes, we were seated inside. My husband and I ordered the spicy jerk chicken plate and a margherita pizza. We were so hungry that I forgot to take pictures of our food. We’d definitely come back to eat here again and would like to hike the trails when our daughter is a little older.
Limited daily hours, order by 15:30.
Quaint interior, friendly staff.

Follow driving directions numbers 1 - 12 from my Aug 2010 blog: Towada City Directions and Maps.
Look overhead for a blue sign that reads Route 102 (Lake Towada) and make a right. If you get to this sign, you've gone too far.
Notice the blue traffic signs to make sure you are on the correct course.
Some signs might only have the Japanese names for Lake Towada (Nenokuchi) and Oirase Gorge (Ishikedo) or both.
Continue driving.
When the road comes to a Y-intersection, make a left over the small bridge to stay on Route 102. Proceeding forward to Route 103 will take you to Hakkoda.
Stone Oven Pizza Restaurant will be on your left inside the North Village log cabin building. Parking is available on the premises or across the street at the Oirase Visitor’s Center.
