When a Cairns Japanese restaurant takes orders for business lunches on the other side of Australia, and delivers them by express courier, it's a pretty good indication that this is the pinnacle of dining. Yama Japanese Restaurant, located on the northern side of the Cairns International Hotel, is an exquisit experience that leaves nothing wanting. Very popular with Japanese food lovers, including Japanese people, for authenticity and freshness.
