The waxing station at Torifito. There was a SWIX table with vise grips and a waxing stand . I didn't see an iron or tools around. So you probably need to bring your own.

For dinner, Raphael is the only restaurant around Moiwa. The other option is to hike it to Moku No Sho onsen hotel (about 10-15mins) and see what they have in their kombini / souvenir shop. Usually yakisoba buns and bento boxes. This is a chicken katsu and tempura bento with Niseko Sake.
