Located right across from Kawaguchiko Station, this popular restaurant serves hōtō, a hearty local specialty from Yamanashi made of thick, flat wheat noodles simmered in a rich miso-based broth with seasonal vegetables.

The dining area is spacious with traditional decor and shared tables, making it a great spot for solo travelers or groups. Meals arrive piping hot in a cast-iron pot, perfect after a long journey or before heading to explore the Fuji area.

💰 1,200–1,600 yen per dish.
📍 Extremely touristy – a top-recommended spot in guidebooks, especially busy around train/bus arrival times.
