The ultimate comfort food of the Mt. Fuji region.
"Hoto" is the most iconic regional dish of Yamanashi Prefecture. Unlike standard udon, it features flat, rustic noodles simmered for a long time with sweet pumpkin, mushrooms, and seasonal mountain vegetables in a rich, savory miso-based broth.

Historically known as the favorite soul food of the famous samurai warlord Takeda Shingen, the pumpkin melts into the broth to create a natural, sweet depth of flavor. It's the perfect, heartwarming meal to savor while exploring the Mt. Fuji area!

Designated as a Japanese Natural Monument, these eight crystal-clear spring pools are fed by melting snow from Mt. Fuji that has been filtered through porous lava for 80 years. The traditional thatched-roof village perfectly frames the majestic mountain in the background.

A premier flower viewing spot on the northern shore of Lake Kawaguchi. Stroll along the 350-meter promenade offering seasonal spectacles: pink Shibazakura in spring, purple lavender in summer, and fiery red Kochia bushes in autumn—all with Mt. Fuji as a breathtaking backdrop.

The most accessible and activity-rich of the Fuji Five Lakes. On clear days, you might catch the legendary "Upside-down Fuji" reflected on the water's surface. Here, you will enjoy your hot, delicious Hoto Noodle lunch while taking in the stunning lakeside scenery.

The ultimate Instagram phenomenon! With the massive silhouette of Mt. Fuji looming directly behind the shop's roof, it creates a surreal, cyberpunk-meets-nature aesthetic. We schedule a specific photo stop here so you can capture this iconic shot yourself.
