KevinIt can't be compared with the eel rice in Nagoya, but Taisho is also considered to be a larger eel rice specialty store in Hakone. It is more cost-effective to order the one-volume one, but the rice is relatively small and the eel is not particularly good.

KevinThis is a restaurant affiliated with Hatsuhana Hotel, which specializes in soba noodles. The child ordered a portion of tamagoyaki (egg rice), which was also very delicious.

非你不渴The taverns in Hakone are the ones that retain the most Japanese characteristics. The occasional whispers outside the store make people who are walking in a foreign land feel the urge to go in and have a drink.

真的在一起的时候Hidden away in the famous Lord Jim buffet restaurant in the famous Mandarin Oriental hotel on the Chaophraya River, this restaurant offers intimate fresh and innovative yet authentic Japanese cuisine in the Omagase style. It has just been opened for less than a year. We love its fresh fish dishes and presentation style. Worth a try.

KevinIt is a famous fried pork cutlet set meal restaurant in Hakone. The pork cutlet is not as big as the one in Tokyo, and the chicken cutlet is cheaper. However, the pork cutlet is still more delicious. You need to queue during peak hours.
