[2025 Fujikawaguchiko Restaurant] Travel Guide for Hotokura Funari Kawaguchiko (Updated Apr)

#11GoodDestinations2024 Hoto noodles (ほうとう) are actually a combination of udon noodles and shaved noodles. They are wide and thick noodles that give you a special chewy texture when you eat them. This restaurant has won three consecutive championships in Yamagata Prefecture Hoto Noodles, Shosenkyo Hoto Mi Kurabé Shinken, and its popularity has skyrocketed. In addition, the overall design of the aisles and seats in the restaurant, and the atmosphere of the dining area are different from those of ordinary restaurants, which is one of the main reasons for its popularity. Therefore, you have to spend a little more time waiting here. After drawing the number plate, you have to wait for 1 hour. I immediately drove to a nearby place and returned to the restaurant at about the same time (because I am a tourist and time is very precious). Hoto noodles are a local dish of Yamanashi. I don’t know if it is authentic or not, but to me, it is a kind of miso stew. Since the soup is thick, it is easy to combine with the noodles, creating a delicious taste without feeling greasy. Address: Funatsu 6931, Fujikawaguchiko-machi, Minamitsuru-gun, Yamanashi Prefecture #Yamanashi #JapaneseCooking #100WaysToTravel #sunway

On the fourth day, we went to Oshino Hakkai Although the weather was not very good, I still did not give up this beautiful place Ancient Japanese buildings, holding an umbrella, cold air It feels like going to Gassho Village in March The water quality of Oshino Hakkai is really clear It's very deep but you can clearly see the fish in the pool and the bottom of the pool There are also many traditional snacks here that can be purchased and eaten in the dining area. I also bought a cool thing called "Fuji Starry Night" at the transfer station After absorbing the light, it will emit a little light But I thought it was made of local minerals. After I got home and looked carefully, it seemed to be glass or acrylic🤣 The next stop is Lake Yamanaka Because of the rain and thick fog, I couldn't see anything. All I got was a deserted street scene in the rain Basically, we transfer at Kawaguchiko Station these days. On the way back, I took a train with a very retro model and interior. Each seating area has a different style Because I spend a lot of time riding and walking So it was late after visiting only two attractions. Go back to the B&B to tidy up and go out for dinner For dinner today, we ate at Bucheng nearby. Hoto is also a famous product of Yamanashi There are more flavors to choose from, and they are better than the previous day (at least they are more to my taste 😂 #Yamanashi #Mount Fuji #Lake Yamanaka #Oshino Hakkai #Japan Travel #ほうとう

#TravelJapan Today, traveling with Mui will take you to eat Hoto, a regional dish in the Kawaguchiko area... A restaurant that gives a lot is Hotokura Funari Kawaguchiko. This is a large specialized restaurant with a parking lot and many customers... The queue system is to press a machine in the restaurant and wait for the queue to be called. It's good that I went late and there weren't many people, so I didn't have to wait long to queue. . The hot pot here gives a lot of noodles. I couldn't finish it... But the soup is very delicious. I just found out that the soup sauce is made from miso mixed with pumpkin and abalone liver. The noodles are similar to udon, but they are a bit flatter... The soup is really delicious and creamy, probably because of the soup. . . 📍Hotokura Funari Kawaguchiko https://maps.app.goo.gl/nhCbRPpjCS7S7R5r9?g_st=com.google.maps.preview.copy

#0yentravel Recommended when you want to eat really delicious houtou 🥹 When sightseeing in Yamanashi, of course you want to eat houtou, but there are so many restaurants that it's hard to decide. In those cases, I recommend Hoto Kura Ayunari in Kawaguchiko! You can see Mt. Fuji beautifully from the parking lot and inside the restaurant. The restaurant was built in 2017 and has a clean and modern feel. When you enter the restaurant, there are autographs of famous people lined up. I had ・Golden houtou with pork ・Horse sashimi The horse sashimi was fresh and had no odor and was very delicious. The houtou also had a gentle taste with the sweetness of vegetables such as pumpkin. The view is also great, so it's a perfect place for sightseeing. The only thing I would like to point out is that the portion size is very large, so if you have a hotel course for dinner, you will be full and won't be able to eat it! Come hungry and prepared ✊✨ 🕰️Business hours: 11:00-21:00 💰Price per person: 1000-2000 yen #YamanashiTourism #Houtou #YamanashiGourmet #Horsesashi #MeAndTravel
