Hakone, Kanagawa, Japan｜Ashinoko Chaya

Food was good. It was a little bit pricey. There was not much customers at that time. Maybe because of pandemic or that it was after lunch. Doesn’t take long for food to be served. Ambience is serene and clean. It is across the cruise ships and swan boat so you can eat here while waiting or explore after eating.

Great food and view of the lake and the Tori ⛩️. Order vegetable and shrimp tempura

The katsu pork was super crispy with a sauce to go with it. The salad on the side was refreshing with a salty sesame dressing to accompany it. If the spots are all taken make sure to write your name on the waiting sheet. Very friendly staff!
