Fujikawaguchiko, Yamanashi, Japan｜Houtou Fudou Kawaguchiko North Main Shop

Must go place for lunch if you are traveling to Mt Fuji surroundings in winter. We visited this place in late summer hence the views weren't the best. The big pot of fat noodle/udon is served hot and stays hot for a long time, hence why I say it will be the best for winter. The service is one of a kind I have seen, the whole process of the waiters running to you with the hot pots is a scene to be seen in person. Highly recommend giving this place a visit. Oh and the big pot is vegetarian so order meat separately.

Great place to stop for a nice Udon at lake Kawaguchi. Pick this one as it’s less crowded and no need to queue. We took a cab to get here. Udon is very fresh.

Lost in the flavors of Houtou, a local gem near Mount Fuji. Delightful udon and vibrant veggies blend in a heartwarming soup. 🍲 A feast for both taste buds and eyes, amidst a bustling restaurant where hardworking staff weave magic with each serving. 😄🍜
