Hakone, Kanagawa, Japan｜Chobi

If you are staying in Hakone, be sure to visit Chobi: great variety of dishes, the owner is very friendly, and the place is a clean and stylish izakaya. There is limited seating, but fortunately both nights we went there was enough space for the two of us! Shoutout to Chobi´s house design, which looks suspiciously like the owner and was even marked in the wooden construction of the bar.

The seating is limited, but the food and the vibes are unparalleled. Highly recommend if you can manage to get some seats, but be warned, you will be turned away if the establishment is full.

Very small cosy yakitori hidden at a corner of Hakone Yumoto. Food is very nice, must try the chicken ramen. Reservation preferred.
