We spent our last evening in the area here and it was a perfect match! The restaurant has that Japanese atmosphere with a modern touch. Staff is very friendly and our host spoke very good English. We had the Hoto noodles (local specialty, broad Udon noodles) and tomato salad, both were very delicious! Drinks and prices in general are absolutely fair and modest. Our host was very attentive and made it a wonderful experience. Thank you! Gochisou sama deshita! Thank you for sharing your review with us.What a lovely review!We look forward to your next visit!arigatougozaimasu!!!

I stopped in for lunch one day based on other Trip Advisor reviews. Not normally something I would do--I didn't travel to Japan to eat American food but what an interesting place! Loads of memorabilia, signs and artefacts from days gone by. It is Japanese-style, take off your shoes and takes a seat on the cushions on the floor. Burgers are home-made as you order them--not pre-packed or pre-formed--beef / pork mixture. The food was good and the service friendly. If you're looking for a change from the usual Japanese fare, check out the Dino DinerYour compliments are the pillars of our support, and we aim to provide our customers with even higher levels of satisfaction.貴重なご意見、感謝しております。ありがとうございます!

Hoto Fudo, Kawaguchiko Ekimae

Reviewed By susantN8524LZ

We a family of 7 wanted to have an early lunch before making the trip to 5th Station of Mount Fuji. Spotted the restaurant across the station and went in- found a relatively packed restaurant, many customers left their luggage bags at the luggage holding place at the entrance. We had chanced upon a restaurant serving the local dish-Houtou noodles (flat and wide udon) in a tasty soup; this dish is only available in the Yamanashi prefecture. We had to sit at different table as there was not table for 7 of us. The 4 of us who sat together ordered 2 Houtou Noodles and 2 pork rice - that turned out sufficient for 6 people. The texture of the noodles was great and the soup was very tasty; the pork in the pork rice melts in the mouth. Great experience!

Kosaku Hoto Kosaku, Kawaguchiko

Reviewed By LOTRing

Firstly, this restaurant serves horse meat and bear meat. Yes you heard me right. So if you are an animal rights activists, skip this. We ordered both pumpkin and pork noodles. Stick with pumpkin vege noodle. Hoto noodles was a cross between Ban mee and hokkien mee...my Singapore/Malaysian counterparts will understand. Broth was rich but a little too salty for me. Add in their special chilli powder and the whole meal was quite potent...very nice.

Free parking space outside the restaurant but there are not many space available, perhaps only space for 3-4 cars. English menu is available, they are also vegan and Muslim friendly. Lots of information and they welcome customers to ask question if unsure. Good portion, great variety of tempura to choose from. You can get set menus or even a la carte. Spacious environment, good place to eat if you’re with a big group of friends or family.

Tetsuyaki

Reviewed By JordanianB

We are still highly confused by such high praise in reviews we read before eating here. We learned to take everything we read with a grain of salt. The staff are lovely however the food we ate (yakisoba and garlic chicken) were both so incredibly lacking in flavour that we thought perhaps our lunch burned our taste buds off. Not worth the money spent, especially since we have eaten at many fantastic izakaya before this throughout Japan.

Izakaya High Spirits

Izakaya High Spirits is a small sized Japanese restaurant that seats 6people at the counters and 12 people in the dining area, including traditional and innovative style of tapas. Our kitchen teams have a large repertoire of ethnic recipes and ingredients

Reviewed By David O

In the pretty town of Kawaguchiko under Mt Fuji, this izakaya is special little place with friendly staff, great food and drinks list. Ryan our server, who has escaped from California, was friendly and helpful. The Japanese owner was a sashimi wizard and the other dishes were really good too. Sadly it was closed last night, Monday, so we could only go there for one evening meal. I wish we had a place like this in Australia!

Just when we thought that things cannot get any better. We had already had the rare opportunity to view Mt Fuji in her full, "naked" splendour ( clear cloudless half hour at dawn this morning, after 2 days of almost zero visibility ). Then we decided to sign up for both the traditional hoto noodle cooking class as well as the tempura cooking class at Houto Labo. The 2 hour lesson became the new highlight of our visit to the Lake district.The facility is spotlessly clean, the host, Chef / Owner, Kato Shinichi, is warm, patient and professional.The lesson included making hoto noodles, unique to the region, from scratch with Kato demonstrating thoroughly the techniques for properly kneading the dough, cutting the dough into noodles, and making the broth to go with the noodles. We chose the traditional pumpkin broth ( seafood being he other option ), which was simple but satisfying.The same goes for preparing the tempura batter, getting the fryer oil to proper temperature, coating and frying the vegetables and prawns. All the ingredients provided was fresh and of high quality.The best part, at the end of the lesson, was sitting down for a meal to enjoy the finished product.On this day, we were fortunate enough that Kato and his lovely staff had some time between lessons to join us for the meal and to chat about life in general. We took advantage of their warm hospitality to while away an hour or so of the afternoon. At that moment, we were not just students, we were a part of their extended family.And if that didn't make us love them enough, Kato even drove us back to our hotel on the opposite side of the lake when our visit was over.Please, if you happen to be in the Lake Kawaguchiko area, sign up for a lesson. We are very glad we did because now, I feel totally confident about making my own noodles and tempura at home.Highly Recommend.
