Hakone Amasake Chaya Tea House

Steeped in over 400 years of history, this atmospheric thatched-roof tea house offers travelers a taste of Edo-period Japan along the historic Old Tokaido Road. It is famous for its unsweetened, non-alcoholic amasake (warm sweet sake) brewed using traditional methods, paired perfectly with chewy, charcoal-grilled mochi. Expect a rustic, fire-lit wooden interior and a peaceful outdoor seating area surrounded by dense forest.
