Kowakudani, Hakone
Housed in a cozy, homey space in Kowakudani, HAKONE PICNIC offers a delightful break from traditional Japanese fare with its exceptionally rated, authentic Taiwanese comfort food. Run by a welcoming husband-and-wife team, it is famous for its rich lu rou fan (braised pork rice), savory beef noodle soup, and homemade dumplings. Expect a warm, unpretentious atmosphere that feels like dining in a local's living room.
It is a perfect, hearty lunch stop right near the Kowakudani switchback if you are riding the scenic Hakone Tozan Railway.
