Great factory outlet if you are into mochi. Tour is free and pretty fast, don’t come on a Sunday if you are looking for action in the tour. Most of the line is close. But if you are on the way to the north and don’t mind buying mochi. Can stop by There are two gift shops. When facing the main building at the entrance, The. Left side is close to expiry items and less frills but also cheaper. Right side are more for gifts to others, longer expiry Note that most items expire within a week so best to check Also lots of locals visit, it’s a factory outlet after all

Fun experience, get to see the whole process and a great shop at the end. Would recommend planning in advance and coming early before the tourist buses hit, as it can get very busy. Got my self the Yuru Camp Nadeshiko set, super tasty and super cute.

Having a free tour of what is going inside their factory is a fun learning experience, but if you are not a fan of those things, I wouldn't recommend going because it would be boring😊the matcha ice with shingen mochi is a must try, yummy 😋

Great free self guided tour of a real factory that makes mochi. Just wander around at your own pace and view the workers making mochi! At the end of the tour you can get the famous mochi ice cream! The place was packed on a Tuesday with tour buses

Watch the man power required to wrap each shingen mochi! I love the shingen mochi from here, so I wanted to come visit this factory. It is very cool to just watch these skilled individuals wrap each mochi under 6 seconds. They have a store beside the factory that you wouldn’t want to miss! They sell a lot of different sweats and snacks for cheap. If you want to get cheap shingen mochi you better be ready to line up before the store opens. I was the first person in line and was there an hour before opening. The group 10 person back(throwing up numbers here but isn’t that far off) couldn’t get any by the time they came in. One per person but people come in groups, so be there early. They have other deals so not to worry but if you want cheap shingen mochi you better come early. They also have an “all you can stuff into a bag” event for 220 yen??? However you have to really get their early for this and get a number. Once your number is called you can participate.

A factory of a Yamanashi’s famous Shingen Mochi snack. Shingen mochi is a popular mochi snack in Yamanashi. This is the factory that makes all the product and you can see it’s been packaged by human one by one with super fast tie. The factory also has an outlet store and cafe.

Interesting experience! Good to bring your kids for some sightseeing.

Gorgeous location, great prices (only 900 yen or $6 for a bath), and tattoo friendly, which was the main reason I picked this location. I stayed at the nearby Fruit Park Fujiya hotel and hiked about 35 minutes up to the Onsen. Very rural feel. I wish there’d been less fog for a better view of Fuji, but maybe next time.

This was an incredible experience, the view from the baths was gorgeous mountaintops. I highly recommend going for sunrise as it was cooler so you could enjoy the heat of the baths more (we arrived at 5:15am and there were already around 100 people in line). Everyone was really accepting although no one seemed to speak english so you had to figure most things out for yourself. Lockers were available for valuables whilst in the onsen, and we were allowed in with tattoos. No public transport available to the onsen, would be a hard walk on the side of a road up a mountain, taxi/car recommended. Definitely go if you are in the area!

The onsen was pretty clean, affordable, and has outdoor area, but very basic. They dont have sauna/steam or other recreational features, only hot pools (1 indoor and some outdoors). The outdoor area is quite big and has many hidden corner for someone who doesn’t really comfortable being naked in front of others. The water was not too chlorinated and was okay for my skin and hair to get soaked in long period. I went there during night & end of winter, so got only city view and the hot spring was just perfect for the winter cold. They provided towel (for extra charges) and basic shampoo & shower gel. It’s recommended if you want to try traditional Japanese onsen.

One of the best hot spring place to see Mt. Fuji

A hot spring adjacent to Fruit Line and Fuefukigawa Park. Select "Over there" or "Here" to enter. You cannot enter both for the same bath fee. Perfect for washing off your sweat at the park or riding a go-kart. It's best when you sprinkle salt on fried eggs and eat them with a bottle of milk.

Nice natural hot spring “Onsen”. Genders are separated and you got to be completely naked. Price is reasonable too at 800 yen entry and 1000 yen for a towel. Taxi from Ishiawa train station is about 4000 yen for one way. Tattoos seemed to be ok too. Went in with a big dragon tattoo and no one complained. Also, I saw one Japanese man with a large koi fish tattoo on his leg. Food options are available. Great view of Mt Fuji. Apparently amazing for sunrise. Shower before going into the water, not when you get out.

A very unusual experience to go to a public onsen high up in the mountain on a cool night with an amazing view of the city!

Nice park where you can enjoy the scenario from the hill to the city. There is fish catching activity, and you can grill the fish after catching. It’s fun for kids.

Beautiful place! There are all kind of fruit trees here. You can see how the gorgeous fruits are growing beautifully. Remember to be respectful and don’t pick the fruit! They have plenty of places around the area where you can buy all kinds of fruits. Also there are lots of areas where kids can play! There is the outdoor playground, aqua park, indoor playground in the dome, underground museum with interactive activities, and more. There are couple options for lunch time, fish grilling at the aqua park area, that’s seasonal. Bbq, restaurant, snacks, and the delicious seasonal parfait. I got to try the muscat one and it was amazing! Come early to enjoy as much as you can! Have lunch in the area, get some souvenirs and delicious treats and at the end enjoy at their onsen! A perfect day!

Fuefukigawa is an excellent scenic spot. Many spacious parking lots, attractive views. Spend pleasant moments with your family, children, friends, and loved ones. Make memories of happy moments, but renew love in the best atmosphere. Refresh your mood with your favorite snacks, meals, barbeque, ice cream and soft drinks. A beautiful antique railway train is waiting for you to take you around the park. Water Park is a very enjoyable place for children. Where children fulfill their wishes. And with it the freshest fruits from the orchards are eager to accompany you. However, no matter how much we talk about the charm of this park, it is less.

A huge facility. We could not explore everywhere as my kids were only interested in the water area. This was the highlight of our trip. The kids enjoyed playing in the water. Bring swimsuit and all the gears. the kids will enjoy it.

Amazing place with beautiful views, with lots of fruits. Huge place with play areas for kids, lots of stores around to buy the fruits. Can spend and entire day with a bunch activities to do. By dusk the place looks very different with the breathtaking views it offers.

Awesome place to spend the day. Non car access: bus from Yamanashi-shi. (I used electric bike along Fruits Line road from Isawa. Would recommend.) Space for kids, dog run, great views, an underground fruit archaeology museum, restaurants, shops, this place has something for everyone.

Super pretty, and I've heard the ice cream is great as well!! Featured in the hit anime and manga Yuru Camp! A must visit if you're a fan or near the area!!

Kai Zenkoji Temple was underwhelming. While the temple itself is decent, it lacks the charm and care that I expected. The surrounding area felt somewhat uninspired, and there wasn’t much information provided about the temple's history or significance. It didn't have the peaceful atmosphere I was hoping for, making the visit feel a bit lackluster. Overall, it’s not worth going out of your way to see.

A historic temple very worthwhile stopping by if you're in Kofu. The grounds are not huge, but the main hall is impressive and attractively weathered. There's a 'hell' you can go through feeling for a lock in the pitch black basement -- more fun than it sounds! Also take time to go off to the right of the main hall and there is a collection of interesting statues of Buddhist deities particular to the Yamanashi area.

Peaceful and ancient temple

I want to visit inside for the Dragon's hall, but they didn't allow me to be there. Not sure why. I visit here on mid of october

You should not shy off from paying small admission fee to get inside the main building. Many interesting architectural mysteries await you.

Very grand temple with nice artifacts to see for a small fee. There is also a spot where you stand and clap your hands to hear a very nice acoustic effect. In the back there are stairs leading to a very dark area. Try it if you are brave enough.

One Of the Old Japanese temple in Yamanashi. Admission fee:Adult 500 yen,Elementary school student 250 yen,Group discount over 30 people. Open Period 8 AM - 5 PM Worship Reception time 9 AM - 4:30 PM

Good HOTO noodle and local meats and vegetables. Few parking places and also 2nd building for large size parties

Taste the local Yamanachi food

I love Houtou noodles especially after visiting the onsen (hot spring). This is a few miles down the road from the onsen, so you can hit two birds with one stone. The place has parking but not many so make sure you can park. The staff are super attentive and quick to clean the tables AND plexiglass for you. They take cleaning seriously. The menu selection is great and they have English menu available as well. The portions are huge and when it comes time to payment, they accept credit cards as well.

Clean, large menu with options for picky kids, plenty of car parking an conveniently located to other sites and fruit eating activities

Large amazing portions of pure goodness.

The Houtou noodles are delicious and the place is clean!

Great food. Highly recommended.

Excellent food

(Translated by Google) I visited for the first time in a year, and I was impressed by the high quality of the food, atmosphere, and customer service. The food was delicious and you could tell that a lot of effort had been put into each dish. There are two things I would like to see improved in the future. ・Among the people who bring the food, there are people who don't give explanations. Therefore, education that thoroughly explains need. ・We were the last customers for lunch and had not yet left. The clerk is cleaning the toilet despite the fact that It's better to stop showing your face. When I tried to use the restroom when leaving the store, the store staff I was surprised that he was cleaning it himself. (Original) 1年ぶりに訪れましたが、クオリティーの高い料理の内容、雰囲気、接客を受けました。料理は一品一品にとても手がこんでいるのが分かる内容で美味しく頂きました。 今後、改善して頂きたい事は2点。 ・料理を運んでくる人の内、説明をしない人が いたので、説明することを徹底させる教育が 必要。 ・自分達がランチの最後の客でまだ退店してな いのにも関わらずトイレ掃除を店員がしてる 姿を見せるのは止めた方が良い。 退店時にトイレを利用しようとしたら、店員 自ら掃除をしてたのは驚いた。

(Translated by Google) I visited Sadoya Winery on a trip. It's a winery and offers tasting tours, but reservations are required. I made a reservation for the restaurant, but it was nearly full. It was a weekday, but it was as expected. The room I was shown to first had a luxurious entrance, perhaps designed to allow for a more immersive experience. Then, when it was time, I was seated at my table. From my window seat, I could see the beautiful garden. The food I had: Petit Course Lunch Petit Course 4,400 yen (Including service charge and tax) ■ Half-course meal consisting of four dishes: hors d'oeuvre, soup, fish or meat dish, and dessert Seasonal hors d'oeuvre Soup One item from the Choice Menu Please choose your favorite from the "Choice Menu." Bread Dessert Coffee or Tea I had the fish. Both the sparkling wine and wine were delicious. The food was not only beautiful to look at, but the soup and fish dishes in particular had a great balance of saltiness. Personally, I was impressed not only by the taste, but also by the space, hospitality, and luxurious interior, which made it feel even more special. If you're looking to enhance your trip with a luxurious, relaxed atmosphere, this is definitely a place you'll want to visit. There's also a winery right next door. There's a shop where you can sample and purchase wines. Reservations are required for the tasting tour. This is a popular restaurant. The staff at this shop were a bit overbearing, which I didn't really like. I guess that's the challenge of running a successful restaurant. The restaurant was fantastic! I'll visit again. Thank you for the meal!

(Translated by Google) A 5-minute walk from the north exit of Kofu Station, this is a wonderful restaurant inside SADOYA Chateau de Provence, a resort space inspired by a chateau in the Provence region of southern France. This time, I enjoyed the lunch course of Koshu wine beef steak (with Real d'Or's traditional Sadoya red wine sauce). The courses are ①hors d'oeuvres, ②soup, ③main, ④bread, ⑤dessert, and ⑥coffee. Of course, you can enjoy wine from SADOYA Winery and other wines from Yamanashi Prefecture. The main course, Koshu wine beef steak, was extremely tender and had an exquisite taste. I was also impressed by the seasoning of the cauliflower soup, which you can't find anywhere else. The wine is Chateaubriant White In 2017, I ordered Chateaubriant Mule White, but I was interested in the taste, which was different from the strong Chardronay. If I had the chance, I would like to enjoy dinner again. (Original) 甲府駅北口より徒歩５分、南仏プロヴァンス地方のシャトーをイメージしたリゾート空間「SADOYA シャトー・ド・プロヴァンス」内の素敵なレストランです。今回は甲州ワインビーフ ステーキ（レアルドール伝統のサドヤ赤ワインソース）のランチコースを楽しみました。コースは①オードブル、②スープ、③メイン、④パン、⑤デザート、⑥コーヒーになります。無論、SADOYAワイナリーのワインやその他山梨県のワインを楽しむことが出来ます。メインの甲州ワインビーフステーキはお肉が非常に柔らかく絶品の味わいでした。その他カリフラワーのスープを他では味わうことが出来ない味付けにも感服しました。ワインはシャトーブリヤン白 2017年、シャトーブリヤン ミュール白をオーダーしましたが、ガツンとくるシャドルネとはまた異なる味わいに関心しました。また機会が有れば、ディナーを楽しみたいと感じました。

(Translated by Google) We had a course meal for lunch. I felt that everything was prepared with the customer in mind. The meat was tender and juicy. It was delicious. The staff was attentive. The food was served at a good time without making us wait. We ordered four types of wine to go with the food. It was perfect. (Original) ランチでコース料理。全てお客の事を考えて作ってくれていると感じました。肉も柔らかジューシー。美味しかった。スタッフも気配りがあります。料理も待たせず良いタイミングで提供されます。料理に合わせたワイン4種でオーダー。完璧でした。

(Translated by Google) We have our own wines at surprisingly reasonable prices, and you can enjoy authentic French cuisine. I think it's perfect for anniversaries as it has a luxurious atmosphere ☺️ Koshu wine beef steak is always available at lunchtime, and I think it's a good option when you want to splurge. If you want to enjoy wine with your meal, we recommend coming by public transportation rather than by car.

We had to wait for more than one hour to have our table. But even in waiting, people keep on coming. The food was good. They served the popular Houtou dish of Yamanashi-Shizuoka(?) They served different kinds of Houtou. We tried the pork. It taste good 👍🏼

We waited a long time 50 mins for the food. The houtou itself is very starchy, so don't get the suiton because that's even starchier 😰 They were very generous with ingredients. Service was pleasant.

If you are not a big eater, the serving is good for two. I enjoyed the taste of their kabucha (pumpkin) hotou. If you are not a fan of udon, they also have soba and tendons😊

Wanted to try the local Hoto noodles and this place didn’t disappoint! The staff was very friendly and they had an English menu for us which was really nice. Would definitely recommend if you’re staying in the area.

Unique food called Hōtō where you can only find in this Yamanashi area. We had to wait for 10 minutes since the restaurant was packed. Hōtō is like a flat udon with miso soup, plus a LOT of vegetables. It's very warming. Feel especially good in a cold or rainy days. Great atmosphere, you have to sit on the tatami though so prepared yourselves if you're not used to sitting with crossed legs. They have English menu for foreigners too. You just raise your hand up when you want to call the staffs, they'll come for you.

They don’t take reservations so expect to wait! We waited about 50 minutes for our table for 7. There were so many people waiting, we actually weren’t allowed to all wait inside despite the rain outside. I wouldn’t say the service was necessarily that attentive. They were just so busy! But also they weren’t rude, so it was fine. We ordered 7 different varieties, and actually all of them were good. No complaints from anyone. In fact, I loved that it came in the stone pot so that my food stayed hot until the end. The hoto noodles were interesting (in a good way), and the toppings were plentiful. By the end, we were all rolling out of the restaurants like balls cause we were just so full!

We had a brief stop at Koshu Hoto Kosaku while visiting Fuji 🗻. Me and my friend ordered the spicy beef kalbi Hoto and duck dish. Both were great. I liked the spicy beef one as it was more flavorful. 🍜 Service was great, they got us English menu and followed up on any requests.

Shrimp & vegetable curry was really good as well as the other dishes. The lunch set comes with a drink of choice (free refill), a dessert of your choice, an appetizer and a main. Everything tasted really good and you’ll get a lot for around ¥1800. Friendly staff, spacious, clean, plenty of parking and just had a great lunch. Will definitely go again if ever again in the area.

A fantastic reminder of the US, with the superb customer service of Japan. This Red Lobster does not disappoint with products, service, or quality. Absolutely loved the lobster claws, but it was the cioppino that took the spotlight. Rustic tomato pepper broth, delicious tender seafood, and a lovely old bay like spice. Wonderful with bread. Solid clam chowder, and great sized clams. Combo plate was great! Not a big fine of mayo or cheese on lobster, but it came with the plate. Fantastic paella, and a really good scallop. Dessert was a cheesecake creme brulee with mix berry coulis. Good tack, and rich custard. The coulis paired well, and left a refreshing finish. I will be back, if not for the nostalgia but the wonderful food.

food is good but in my opinion they are a bit overpriced

Parking Lot is wide. The vibe inside the restaurant is kinda vintage. Its kind a warm and comfy. There's also a background music which is pop music.(i'd prefer some jazz/lounge music tho to match the comfy vibe 😅). Well, for the food its good but not as i expected. We ordered tower onion rings which i rate 5/5 unlike other onion rings, red lobsters onion ring has a crunchy texture outside and soft in the inside(other has too much coat and become soggy when cold) also there is mustard and catsup which is separated(so sweet,they think of customers who dont like mustard that much) 🙂. Next is the mussel /oyster with some fresh veggies on top, this would be my favorite in all we ordered,i'll rate it 5/5. I'm not fond of mussels but this food change my taste 😂 the salty sour veggies give accent to the mussels that will make you crave more while eating it. I would totally reccomend this one!next! Next is the lobster claw. I don't know. But in my opinion this one would be the last on my list. I would rate it 1/5. The texture of the claw was to rubbery and hard. I also dont understand why theres a ketchup/ catsup there😅😅 i really wanted to try lobster in a restaurant cause the last time we cooked a lobster its has the same texture and i thought maybe when restaurant would cook it, it would be taste much better. But now i know 😂🤣 Next is the paella. I'll rate 3/5. It taste good, good plating, lot of toppings but as i eat the taste gets boring.. Next the cheesy lobster and steak. I will rate it 3/5 not satisfied with the taste.. i think there's something missing. The baked lobster and cheese taste good, the steak kind a little bit hard sauce lack of saltiness to my taste. Maybe the combination of steak and lobster doesn't suit thats why i can't be satisfied. Next, the big steak. It was medium rare, tasty but lack of juiciness. Also its too fast to cooldown.i ate 1/4 of it and the steak is already cold. Maybe if this steak has warmer this would be very satisfying. I'll rate this 4/5. Garlic bread. 3/5. Same as the pan i bought anywhere. Too expensive for a bread that doesn't have any special feature. Garlic rice i will rate it 5/5. This garlic rice isn't just a garlic rice. I would prefer to call it a bacon pilaf. Compared to the normal garlic rice(which is white rice, fried garlic,salt,butter) this one is unique. Just order it so you will find out what i'm saying.

It's a Red Lobster, nothing really special there

Nice

I miss the old taste like 15 years ago

I visited by bicycle. Since there wasn't a designated bike parking area, a security guard kindly directed me to a place where I could park. The road to Takeda Shrine has a steady uphill slope. The shrine grounds are very well-maintained, making for a pleasant walk.

Interesting historic site a lovely 3km walk from the Kofu JR station. Small and well-kept but nothing spectacular. There is a museum just 100m away from the shrine which can be visited for free for the regular exhibits. Do visit if you have the time but may not worth coming here especially for the shrine.

Takeda Shrine is a compelling mix of spiritual serenity, historical intrigue, and cultural heritage, offering a unique glimpse into the life of one of Japan's greatest samurai.

During my early college years, I had to do a report on Takeda Shingen. Years later on this day, I had the honor of visiting a shrine dedicated to him. The shrine has an array of Shingen theme charms and you can even purchase a small scale size of his banner. Unfortunately the Shingen museum was closed due some renovations, but artifacts site was open and there were plenty of historic displays including katanas, kabutos, scrolls, and banner used in battle.

Must visit here if you come to kofu. A city full of takeda seal (The red diagonal diamond). From the station you need to either walk 2.1km up a slop or take a bus @190yen per person just outside the station. Not to worry the bus can exchange big note to small change. When enter the bus (every half hour) take the ticket from the back gate. Before reaching the shine press the bell. The bus driver will stop and see you pay the bus fee . Very convenient.

The whole area is full of historical spots to see, and this one is a rich and well-maintained jewel. Any time of the day, it’s beautiful and lush to see. There is a noh stage in addition to the usual hostels. If you’re into samurai, it’s a must-visit.

We arrived late in the afternoon and had a wonderful experience..there were no other people about except a lonely turtle..

Nice shopping area but it's nothing much. Most impressive here for me is hanasaku coffee.

The soft cream is very good. Matcha one tasted even better than the one in Kanazawa.

There are a lot of gems and stones here but the price is quite pricey. I rather support the gem market opened at Kofu station. They're cheaper but the quality is a bit lower

Nice little shops and restaurants. So close to the station and convenient.

Really nothing special here and almost everything closes early.

Delightful place

Nothing much interesting around. Convenient, just beside the train station.

small but a lot of things to try and experience，there s a big playground outside

The Science Museum covers many different topics, and the workers are wonderful with children. The overlook is an excellent place to view Kofu and Mount Fuji.

Excellent for kids at a young age. Quite a few of interesting activities indoors which are fun and educational. You can check the website to find out the dates and time the planetarium open for visiting. There is also a large outdoor playground suitable for kids at all ages. There is a sign showing that you can walk to Kofu JR station but the fallen leaves covered the track and became quite slippery if unprepared.

The kids have fun, but it’s really a shame that so many of the attractions are so old and outdated or broken. There are a bunch of fun looking spots shut down to the kids as well. Please update all the attractions!!! Please open up all the climbing areas!!

Great place to take kids. They have an incredible park outside with an obstacle course that goes all the way up the hill. Go to the very top to try out two zip lines.

Visited on 26th March. Better know quite some Japanese, since they don’t provide other language version. The planetarium is very interesting. The most astonishing thing is the observation point. The whole city is almost viewable if the weather good.

What a great museum for a few hundred yen! Very interactive and the kids loved the adjacent outdoor play area, highly recommend

The cable car ride that goes up to the mountain. Its 1500円 for an adult and well worth the journey. The views are amazing up there and there is a lot to see. Before going up the mountain in the cable, remember to wear good hiking and trail shoes because it isn't a normal walk on a man-made surface, it literally is a serious dirt and rock trail that can be dangerous if your ignorant. Its not advanced, just be prepared is all I say, if you want the best pictures and videos of the mountians and Mt. Fuji. Highly recommended visit for sure!

I loved the additional paths to explore after using the Gondola! The hike up to the Gondola was beautiful. I definitely recommend. Although the ticket price has gone up since when I first researched it. The round trip ticket price is now ¥1,500. Still worth it in my opinion.

Ropeway up is short, just 5mins. The view is quite nice but will be best in autumn to see the colours of change. The street at the base are full of gems stone shops, if you are a collector, can choice some. A nice museum to visit there also. The Mitake Shosenkyo gorge is the key attraction, I will compare to Taiwan Takoro, if you have time, should hike along the path to the other end. Waterfall is nice. There a very interesting noodle shop just beside the big carpark, mimic the water flow noodles but in a special water feature on the table with the water constantly in move and change thru pipes below, it fresh from the river.

Just the size good for a day trip! We went to enjoy autumn leaves. The original schedule says every 20min running but it runs every 5min for high season. You will enjoy a nice view on the way and there are some easy walking place on the summit.

The gondola/mountain lift/ cable car is having limited capacity of ~30 folks and every twenty minutes - it’s a nice place to visit and glimpse view Fuji-San and do small treks on the top…. The golden koi fish pond in the starting station and the restaurant with soft serve on the top are nice

20191228, 2pm Really nice view of Fuji-san. The trek up to the view spot (panoramic pic posted here) was a nice small trek but be careful as there are no rails or side guards on the trail. Small kids and elderly who don’t have good balance could be a risk. Parking was very convenient and even if the parking lot is full, drive a bit more to see another parking lot on the left (saw this while walking to the waterfall). When you arrive, be cautious as the cable car sways back and forth. Not a big issue but it is something to notice when exiting the car. Even on a cold day, we enjoyed the (blueberry?) soft ice cream while waiting for the cable car back down. Very tasty!

A little too packed on the weekend, especially with the Coronavirus going around. But otherwise gives you a great view and if it's a clear day you can see Mt. Fuji. Definitely recommend for the autumn leaves too.

(Translated by Google) For some reason, there's a ramen shop in a tourist-oriented retro town, and for some reason it's delicious. It is located on the second floor of a retro-style commercial facility called Koshu Yumekoji near Koshu Station. It reminds me of the cul-de-sac at Zenkoji Temple in Nagano, but ramen here? I felt doubtful. To be honest, I went in because I couldn't eat hoto. The interior is homey and the menu is the same. I think it would be better to change the menu because there are too many characters, and the ordering method is too homey, and it lowers expectations and is a bit troublesome. I thought so too. When I ordered the meat soba as the main course, I was surprised at how delicious it was. It's easy to understand that it's a double soup, and although it has a nostalgic, light-hearted flavor, it's beautifully deep. Although it's easy to eat, it's not monotonous, and the ingredients are carefully selected. The char siu is authentic ``Shina Soba'', including the red char siu style found in Chinese cuisine. It's quite difficult to keep things this exact, and there aren't many of them, even in Tokyo. The quality of this retro soy sauce ramen is extremely high. The gyoza was standard, and my companion had chilled ramen, but it was unusual because it contained seafood powder. Another thing I would like to point out is that the special table spices that contain seafood powder are seasoned with good flavor and are delicious. Please try it. It's a bit of a mystery that it's located in a tourist spot, despite its retro and homely feel, but it's a mysterious shop with a high level of perfection that makes you even more surprised. (Original) 観光向けなレトロ街に何故かあるラーメン屋、そして何故か美味い。 立地は甲州駅近く甲州夢小路というレトロ風商業施設の2階にある。 長野善光寺の袋小路を思い出すが、ここでラーメン？と疑問には感じた。正直に話せばほうとうが食べられなかったので入った。 内装もアットホーム系でメニューも同じく。 メニューの作りが文字多すぎマンだったり注文方式がコチラが書き込むのはアットホームすぎ、期待感が異様に下がるというかちょい面倒なので変えた方が良いのでは？とも思った。 そしてメインな様子の肉そばを頼むと、これが予想外に美味しく驚かされた。 ダブルスープなのがわかりやすく、中平ちぢれという懐かしあっさり風だが綺麗に奥深い。 スルスル食べれる割に単調でなく、具材も丁寧だ。 チャーシューが中華にある赤いチャーシュースタイルなのも含めて本格的「しなそば」である。こうもきっちりしているのは結構難しいハズで、東京でも多く無い。レトロ醤油ラーメンとして完成度がとにかく高いのだ。 餃子はスタンダードな出来、連れが冷やしラーメンだったが魚介粉入りで変わり種だった。 もう一つ特筆したいのが魚介粉入りの卓上特製スパイスがいい塩梅で美味い。是非試してみて欲しい。 総じてレトロとアットホームなのに観光地風な場所にあるのが謎すぎるが、完成度が高くてよりびっくりさせられる不思議なお店だ。

(Translated by Google) I visited on a Saturday afternoon. The restaurant is located inside Koshu Yumekoji, so it was crowded with tourists, but I was able to enter the restaurant without waiting. I was attracted by the QR code ordering system and the words "Tokueiken's recommended!", so I chose the Shina Soba and Char Siu Rice Bowl. The soup was "special" and well made, and it was delicious as it mixed well with the flat noodles. The char siu was chewy and not my favorite, but it was still good. The bowl had a lot of char siu on it, so it was filling. I'll come again. (Original) 土曜日の昼間に訪問。甲州夢小路内にあるので観光客で周りは賑わっていましたが、お店には待つことなく入店できました。QRコードで注文するシステムで、徳栄軒の一押し！の文字に惹かれ、しなそばとチャーシュー丼をチョイス。スープは゛特製゛だけあって良い仕事してるなぁといった感じで、平打ち麺によく絡んで美味しかったです。チャーシューは歯ごたえのあるタイプで私の好みではなかったけど、これはこれで有りですね。丼はチャーシューが沢山載っていて、食べ応えがありました。また伺います。

(Translated by Google) I tried Shina Soba, 3 gyoza, and pork offal bowl. I was full for a total of 1,560 yen...Shina soba had flat noodles.It seems like they can make thin noodles, so that might be better.The soup is not too strong, so it's easy to drink.It was delicious♪Next is miso I want to try ramen! (Original) しなそば　餃子3ヶ　豚モツ丼を食べてみました 計1,560円でお腹いっぱいになりました・・しなそばは麺が平麺でした　細麺にできるようなのでそちらの方がいいかも　スープはしつこくないので飲みやすいです　　美味しく頂きました♪ 次は味噌ラーメンを食べてみたいです！

(Translated by Google) I went there for lunch. It's located on the second floor of Koshu Yumekoji. The restaurant is beautiful, and the part-time worker there seems to be a kind person, which makes a good impression. This time I had the meat soba. The soup had a gentle flavor with the aroma of shiitake mushrooms, and the pork slices were large and satisfying. It was very delicious, so I recommend it. (Original) お昼ご飯で伺いました。 甲州夢小路の2階に位置しています。 綺麗な店内で、バイトの男の子も優しそうな子で好印象です。 今回、肉そばを頂きました。 スープは、椎茸も香る優しい味で、チャーシューも大きくて食べ応えがありました。 とても美味しかったので、オススメします。

(Translated by Google) First visit, August 2025 For lunch yesterday, I went to Tokueiken near Kofu Station. It was my first visit. I scanned the QR code to order. The Japanese-style dashi tsukemen, medium size. The noodles were smooth and slurp-able with a mild dashi dipping sauce. Delicious, delicious. The char siu was also soft and delicious! I added some vinegar from the table towards the end. It was delicious again.

(Translated by Google) I had the meat soba. I thought it was delicious. The price was pretty reasonable, and if you like classic soy sauce ramen, I think it would be good. I've been to Kitakata and Sano and eaten there a lot, so I have a good impression of it. (Original) 肉蕎麦食べました。 美味しいと思います。 値段も割と普通だし、オーソドックスな醤油ラーメン好きならいいんじゃないかと思います。 自分は喜多方、佐野、と食べ歩くのでいい印象。

(Translated by Google) It was a hot day, so I was attracted by the sign for chilled dashi ramen and came in. The Japanese-style dashi was effective and delicious. (Original) 暑い日だったので、冷やしだしラーメンの看板に惹かれて来店しました。 和風出しが効いてて、美味しかったです。

They never show me how to enjoy this flowing noodle I have to figure it out anyway a special experience and may try this noodle again in other place

Really nice food and good prices. They have English menu, that’s a plus considering you are not in Tokyo anymore lol! Really good experience! Very Japanese tradicional.

Food was good. Reasonably priced. Somen noodles from the bamboo shoot/granite table are an experience.

A reasonably priced location to experience the exciting Japanese tradition of Nagashi Soumen. Definitely check this out if you are in the area

Nice.

Excellent

Delicious and entertaining

(Translated by Google) If your friends in Kofu want yakiniku, this is the place! He took me there. The Tsubo Kalbi was so delicious! (Original) 甲府の友だちが焼き肉ならここ！って連れ行ってくれた。 壺カルビがサイコーにうまかった！

(Translated by Google) I like the seasoning here the most. Among them, the cubed steak (skirt steak) is exquisite. The juicy meat juices overflow, and the more you chew, the more flavor you get. Of course, the skirt steak sauce is also delicious. The sauce is exquisite and brings out the flavor of the meat even more. We also recommend the ``Bokuri Salad,'' which bears the store's name. The natural flavor of the dressing goes well with the crunchy lettuce. I forgot to take a photo, but the Baechu Kimchi and Oi Kimchi were so fresh that I couldn't stop eating them with chopsticks. Today's ``Bokuri Kalbi'' felt a little too greasy, but the standard short ribs had just the right amount of marbling, sweetness, and were very delicious. Also, the salt hormone (Shimachō) and Mino (Miso) are also good seasonings. And always end with Kalbi kouppa. The flavor of the shiitake mushrooms combined with the soup that has a strong flavor of beef makes it so delicious that you will want to eat it again and again (I forgot to take a photo). It was delicious. Thank you for the meal. (Original) ここの味付けが一番好きです。 中でも角切りステーキ（ハラミ）は絶品。ジューシーな肉汁があふれ出て噛むほどに旨味が広がります。ハラミのタレももちろん旨い。タレが絶妙で肉の旨さをさらに引き立てくれます。店名を冠した「ぼくりサラダ」もおすすめ。シャキシャキのレタスに自然な味わいのドレッシングがよく合います。写真を撮り忘れましたがペチュキムチとオイキムチも新鮮で箸が止まりません。この日の「ぼくりカルビ」は少し脂が強めに感じましたが定番のカルビの方が適度なサシで甘みがあり、とても美味しかったです。あと、塩ホルモン(シマチョウ)とミノ(ミソ)もいい味付け。そして〆はいつもカルビクッパ。牛の旨味がしっかり溶け出したスープに椎茸の風味が合わさって何杯でも食べたくなる味です(写真撮り忘れ)。 美味しかったです。 ごちそうさまでした。

(Translated by Google) I arrived early, but the restaurant was packed with customers, so I'm glad I made a reservation. The meat was delicious, but the soup was amazing, something I'd never tried before. If I could be greedy, I'd like a sunken kotatsu table in the tatami room, which is gentler on the feet. (Original) 早めにお邪魔したけど、ドンドン来店があり、予約して良かった。お肉も美味しかったけど、スープが初めての味わい、素晴らしい。欲を言えば、座敷は掘りごたつなら、足に優しい。

(Translated by Google) We had the winter kaiseki course "Fugu" x "Crab" battle. Great food, customer service, and atmosphere! I especially liked the first scene where they showed us the crabs used in the dish. All the dishes are delicious, not only the fried chicken and chawanmushi, but also the Shuto ice cream that comes with the sashimi is exquisite! Additionally, the sake pairings (Kuzuryu, etc.) were excellent and went well with the food. The inside of the store has a calm atmosphere, and there is a counter and private rooms, so it can be used for various occasions. Another great thing about this store is that it supports cashless payment, making it convenient. I'm not only interested in this course, but also other courses and seasonal dishes, so it was a wonderful restaurant that I would definitely like to visit again! (Original) 冬の会席コース「ふぐ」×「かに」合戦をいただきました。料理、接客、雰囲気ともに最高！特に最初に料理に使う蟹を見せてくれる演出が粋でした。 料理はどれも美味しく、唐揚げや茶碗蒸しはもちろん、刺身に添えられた酒盗アイスクリームは絶品！さらに、日本酒のおまかせペアリング（九頭龍など）も素晴らしく、料理との相性が抜群でした。 店内は落ち着いた雰囲気で、カウンターや個室もあり、様々なシーンで利用できそうです。支払いもキャッシュレス払い対応で便利なのも嬉しいポイント。 今回のコースだけでなく、他のコースや季節の料理も気になるので、ぜひまた訪れたいと思える素晴らしいお店でした！

(Translated by Google) A restaurant I would like to visit again🥰 All the dishes were impressively delicious. I really liked the sake that went well with the food. (Original) またリピートしたいお店🥰 全てのお料理が感動的に美味しかったです。 お酒もお料理に合わせてくれて　めちゃくちゃ気に入りました♪

(Translated by Google) I had a ¥3800 course for lunch. All the dishes were delicious, using local ingredients from the prefecture, seasonal ingredients, and ingredients not often used in Japanese cuisine. They have a wide selection of alcoholic beverages and I was spoiled for choice on the menu. The southern tuna that came out as sashimi was obviously not very good even to an untrained eye, and if I were the person working at the restaurant, I might have hesitated to serve it, but it was all in a nice bowl. It was a shame that it was provided with something missing. (Original) お昼に¥3800のコースを頂きました。 県内食材や旬のもの、和食ではあまり使わない食材をアレンジしたお料理はどれも美味しかったです。 アルコール類の品揃えが豊富でメニューに食い入ってしまいました。 お造りで出てきた南鮪は素人目に見ても明らか色が悪く、私が店舗側の人間だったら提供を躊躇したかもしれないと感じた点、どれも素敵な器だったのですが欠けているもので提供されたのが残念な点でした。

(Translated by Google) Shuto ice cream and sake go best together. The first truffle sesame tofu was also delicious. (Original) 酒盗アイスクリームと日本酒が一番合う。最初のトリュフの胡麻豆腐も美味しかった。

(Translated by Google) I made a reservation by taking advantage of the invitation weather. I always come to this area, but this store was unmarked. In conclusion, everything was delicious. I had a non-alcoholic drink called Izayoi with slightly carbonated ginger ale and bitter grapefruit. My wife ordered China Mosco, a non-alcoholic drink with ginger, pickled honey, and fresh lime. I expected a few hits, but the drinks, food, and service were all top notch. I didn't have any alcoholic drinks due to plans for later, but I'm sure all the dishes are irresistible for alcoholic lovers. I will explain each with photos. The only problem is that the woman who serves the meal wears a harsh perfume. After all, if it comes from a restaurant, just the smell of the food is enough, and everything else should be cut out. (Original) 招待日和を利用し予約しました。 いつもこの辺に来ていますが、このお店はノーマークでした。 結論から言うと、全て美味しかったです。 私は十六夜という微炭酸ジンジャーエールと苦めのグレープフルーツのノンアルコールドリンク。 嫁はチャイナモスコという生姜と蜂蜜漬けと生ライムのノンアルコールドリンクを注文。 いくつか当たりがあればと思っていきましたが、飲み物食べ物サービス全て最上級でした。 その後の予定がありお酒はいただきませんでしたが、酒好きにはたまらない料理ばかりでしょうね。 それぞれ写真で説明します。 唯一の問題点は、食事を出してくださる女性の香水がキツいことですかね〜。 やはり料理屋産は食事の匂いだけで十分でそれ以外はカットすべきです。

(Translated by Google) “When you think of Japanese food in Kofu, Yamanashi, this is the place.” Visited on September 14, 2019. I go to Kofu in Yamanashi for training several times a year. At that time, this is the store that I often visit. I ordered the chef's choice course, and there were many exquisite dishes made with seasonal ingredients. It's really delicious from start to finish 😄 The variety of sake recommended by the chef to go with the dishes is also exquisite. It's a place you can't resist drinking. In the winter, thanks to the connections I made, you can sometimes eat Kue and Ara from Ikitsuki Island! ️ I'll visit you again!! ️ (Original) 『山梨の甲府で和食と言えばココ』 2019年9月14日来訪。 山梨の甲府に、年に数回研修で行っている。 その時に、よくお世話になるのがこのお店です。 大将お任せコースを頼むのですが、旬の食材を使った絶品の数々。 最初から最後まで、本当に美味しいです😄 料理に合わせた大将おススメの日本酒の数々も絶品です。 飲兵衛には堪らない場所です。 冬場は、僕がつないだご縁で、生月（いきつき）島から九絵（クエ、アラ）が食べれる時もあります‼️ また伺います‼️

(Translated by Google) The creative cuisine at this restaurant is amazing. The concept of chawanmushi was overturned. I was also blown away by the meat dishes that came in soup and could be cut with chopsticks. The selection of sake is also great, and I was surprised to find Juyondai, Shinsei, and Tan in the tasting competition. I was very satisfied. (Original) こちらのお店の創作料理はすごいです。茶碗蒸しは持っていた概念を覆されました。スープで出てきて箸で切れる肉料理にも度肝を抜かれました。日本酒の揃えも素晴らしく、飲み比べでは十四代、新政、旦が出てきてびっくり。とても満足しました。

Ice cave is wonderful to get away from the hot weather. I was worried by their maps that made it look like we could run into a room with water or fall down a tunnel, but the handrails kept us on path. It is a short 20 mins but be warned the stairs and passages are steep, wet, and can be slippery. There is one narrow and low ceiling passage of about 20 feet. There is a couple of places with low ceiling to duck down. I would not recommend this if you have mobility problems and a couple of sections gets dark. There are bars to hold onto but one bar seemed a little wobbly. You can use one of their free helmets but there were only 5 total helmets there— there was one other group of 3 people at the cave while we were there and they didn’t have helmets so not sure if the facility only has 5 helmets for all visitors. There is one section that has the ice to see on the left and right. When we went, there didn’t seem to be as much ice as other people’s pictures. It was cool to see the natural ice formation and not something I would go out of your way for, but if you are in the area and interested in geology then drop by. They also had clean restrooms.

Cheap but cheerful cave experience amongst beautiful naturescape. Visit during winter to see ice pillars. We visited in autumn & signs pre-warned ice pillars had melted, so we knew what to expect. Still went for the experience! Steep but short climb down 21m. Cold, so prepare accordingly. Watch your head for low hanging rocks. A short section where we had to pretty much crawl through - a unique experience! Take as long as you like, but approx 10min round trip. 1.4km trail walk (30min) to Wind Cave - can purchase combo tickets. Well worth it for something different and a bit of a nature walk. But you can also drive there.

A unique and memorable stop near Mount Fuji. The Narusawa Ice Cave takes you through narrow lava-tube tunnels with impressive ice formations that stay frozen all year. It’s short (so take your time and make the most of it) but fascinating, about a 20-minute walk through chilly, dim passages that feel like an underground adventure. It can be slippery and tight in spots, even a section to almost crawl, so wear good shoes and a light jacket. The staff are friendly, and signs are available in English and Japanese. Great to pair with the nearby Fugaku Wind Cave for a full experience. Easy to access by car, plenty of parking onsite and leading into, or local bus, and well worth the visit if you’re exploring the Fuji Five Lakes area. There is a gift shop attached where you can also purchase food items. We also visited the Wind Cave, this experience was a little more comfortable, ticket entry can be purchased for both caves at each site.

Narusawa Ice Cave is another place I visited during my trip to Mt. Fuji. Visiting this ice cave offers a great opportunity for physical activity and exercise. I'm glad I can handle it. The Narusawa Ice Cave is not particularly impressive. However, it's fun if you have a whole group of friends who can go together.

Although short, the ice cave is a unique and refreshing experience. Even in summer, it’s cold inside, and the crouching and squeezing through narrow passages to go deeper makes it all the more fun.

Located in the Aokigahara Forest at the northwestern foot of Mt. Fuji, Narusawa Ice Cave is a small lava tube formed about 1,150 years ago during one of Fuji’s eruptions. The temperature inside remains around 0–3°C throughout the year, allowing impressive ice formations to persist even in summer. The walking path is short — about 150 meters — leading down a narrow, slippery tunnel with solidified lava walls and a distinct chill in the air. Two main chambers display preserved ice: one illuminated with soft blue light, the other protected behind metal bars. A full visit takes around 10–15 minutes, and while it’s interesting from a geological perspective, the experience can feel brief — essentially a short descent to view the ice and back. It’s best to buy a combined ticket that includes Fugaku Wind Cave nearby, for a more complete and rewarding visit to the Fuji Five Lakes Geopark area

Not recommen for old person .take a jacket to go in it cold inside.take around 15 min walk down deep in the cave.we was there in hot summer bjt stil vely cool inside. Some place inside is very tinny and ice melt so becare full it very sleppe in there .

Take a trip into a lava cave. No actual lava involved. There are ice blocks. Temperature is 0*C to 3*C in the cave. It has been used for cold storage of silk worm cocoons and seeds. The stairway down is uneven, but not dangerous if care is used. It is not a very long distance into the cave. Basalt and cooled lava are readily viewable. The store at the beginning of the path has corn ice cream. I highly recommend trying it with a bit of salt.

Although brief, it’s a fun experience, especially in summer when it’s hot outside. A 10-minute walk through the cave offers a cool, windy, and refreshing escape. There’s also a bat cave and an ice cave nearby that are worth checking out.

Cheap but cheerful cave experience amongst beautiful naturescape. We visited in autumn. Short steep climb down to cave mouth. Cold so prepare accordingly. Approx 15min round trip. Nearby is Ice Cave (30min by foot, 2min by car) - can purchase combo tix on the day. Definitely recommend walking on the beautiful trail.

Just down the road from the Narusawa Ice Cave, the Fugaku Wind Cave is another must-see spot in the Fuji Five Lakes area. This naturally formed lava tube stays cool all year, with temperatures around zero degrees even in summer, perfect for a quick escape from the heat. Inside, you’ll see displays showing how the cave was once used to store silkworm eggs and seeds, along with impressive ice pillars and rock formations. The walk is smooth and easier than the Ice Cave, making it great for families or anyone wanting a calmer underground experience. The site is well-maintained, has clear English signs, and offers free parking nearby. A short, cool, and educational stop, best enjoyed together with the Ice Cave for a full Mount Fuji lava cave adventure.

Fugaku Wind Cave is an interesting lava tube formed over 1,000 years ago by an eruption of Mt. Fuji. Compared to the nearby Narusawa Ice Cave, this one offers a wider and more comfortable passage, allowing for an easy and pleasant walk through its cool, dark interior. Inside, the temperature remains around 3°C year-round, and during the Edo period the cave was used as a natural refrigerator for silkworm eggs and seeds. The visit takes about 15–20 minutes, and buying a combined ticket for both caves is convenient and recommended, as they complement each other perfectly. What I found most captivating were the walls covered with vivid green mosses and lichens, their color strikingly contrasting with the glossy black lava. Interestingly, these plants grow even in the deeper parts of the cave, where artificial lighting allows them to photosynthesize, creating a mysterious and almost surreal atmosphere.

Great lava tube, far too crowded with people on a hot day, too loud from children, and to slow to move through with girls taking selfie pictures. I recommend the bat or dragon caves for less people and to enjoy the spaces.

The Fugaku Wind Cave is a fun place to visit if you can physically handle the walk and crawling in some cases. The entire trip involves walking up and down many stairs. Make sure you pick up a helmet at the entrance to protect your head if you are not a short person. The cave is fun to watch if you know you can handle it physically.

The most interesting place in Kofu on match-days.

Great place loads of festivals are held there.

Kofu city football stadium. Cmon kofu..

The cherry blossoms are in full bloom.

Exciting!

Good

The stadium is lit

Terrible conditions. It was upsetting to see the animals is such small cages or tiny concrete enclosures with nothing to stimulate them. My Daughter kept asking to save them, it was that bad

A simple place to be in. This is, for me, like a mini zoo. It isn't as big as all others I've been to, but the kids still enjoyed here especially my youngest who loves animals so much! The entrance fee is okay, though. (¥320 for adults and ¥30 for kids - not quite sure their age ranges)

I liked this place but it did look run down...old. I was surprised to see that they had the animals that are at big zoos. I think many areas need to be painted and the facilities need to be updated for a more enjoyable experience. Besides that, I was able to enjoy my daughter seeing animals like penguins, tigers, lions and others for the first time. Once again, the habitats for the big animals look like they are the most basic possible. Just concrete with very little vegetation doesn't seem like they would be happy. This is a huge park with several places to see and for kids to play around, but I hope that the parks management can find the funds to put into the park to make it better for the animals and visitors as well.

Currently under construction, but the animals are being kept in their cages around the construction site. The noise must be very distressing for them. Doesn’t seem ethical at all!

Great little park. The recent update makes it more enjoyable for kids of all ages. I can’t wait until the zoo opens back up. The new temple looks really nice as well.

Everyone should come to this zoo. Not because it's good, but the animals need more money for better housing. They looked all so sad in the small cages and such. Please come and support the zoo so the animals can have a better life. Also I wouldn't mind paying ¥500 for an entrance fee to help out.

Excellent for kids, but adults might find it too small

The museum was great, nice exhibits of feudal life in Yamanashi prefecture. I know it's not a foreign tourist spot, but the exhibits could use maybe English wording as mobile phones are prohibited, so we couldn't use our phones for translation. The five stars actually go to a young attendant working at the museum who despite the language barrier really gave her best to explain the central exhibit. We did use phones at least for speech translation. Thank you very much!

This place offers great historical information, which includes artifacts used by the people of Japan hundreds if not over a thousand plus year in the past. Also we found information on medicine than killed people instead of saving them back then, as well as classroom setti gs, miniature parks and wear. A really amazing experience for a museum. Recommended.

It's a small museum and the location is not necessarily easy to reach. However if the exhibition is interesting it is a very good place.

The initial multimedia experience of the Jomon pot was a mind-bender! -- the water and snake theme from the floor really got me, also thanks to the kind guide who explained the symbolism of the wild pig and snake on the pot. Later, the Edo period replica of rural life and mukashibanashi was a lot of fun -- again, thanks to a kind guide who made sure I noticed the stories in the arrangements. Finally, the school room replica of the second world war situation was emotionally gripping, and ranged from school indoctination to the atomic bombing. Thankfully, there was some hopeful childrens artwork on a wall nearby that brought a few tears of joy!

Took a short detour on my walk back from the mochi factory The staff was very helpful and one of them had great english too The exhibits were cool and the price was great for a university student

The best award design. Beautyful museum.

Good place for hangout.

It was a very bad experience. We are not allowed to eat peaches directly in the garden, we are served crushed peaches with low sweetness. I think it's fallen peaches from the garden. Extremely bad quality. We were really disappointed and angry, it felt like we were cheated.

Feeling great under the vineyard with grapes above my head all over the place. Staff are kind and nice. Barbecue set is accomodate and good. Prices are all affordable.

2022 August 15 last day of 🍑 picking

We had to wait for 30 min despite a reservation

followed a day tour there.. grapes were great.. you might have one or two bunches of grapes.. if you could have 3.. wow~ speechless.. they sold wines.. snacks.. made from their grapes.. but action fast.. cos the tour had time limit..

Facilities are good there. We went almost end of the grape season. So grapes were ripen. You can do all you can eat and can also purchas grapes and other fruits.

Misaka grape farm is so beautiful and tasty.

Very nice atmosphere shop, has tatami seats for you. Ordered the cha-shu ramen. It was huge and rather over whelming. Overall, it was a decent ramen

Had the most amazing evening here. The chef made us feel so welcome. The ramen and gyoza was the best we’ve had in Japan yet!

Flavorful simple shoyu base ramen. Takes you back to your childhood eating ramen with Ojichan and Obachan at the small town local gem. The chashu here is very good. The gyoza is homemade and delicious. A few other dishes also available and equally good.

One of the best Shoyu Ramen (soy sauce based ramen) in Kanto district or Yamanashi prefecture. You can take a train from Tokyo. They have value to visit for taking 90 minutes from Shinjuku station if you like Ramen.

Outstanding quality of food and Customer Service! Best Ramen shop in Yamanashi hands down. I'm so happy to have visited this place! 👍🏾😎👍🏾🤤🇯🇵🇺🇸🇻🇳#oishi #ramen #Yamanashi

Very delicious Ramen and in good quantity. Really enjoyed

Great quality ramen, wonton, and gyoza but the chashu is the star of the show !! Must try !!

(Translated by Google) I went to eat there for the first time today. The interior is very calming and nice. I ordered miso ramen. The soup was rich and easy to eat, making me want to eat rice. The medium-thick noodles mixed well with the soup, and the aroma spread as I slurped them down, making it very delicious. The staff were friendly and the atmosphere was great. I would like to go again. (Original) 本日初めて食べに行きました。 内装はとても落ち着きがあり良いです。 ラーメンは味噌を頼みました。濃厚でとても食べやすい濃厚さでご飯が欲しくなるスープ、麺は中太でスープとよく絡み、啜ると香りが広がりとてもおいしかったです。 お店の方も愛想が良くとても雰囲気が良いです、また行きたいと思います。

(Translated by Google) The restaurant, which focuses on using natural ingredients, has a homey feel that makes you want to come home. Of course, ramen is also a great bowl that won't put a strain on your body. (Original) 自然由来の食材にこだわったお店はアットホームで思わずただいまと言いたくなる温もりが。 もちろんラーメンも体に負担のない素晴らしい1杯

(Translated by Google) I've been going here regularly for over five years. I wouldn't say I'm a regular, but I've realized that I've been going here all this time. I only eat soy sauce ramen, and sometimes miso ramen, but the soup is so rich you wouldn't believe it's made without any artificial flavorings, and it has a deliciousness that you can only get here. It used to be quite busy, but these days you can get in quickly, which is great. I'll probably keep going here until the restaurant closes or I can't eat there anymore. (Original) もう5年以上、定期的に通っています。常連という感じでもないんですが、気づけばずっと通い続けているお店です。 しょうゆラーメンと、時々ミソラーメンしか食べませんが、無化調とは思えないほど奥深いスープで、ここでしか味わえない美味しさがあります。 昔はかなり混んでいましたが、最近はすぐに入れるのでありがたいですね。 きっとお店がなくなるか、自分が食べられなくなるまで通い続けると思います。

(Translated by Google) I had been curious about it for a while, so I decided to visit it when I was passing by. Although it is not large, there is a parking lot in front of the store. I was a little taken aback by the unique color scheme of the signboard and the interior of the store. The best part is that it is completely free of chemical seasonings (currently renamed umami seasonings). Light chicken soba soy sauce 900 yen Toppings include chicken char siu, chili pepper, chopped green onions, and white green onions. Lots of green onions. The soup is mild and has a umami-like flavor with no sharp edges. The noodles have a slightly low water content and are curly, making them firm but still retaining their elasticity. It's been a while since I've had noodles this curly. I don't feel guilty even if I finish the soup, but I don't think it's low in salt, so I didn't finish it. (Original) 以前から気になっていたので、近くを通った際に訪問してみました。 広くは無いですが、お店の前には駐車場もあります。 看板や店内の独特の色使いに少しひるむ。 化学調味料(現在はうま味調味料に名称変更)完全未使用がウリとの事です。 あっさり鶏そば醤油900円 トッピングは鶏チャーシュー、カイワレ、刻みネギ、白髪ネギ。 ネギ多め。 スープは優しめで角がない無化調っぽい旨みのある味わい。 麺はやや低加水でパツっとしつつも弾力は残している縮れ麺。 ここまで縮れている麺は久しぶり。 スープを飲み干しても罪悪感は少なめなイメージですが、別に塩分が少ないというわけでは無さそうなので飲み切らず。

(Translated by Google) I had the special miso ramen and the chashu mini bowl. It had a variety of flavors, such as the sweetness and sourness of miso, and the slight bitterness of ginger, but it was very gentle, easy to eat, and very delicious. It was a cup that warmed my heart and body in a restaurant where time passed slowly! The parking lot is small, so if you're driving, it might be a good idea to check where you can park in advance. (Original) 特製味噌ラーメンと、チャーシューミニどんぶりをいただきました。 味噌の甘み、酸味、ショウガの様なほのかな苦味など、いろんな風味が感じられ、それでいてとても優しい味わいで食べやすく、とても美味しかったです。 ゆったりとした時間の流れる店内で、心も身体も温まる１杯でした！ 駐車場が狭めなので、車で行く時は事前に停められる場所を確認しておいた方が良いかもしれません。

(Translated by Google) A restaurant where you can enjoy natural soup and handmade noodles. I visited you at noon. The parking lot is a little far away. At first glance, the exterior doesn't look like a ramen shop. The interior of the store has a new retro feel, and the chairs at the counter are made of resin with a space-age feel. I was guided to the counter and ordered soy sauce ramen. Water is self-service. Corona measures are also well taken. The soy sauce ramen soup has a good balance of seafood and animal flavors. The taste is amazing without any chemicals. The handmade noodles are also chewy and have a nice texture. If you sit at the counter, you must raise your bowl after finishing your meal. Next time, let's try miso. Thank you for the meal. (Original) 無化調スープと手打ち麺の味わえるお店。 昼時にお邪魔しました。 駐車場は少し離れた場所にあります。 一見、ラーメン屋さんに見えない外観。 店内もニューレトロな雰囲気でカウンターのチェアもスペースエイジ感のある樹脂製のもの。 カウンターに案内され、醤油ラーメンを注文。 水はセルフです。 コロナ対策もしっかりされています。 醤油ラーメンのスープは魚介の風味と動物系が良いバランスで組み合わされたもの。 無化調でこの旨味は凄い。 手打ちの麺もモチモチで良い食感です。 カウンター席は食べ終わったあとに丼上げ必須。 次は味噌を食べよう。 ご馳走さまでした。

(Translated by Google) The balance between the chewy, medium-thick handmade noodles and the additive-free soup is truly one of a kind! It's light and addictive, so you'll want to eat it again and again. The large servings and mini char siu bowls (not mini) are filling, so even big eaters won't be disappointed! The service isn't very friendly, but you can tell they're serious about their ramen, and it's actually quite pleasant after a few visits. I recommend the soy sauce at first! For a heartier dish, I'd recommend the green onion soy sauce + mini char siu bowl. It has a mild flavor, and everything is delicious! The egg topping is absolutely delicious and a must-try! (Original) 中太モチモチの自家製手打ち麺の食感と、無添加スープのバランスはマジで唯一無二！ あっさり系で何回も食べたくなる中毒性有り。 大盛りやミニチャーシュー丼(ミニでは無いけど)はボリュームが有り、大食いの人も不足無し！ 接客に愛想はないけど、ラーメンに対する本気度が伝わり、何回か通うとむしろそれが心地よいですよ。 最初は醤油がお薦め！ガッツリ系はネギ醤油+ミニチャ丼かな。 優しい味で、何を食べても美味しい！ トッピングのたまごはぜひ食べてもらいたい絶品！

Good

(Translated by Google) The stewed chicken giblets and the chewy soba noodles were absolutely delicious! The all-you-can-eat soba noodles set was a little pricey at 2,500 yen, but it was a great splurge! I was able to eat just the right amount of soba noodles to satisfy me, and it went perfectly with the rich, sweet and spicy stewed chicken giblets. I went there for the stewed chicken giblets, but the soba noodles were also very delicious, so I recommend this set! ・Tablet ordering ・Self-service payment and electronic payments such as PayPay accepted (Original) 鳥もつ煮、それにコシのあるお蕎麦が最高に美味しかったです！ 蕎麦おかわり放題のセット、2500円と少々高めでしたが奮発して大正解！自分の満足ができる適量のお蕎麦を食べられましたし、濃厚で甘辛い鳥もつ煮とも相性が抜群でした。 鳥もつ煮を目当てに行きましたが、お蕎麦もとても美味しいので、このセットをオススメします！ ・タブレット注文式 ・セルフ決済、PayPayなど電子決済もOK

(Translated by Google) Hmm, the prices are a little high, but it seems like a popular restaurant, so let's give it a try! So we headed there. There's something resembling a shrine in front of the restaurant, which really lifts the spirits. We were looking for soba, but rather than being delicious the moment you bite into it, I think the flavor only comes after you've chewed it. I guess an all-you-can-eat option would be a bit much. The toilets are outside, but that's another interesting detail, and it was very interesting for a tourist. (Original) うーん単価高めだけど人気店みたいなんで行ってみよう！との事で訪問。 店先に神社っぽいものがあったり気分上がりますね 蕎麦が目当てだったのですが、食べた瞬間美味しいというより噛んでから美味しさが伝わるタイプだと思います。 これで食べ放題はキツイかな。 トイレは外ですが、また拘りを感じる仕様で観光客としてはとても興味深いものでした

(Translated by Google) This neighborhood-focused restaurant is always bustling with locals. The firm soba noodles and richly flavored broth are delicious, and the tempura is crispy and crispy. It's perfect for those looking for a hearty meal of everyday soba. There's a nice restroom in a separate building. The convenience of being able to order via tablet and pay by yourself was great. This time, I ordered the regular tempura soba, but what a generous offer! They also have an all-you-can-eat soba menu, so next time I'd like to enjoy some delicious soba to my heart's content. (Visited August 2025) [Personal Rating] Soba: 4 stars, Soba broth: 4 stars, Restaurant atmosphere: 4 stars (Original) 地域密着で地元の方で賑わっています。腰のある蕎麦に、シッカリした味わいのつゆ。カラッと揚がって天ぷら。庶民的なお蕎麦をお腹いっぱい食べたい人にぴったりだと思います。立派なトイレが別棟で建っていました。 タブレットでのオーダーや、お会計もセルフで済ますことができて便利でした。 今回は普通に天ぷら蕎麦を頼みましたが、なんと太っ腹なことでしよう！ お蕎麦が食べ放題のメニューもあり、次回は美味しいお蕎麦を心ゆくまで堪能したいと思います。 （2025年8月　訪問） 【個人的評価】 蕎麦：★4つ、蕎麦つゆ：★4つ、お店の雰囲気：★4つ

(Translated by Google) It's been a while since I last visited. You order using a tablet and pay by yourself. It's the same here, I thought. The stewed chicken offal is a must here. I ordered a half portion. I actually wanted to order the all-you-can-eat soba noodles, but since the boiled peach parfait was coming up later, I ordered the maitake mushroom tempura on cold soba. The maitake mushroom tempura was crispy and fluffy. The maitake mushroom flavor slowly hit me as I chewed it - so delicious! The soba noodles were consistently delicious. I was happy that the seaweed was served separately (lol). I bought the stewed chicken offal to go as a snack with my drinks! (Original) 久しぶりに来店。 オーダーはタブレット、会計はセルフ。ここでもなのね。という感じ。 ここでは鳥モツ煮は必須。ハーフをオーダー。本当はおそば食べ放題を頼みたかったけど、この後煮桃パフェが控えているので舞茸天ざるをオーダー 舞茸天サクサクふわふわ。噛むと舞茸の旨味がジワぁ〜旨っ！ おそばは安定の美味しさ。 海苔が別盛りなのは何だか嬉しい(笑) 鳥モツ煮、お酒のあてにしたくてテイクアウトで購入！

(Translated by Google) I visit here 3 or 4 times a year when I want to eat soba noodles until I'm full. I always choose the chicken tripe soba set meal. I haven't eaten anything else for years. The set meal comes with a variety of other items besides soba noodles, such as chicken tripe, rice, grated yam, and wild vegetables. The soba noodles are firm and cold with just the right amount of salt. My father's family and relatives are used to eating chicken tripe in Yamanashi, so I love the seasoning, but my wife doesn't like it because it's too sweet. The soba noodles are about 8 pieces more than the soba noodles that come with the set meal. The price is higher than other menu items, but I recommend it for those who want to eat soba noodles until they're full. (Original) 年に3,4回、おなか一杯蕎麦が食べたい時に訪問してます。自分は鳥もつ蕎麦定食一択。これ以外、もう何年も食べてません。 定食には、鳥もつ/ごはん/とろろ/山菜等蕎麦以外にも色々ついてます。蕎麦はいい塩梅に冷たく締められた、腰のある蕎麦です。鳥もつは、父実家や親せきが山梨で食べ慣れているので、大好きな味付けですが、妻は甘すぎて苦手なようです。 蕎麦は、定食でついてくる蕎麦＋8枚くらい食べる感じ。お値段は他メニューよりはお高めですが、おなか一杯そばを食べたい方にはお勧めです。

(Translated by Google) I visited this restaurant during a day trip to Isawa Onsen in Yamanashi. I signed my name and waited in the parking lot 10 minutes before opening. Quickly stocked. The tatami room is set up like a sunken kotatsu, so you can relax. This was my first time at Okuto, so I wasn't sure what to order. The recommended set meal included all-you-can-eat soba noodles, which felt a bit pricey. The stewed chicken offal was delicious. All in all, the total cost was over 2,500 yen per person. I might need to do a bit more research. (Original) 山梨日帰り旅行で、石和温泉に寄った際に訪問 開店10分前に名前を書いて駐車場で待機 即入荷 お座敷は掘りごたつ形式になっているのでゆっくり出来ます 奥藤さんは初なのでなにを注文して良いか分からず オススメの定食はそば食べ放題がセットされるので割高感あり 鳥もつ煮は美味しかったです なんだかんだ注文したら1人2500円〜 もう少し研究が必要かも

Beautiful falls and rock formations, only a short hike to the shops and restaurants on top.

Really beautiful place to visit if you're into hiking or sightseeing. Unfortunate that autumn was not in full yet but beautiful nonetheless.

Lovely waterfall tucked here! We took a small bus to the top of the mountain and walked down, and i really reccommend that route as it is less tiring. But you can also decide to hike! Theres a lot of tiny waterfalls along the way and the nature surrounding this area is just gorgeous!

Really nice hiking area with multiple lots of free parking. All of the main paths are paved so it is more like a walk rather than a hike. Their are also vending machines, restrooms and food stalls along the path. Best to arrive in the morning to beat most of the crowds. Also, there is a lot of construction on the way up and down the mountain, just be prepared.

I went on a rainy day in mid November, which is the perfect time to go because the autumn maple leaves look amazing! The hike could have been marked better with more English assistance, but otherwise it was pretty easy. The green line bus is reasonably priced, but comes about once an hour, so be careful about your return. I would highly recommend this hike!

Fantastic place with a nice walking path, takes about 30 minutes to walk and some spectacular views of the waterfall and crags. We came pretty early, so it wasn't too busy yet.

Shōsenkyō Gorge as a whole is a beautiful and serene destination, easily accessed from Kofu. We arrived at Shōsenkyō Taki Ue on the local bus (IC card accepted) and commenced our adventure, starting with the ropeway, having lunch at a local soba shop and descending on foot through the gorge itself to the Greenline Shōsenkyō bus stop. The gorge hosts amazing scenery including Senga (Sengataki) Falls and a rushing river which runs parallel to the stone walkway. There is no entry fee required here, simply follow the path until you wish to exit. The route we took is fairly easy, and being downhill would be suitable for younger children.

Beautiful shrine and got to see the Sakura trees in bloom.

Beautiful little shrine with Sakura in the spring and fantastic views of Mount Fuji

Nice colorful temple, one of the best temple in Kofu area

Super beautiful

(Translated by Google) Passing through the torii gate and climbing the long staircase next to the hand-washing area, you'll come across a large, magnificent cedar tree halfway up, where it is enshrined. Climbing further, you can hear the beautiful sound of wind chimes and find the new-looking main hall, a shop selling amulets and other items, and a goshuin (temple seal) reception desk. You can take a shortcut by car to the parking lot next to the main hall, but if you're feeling energetic, we recommend taking the course that starts from the bottom. (Original) 鳥居をくぐり手洗い場の横にある長い階段を登っていくと中程に大きく見事な杉の木があり祀られています。更に登ると綺麗な風鈴の音色が聴こえて新しそうな本殿やお守りなどの販売所、御朱印受付などがありました。 車で本殿横の駐車場までショートカットで行けますが、元気でしたら下から登るコースがお勧めです。

(Translated by Google) There is a very impressive cedar tree. It seems to have been newly rebuilt and is very beautiful. It seems they hold a variety of events there as well. From the parking lot below, you have to walk up a fair amount of stairs, but you can drive all the way to the top, so even those with bad legs can visit without any problems. (Original) とても立派な杉の木があります。 新しく建て直したのかとても綺麗です。 イベントも色々と行っているようです。 下の駐車場からだと結構歩いて階段を上がる必要がありますが、車で上まで行けるので脚の悪い方でも問題なく参拝できます。

(Translated by Google) 🐱What's Kinzakura Shrine like? - Meow! It's a 2,000-year-old, veteran shrine! It all began during the reign of Emperor Sujin, when cats were suffering from illness and a small deity, Sukunahikona no Mikoto, was enshrined at Mount Kinpu. - Later, Emperor Yamato Takeru stopped by on his way back from a trip, further enhancing the shrine's power! Susanoo no Mikoto and Onamuchi no Mikoto were also enshrined there. 🐾A long history! - From the Kamakura period through the reign of the Takeda cat family, the shrine buildings became increasingly magnificent. It's said that Takeda Nobushige (Shingen's younger brother) also prayed to the "Mushikiri Suzu." - The shrine building burned down in a fire during the Showa era, but thanks to the wishes of cats, it was beautifully rebuilt! Even now, the magnificent shrine building sparkles. - There are also sacred treasures called "fireballs" and "waterballs" made of crystal. They're so shiny, they seem to bring good fortune! 🌸 What an amazing place Kinzakura Shrine is! - In the spring, golden cherry blossoms called "Ukon no Sakura" (Turmeric Cherry Blossoms) bloom! They're also known as the "Money Tree." - If you pray to these cherry blossoms and receive a crystal amulet... meow! It's said you'll be blessed with good fortune for the rest of your life! ✨ - Along with the beautiful scenery of Shosenkyo, this place is packed with the power of nature and the gods. Both cats and humans will feel energized! (Original) 🐱金櫻神社ってどんなとこにゃ？ - にゃんと！2000年も前からある超ベテラン神社にゃ！崇神天皇のころ、にゃんこたちが病気で困ってたとき、金峰山にちっちゃな神様・少彦名命（すくなひこなのみこと）をおまつりしたのがはじまりにゃ〜。 - そのあと、日本武尊（やまとたけるのみこと）にゃんが旅の帰りに立ち寄って、さらにパワーアップ！須佐之男命（すさのおのみこと）と大己貴命（おおなむちのみこと）もいっしょにまつられたにゃん。 🐾歴史のなが〜い足あとにゃ - 鎌倉時代から武田にゃんこ家の時代にかけて、社殿がどんどん立派になったにゃ。武田信繁にゃん（信玄の弟にゃ）も「虫切鈴」にお願いしたって話があるにゃん。 - 昭和のころに火事で社殿が燃えちゃったけど、にゃんこたちの願いで見事に再建されたにゃ！今も立派な社殿がキラキラしてるにゃ〜。 - 水晶の「火の玉」「水の玉」っていう神宝もあるにゃん。ピカピカでご利益ありそうにゃ！ 🌸金櫻神社のすごいとこにゃ！ - 春になると「鬱金の桜（うこんのさくら）」っていう黄金色の桜が咲くにゃ！にゃんと「金のなる木」って呼ばれてるにゃんよ。 - この桜を拝んで、水晶のお守りをもらうと…にゃにゃにゃんと！一生金運に恵まれるって言われてるにゃ〜✨ - 昇仙峡のきれいな景色といっしょに、自然と神様のパワーがぎゅっと詰まった場所にゃ。にゃんこも人間も元気になれるにゃん！

A big easy access station, it has a Yodobashi just right outside the South exit, it has lots of restaurant and places to buy souvenirs. Also has a lot of places to try wine.

It’s a good station with different restaurants for quick bite and convenience stores for snacks before going to your destination for either travel, work or school.

Ok.

Convenient store, station building, bus terminal, etc you have everything you need around the station.

You won't get lost. Just follow the color coding of the trains. Its better though if there's an english translation. Anyway, what I did was to look up the place I want to go in google maps and then compared the Japanese characters with that on the map. Easily found it on the route map and paid my fare.

Visited on 15th Jan. 2019. Since this year is 500 Anniversary of Koufu opening. There is a short-term exhibition in the Koufu station. It tells lots of history, local things about Koufu. Especially the historical figure “Takeda Shingen”.

Less english sign than smaller station (eg otsuki). Difficult to find a right car number.

Had a nice bowl of udon here

Very cool shopping mall! They have a but of everything and LOTS of restaurants.

Nice shopping mall inside the kofu station

Ok

Good Shopping Experience

(Translated by Google) This station building is right next to JR Kofu Station. There's a Lotteria that's open from early in the morning, and you can earn JRE points, so it's convenient! You can apparently see Mt. Fuji from the rooftop if the weather's good! (Original) JR甲府駅すぐの駅ビルです。 早朝から空いているロッテリアがあったり、JREポイントが貯まるので便利です！ 屋上からは天気が良いと富士山が見えるそうです！

(Translated by Google) There's a parking lot next door! Spend 1,500 yen and get 1 hour free! It's in a station building at the prefectural capital, but the first floor...the only thing open was Seijo Ishii... Is it under renovation? The second floor is home to Kikyoya, a great place for souvenirs, so I bought lots of them! I'm glad I was able to buy the Shingen Mochi [Kiwame] monaka! (Original) 駐車場は隣にあり！ 1500円買って1時間無料！ 県庁所在地の駅ビルだけれど、 １階は…成城石井くらいしかやっていなかった… 改装中なの？ 2階はお土産によい、桔梗屋が入っていたのでお土産沢山買った！ 最中の信玄餅【極】が買えてよかった！

The statue of Takeda Shingen right in front of Kofu Station is impressively large and has a commanding presence, even more than I expected.

Cool statue, visually impressive and captures beautifully one of the great warlords of the Sengoku era!

Really Awesome Monument People Says That This Is The real Size Of the Samurai !!!! It Looks Like Very Real . Don’t Miss the Chance to See it . 😊😊😊😊

Badass

A samurai statue in front of Kofu Station (South Exit).

GBSA-085 Travel with friend

awesome

Great healthy burger. Will recommend to other. Friendly staff

Decent burgers but overpriced for what you get.

Affordable and delicious

Good

(Translated by Google) Moss-san is located right next to Kofu-e. The store itself isn't that big. The staff's smile will soothe you No matter what you order, you will receive water. Is it unusual for fast food? If you request from here Of course, you can also get it at other stores... thank you What is the owner's hobby? Recommended books are available in the store I'm happy with this kind of service. It would be great if it was nearby Even if my neighbor Mr. Moss disappeared... (Original) 甲府驛からすぐにあるモスさん お店自体わ　そんなに　大きくありませんが 店員さんの笑顔に　癒やされます なにを注文しても　水をいただけます ファストフードでは珍しい？ こちらから要望すれば 他店でも　もちろん　いただけますが・・・ ありがたい オーナーさんの趣味？ オススメの本が　店内にあり こういった　サービスもうれしぃ 近所にあったら　えぇけど 近所のモスさんなくなってもぉた・・・

The soy meat burger is the only vegetarian burger on the menu. Mine came with plenty of fresh lettuce and a slice of tomato. A decent burger if one can forgive the thousand island dressing. Appreciated that the lemon tea was totally unsweetened! Would be great if there are more vegetarian and vegan options on the menu.

(Translated by Google) Use counter seats. There are charging outlets, USB power supply, and about 9 counter seats. It's a very attractive environment with chairs that don't get tired even if you sit for a long time, friendly and courteous customer service, a quiet and calm customer base, and stylish background music, so you don't get cold even by the window. Stores not suitable for wheelchairs. They provide trays and baskets so it's easy to eat while you work. If you don't have a set menu, you may have to wait for a while, but there is no menu outside the restaurant, so some people may be in a hurry to choose, but if you tell the staff that you would like to choose a few items, they will wait for you, so it's okay. . It's a good idea to prepare a slightly larger budget. Refills of hot coffee after the second cup only cost 100 yen, so it's perfect for coffee junkies. (Original) カウンター席を利用。充電用のコンセントあり、USB給電あり、カウンター席数は約9席。 長時間座っても疲れないちょうどよいイス、快く丁寧な接客、静かで穏やかな客層、おしゃれなBGMと非常に魅力的な環境で窓際でも寒くない。 車椅子は向いていない店舗。 お盆やカゴを用意してくれるので作業しながら食べやすい。 メニューが決まっていない場合少し待たないといけないが、お店の外にメニューがあるわけではなく選ぶのに焦る人もいるかもしれないが、スタッフさんに少し選びたいと言えば待ってくれるので大丈夫。 予算は少し多めに用意すると良い。 ホットコーヒーは2杯目以降おかわりが100円で済むので、コーヒージャンキーには最高です。

Generous size & very nice staff. It was delicious, I totally recommend it !!!

Cute restaurant, a bit hard to find as it is on the second floor The garlic bread was especially delicious

nice

(Translated by Google) There was a new item on the lunch menu, so I got the cherry blossoms! The flavor of cherry shrimp, the faint aroma of green perilla, the taste of raw whitebait, the chewy texture of the mentaiko sauce, and the thickly sliced ​​garlic and cabbage add even more texture to the dish, making it extremely delicious😋 The noodles seem to have been boiled a little longer than al dente, but the texture is on the chewy side. Best of all, it's filling and filling ☺️ It just says that I want to eat my fill 😁 I left behind the famous Japan's best cream soda...💦 (Original) ランチメニューで新商品があったので桜を頂きました！ 桜エビの香味、青じそのほのかな香り、生しらすの味わいにプチプチ食感の明太子ソースに厚切りガーリックとキャベツが更に食感アクセントになり非常に美味しい😋 麺はアルデンテより多少長めの茹で加減の感じですが、歯応えはもっちり側な感じです。 なによりボリュームあり食べ応えあります☺️ お腹いっぱい食べたいって書いてあるだけに😁 名物日本一のクリームソーダはお預けにしてしまいました…💦

(Translated by Google) There are 20 seats, and because coffee is included with lunch, waiting times tend to be a little longer, resulting in a queue. A regular portion is 150g of dried noodles, and a large portion is 250g, so a regular portion is enough for 1.5 people, and is quite filling. The menu changes with the seasons, but I had the classic Neapolitan. It was packed with fresh tomatoes and other vegetables, and had a strong flavor that was very delicious. (Original) 20席でランチにはコーヒーも付いているため滞留時間がやや長くなり、行列になります。普通盛りで乾麺150g.、大盛りで250gなので普通盛りで1.5人前、結構お腹いっぱいにしてくれます。メニューは季節で変わりますがおそらく定番であろうナポリタンをいただきました。フレッシュトマトなど野菜もふんだんに入っていて味がしっかりしていてとても美味しかったです。

(Translated by Google) Delicious pasta in front of Kofu Station. The space is small, so you might have to queue up on the second-floor stairs. Don't block the stairwells. The pasta is rich and full of fresh ingredients. (Original) 甲府站前超好吃的義大利麵 空間不大 可能會需要在往2樓樓梯排隊 不要佔據阻礙樓梯的通行 義大利麵很濃郁 料多新鮮

(Translated by Google) It was a soup pasta with plenty of seafood. For me, the taste was a little light, but it was full of seafood and garlic. Next time I'd like to try something other than soup pasta♫♫♫ (Original) 海鮮たっぷりのスープパスタでした。私的には味が、薄かったですが、海鮮とにんにくたっぷりでした。つぎはスープパスタじゃないものを食べてみたいです♫♫♫
