BRAND NEW DAY — Restaurant in Fujikawaguchiko

5+++ stars for everything! Service, food, atmosphere all excellent. A true hidden jewel of peace, calm and tranquility tucked directly adjacent to all the major tourist craziness happening just ten meters away! I love the easy to miss, almost hidden garden entrances to the property. We accidentally stumbled into the property and restaurant.

The restaurant is located on a second floor patio overlooking the grounds with beautiful garden foliage and walkways with hidden special little touches tucked here and there (like the owl statue high in a tree and the carp statue looking natural in the running brook that winds itself through the property). The property itself is very well designed and has a handful of high end boutiques, artisanal craft shops and cafes, all with lovely attentive staff.

At this price point, I'm guessing that you are paying a premium for the Mt Fuji view -- not guaranteed of course. If you are here during the Summer months, you may wish to sit indoors instead as it is simply unbearably warm outside. Do note that there are large numbers and high frequencies of tour buses which stop at Oishi Park. This may affect your...
