Kaikatei — Restaurant in Hakone

岡田美術館の庭園にある日本の古民家のような外装のレストランです。『コ』の字で形成されたカウンター席の部屋とテーブル席の部屋で構成され、いずれの席も掘りごたつとなっており、冬には足元で暖を取りながら食事を楽しむことが出来ます。食事は主にうどんで、天麩羅やキノコなどがトッピングされています。盛り付けは勿論のこと、シンプルながら品性を感じさせる器にも注目です。 食事をする部屋の壁はガラス戸になっており、外からの光がふんだんに入るため、日中はとても明るいです。また外は庭園であり、水や風、葉擦れ等の自然の音を楽しめます。そのため、店内はBGM等は流れていません。おしゃべりも控えめに、自然の音を満喫しながら食事を楽しむといいでしょう。 一方で、このレストランに行くには、岡田美術館の入り口から急な坂道を上る必要があります。傾斜が急であるため、車椅子等の障碍を持つ方は介助が必要になるかもしれません。まだレストランは玄関で靴を脱いだ後に入室しますが、そこにも段差があります。障害を持つ方は利用しづらいと感じるでしょう。

The restaurant is located in the garden of the Okada Museum of Art and has an exterior that resembles an old Japanese house. The restaurant consists of two rooms, one with counter seating formed in a U shape and the other with table seating. The dishes are mainly Udon, topped with tempura and mushrooms. The dishes are well presented, and the simple yet decent tableware is also noteworthy. The walls of the room where we eat are glass doors, allowing plenty of light from outside, so it is very bright during the day. Outside is a garden where you can enjoy the sounds of nature such as water, wind, and the rustling of leaves. For this reason, there is no BGM in the restaurant. It's best to keep your chatter to a minimum and enjoy your meal while enjoying the sounds of nature. On the other hand, to get to this restaurant, you need to walk up a steep slope from the entrance of the Okada Museum of Art. Because of the steepness of the slope, people with disabilities such as wheelchairs may need assistance. You still have to take off your shoes at the entrance before entering the restaurant, but there are steps there as well. People with disabilities may find it difficult to use...

This restaurant is tucked away behind Okada Museum and is certainly a hidden gem. It’s a beautiful setting with views overlooking the garden. You’re also allowed to roam the garden for free. The udon noodles were super fresh and had a great consistency, probably the best we...

A cozy lunch place open until 16:30. Simple, but tasty lunch options with a very nice setting in a traditional tea house. You can enjoy udon with more than 6 types of mushrooms while looking into a garden. If you are in the Kowakien area and need a lunch/coffee break, I...
