Noah — Restaurant in Yamanakako

Extremely disappointing to say the least. My husband, my mom and I were very excited to eat and drink coffee there while we’re in Fuji for only a couple days, but even though half of the seats both outside and inside were empty, the staff members came out and just said “no” without an explanation.

We had a nice short chat (as short as my extremely limited Japanese allowed), and then she even gave me the directions for the bus, and took some photos of me outside with Fujisan in the background. 📸 “Say cheesecake!” 😊 Thank you again for your kindness! I’d love to come...

The service staff in the store were extremely rude. I came here just for taking photos, but they wouldn't let customers move around. We could only sit in our assigned seats, not even allowed to stand outside. However, if new customers came in, they would force us to change seats, even if we had arrived earlier and were already eating. It was a really bad experience. The food and coffee were both frozen solid and tasted terrible. This photo was taken when we had already sat down, but the waiter...
