Our experience offers a unique opportunity to make Hoto, Yamanashi’s traditional noodle dish, from scratch near Mt. Fuji and Lake Kawaguchiko.

Unlike a typical cooking class, guests knead the dough, roll it out, and cut the noodles entirely by hand before enjoying the meal they created themselves. Friendly instructors provide step-by-step guidance, making the experience enjoyable for beginners, families, couples, and solo travelers alike.

We also strive to accommodate food allergies, dietary restrictions, and religious requirements whenever possible.

This hands-on cultural experience combines authentic local cuisine, Japanese traditions, and unforgettable memories of the Mt. Fuji region.

Guests can enjoy a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere while learning a traditional recipe that has been passed down through generations in Yamanashi.

No cooking experience is required, and all ingredients and equipment are provided.

    A very fun experience and a great way to spend the afternoon, especially when it's so hot out. Our instructor was so friendly and we invited her to eat the hoto with us that we made. It was a very genuine experience and one of my favourite from fuji.

    We went to Lake Kawaguchi in Yamanashi. I wanted to try Yamanashi's local food, so I participated in the experience of making hoto. The instructor explained everything very carefully and made it a very meaningful and wonderful time for us. The activity is indoors, so there is no need to worry even if the weather turns bad. The distance to the store is about a 15-minute walk from Kawaguchiko Station.
