Hoto-making is well-worth the experience whatever the time of year

No visit to Kofu is complete without trying ‘hoto’ – the region’s most well-known local food. Hoto consists of flat udon noodles and vegetables, served in miso soup, making for a warming, highly nutritious meal (the vegetables used differ from place to place).

Close to the area’s famous Shosenkyo Gorge is Hoto Kaikan - a restaurant-facility in which customers can make their very own hoto, under the friendly guidance of their experienced staff, making it ideal for even the absolute beginner. 

With the area’s natural beauty offering something different with each season - (Cherry Blossom, Azalea & Japanese Wild Parsley in Spring, fresh green leaves in Summer, red leaves in Autumn and stunning snow scenes in Winter) – hoto-making is well-worth the experience whatever the time of year. 

Please note that advance reservations are required. For price information, please contact Hoto Kaikan directly.
