We at Snow Monkey Resorts love to try new cafes, and this cafe in Hakone is a must visit! Located just a stone’s throw away from Miyanoshita station, this cafe used to be an old Ryokan or Japanese style inn built overlooking the stunning greenery of the Mountains.

At Naraya Cafe you can enjoy a variety of hot and cold food, sweets, coffee and matcha. We recommend you try their matcha lattes and ’Monaka’. A traditional Japanese sweet which consists of a wafer filled with sweet red bean paste. To make it even more special, the cafe has a free foot bath which can be enjoyed all year round.

It is especially nice in the Autumn and Winter months, and makes you truly appreciate the geothermal energy Hakone possesses. The cafe also has a small shop selling local pottery and ceramics! We suggest stopping off at the cafe for refreshments before making your way to Gora station to ride the Hakone ropeway to Owakudani!  

Naraya cafe opened its doors in 2007, but the building the cafe is built in is actually an old traditional Ryokan (Japanese Inn) that is over 300 years old. The Inn used to be used for travellers walking along the old road that led to and from Tokyo. The cafe is closed on Wednesdays, and the fourth Thursday each month. So make sure to plan ahead before visiting.
