Breakfast at setsugekka hotel is Japanese style. It has rice, miso soup, raw egg and broiled fish, et al. Of course, Natto. Eating natto with hot rice is the best ever.

Dinner at setsugekka hotel is traditional Japanese style, from appetizers, shabu shabu, sushi, tempra, sashimi, to dessert. It is good taste and staff service is excellent.
Hakone short trip(1) - Good dinner and Onsen
Last week, I went to Hakone, a traditional Japanese hot springs resort. It is about an hour and a half minutes from Shinjuku via the Odakyu Line. The ride up to Hakone from Shinjuku is quite nice. You get a nice view of Mt. Fuji, and also Odawara castle near the end of the trip.
I stayed at Hakone-Gora, Setsugetsuka hotel (雪月花ホテル). In this hotel, I can enjoy five different hot springs, very good Japanese traditional dinner, breakfast. Before dinner, as soon as I arrived, I dressed up in the Yukata that everyone wears there and go to Hot Spring!!
This is Gora Station (強羅駅). It is a terminal railway station on the Hakone Tozan Line as well as the Hakone Tozan Cable Car. At an altitude of 533 metres (1,749 ft), it is the highest railway station in Kanagawa Prefecture.

What's the Mentaiko Park? : Ibaraki Short Trip
Mentaiko (明太子) is one of popular japanese foods. If you love it, I will recommend for you to visit the Mentaiko Park in Ibaraki. You can buy various mentaiko foods there. And you can try food samples, know the history of Mentaiko, enjoy the factory tour. They are all free :)))
This is a mentaiko. Mentaiko is egg of Theragra chalcogramma seasoned with a spicy source. It is delicious on their own or with rice.
I love Unaju and Tendon
Today's dinner are an Unaju (うな重, 鰻重) and Tendon (天丼). They are popular cuisines in Japan.
Unaju is made with rice and unagi kabayaki, grilled eel coated with a special sweet sauce. Una (うな) means a eel and Ju (重) means an a black box. This Unaju was very good, which is served by my favorite small restaurant :D
This is Tendon (天丼). Tendon is a rice bowl cuisine made with fritters of seasonal vegetables and seafoods. Ten (天) means fritters, don (丼) means rice bowl. Today's Tendon, fitter of asparagus was very good :)
