Welcome to cafe KOMON, a hidden gem nestled in the stunning landscape of Hakone, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan. Just moments away from the picturesque Lake Ashinoko, this cafe not only tantalizes your taste buds but also offers breathtaking views that enhance the overall dining experience.

At cafe KOMON, the cuisine is a delightful celebration of Japanese flavors, with a focus on fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Among their standout dishes, the Hitsumabushi rice bowl is a must-try. This luxurious dish features generous portions of tender, lean Japanese beef, seasoned to perfection and enhanced by the addition of seasonal ingredients like myoga ginger, scallions, and freshly grated wasabi from Shizuoka.

Service and staff we excellent. We had a beautiful view of the lake. We got lunch here at around 11:00 and it was not busy at all. The food presentation was beautiful and delicious. I would highly recommend it. This cafe is next to the pirate ship sightseeing cruise..

This place was amazing!! We stopped in for lunch in the middle of our lake cruise and the food was phenomenal! There was a short wait, only about 10 mins at most to get a table for a group of 7. The food was fresh and delicious. The grill your own mochi and build your own daifuku was the coolest and most delicious thing ever! We got both and loved it. We would highly recommend stopping here!

We had lunch at Cafe Komon. The food was truly delicious! ● Esp the roast beef set. Lunch = Katsu Set Rice (¥1450) + Roast Beef Salad (¥1650). ???? Cafe Kumon has a lovely view of Lake Ashinoko and sitting there eating and staring out at the lake, we felt so at peace and am grateful for everything. ???? The Togendai Pirate Cruise Ship had let us alight at Hakone Machi-Ko village's jetty.

Hitsumabushi rice bowl with fresh wasabi was excellent.. Simple, delicious Japanese flavors.. Pork cutlet was also well done with exceptionally crispy breading. View of the lake was a nice bonus.

The atmosphere was amazing. It was nice and peaceful to just soak in the beautiful scenery. We managed to get a window seat which is a bonus! We ordered 2 desserts and it was amazing. Everything felt nice and fresh. I really like the red bean mochi!

We ordered the rice bowl with steak (Hitsumabushi), stone bowl Hamburg steak with rice, and green salad with 6 kinds of beans. All the dishes were beautiful and tasted great! The stone bowl came over a fire so the rice was crispy underneath. The atmosphere was peaceful and view was outstanding. Would come back again! Would love to try the desserts but want to try other places.
