Sushi Miyafuji

This is a short 5 minute walk from Fujiya hotel with a semi-late last order at 7:30 pm, open every day except Tuesday. (Open for lunch 11:30-2:30, dinner 5:30-7:30.) If you're staying at the Fujiya Hotel, ask the hotel for a map of the outside restaurants to get easy directions. We had the most perfect omakase (chef’s choice) for about 2800 yen each. Each sushi was perfect, we even had a piece I had never had before – half tuna and half toro, where the chef must have had had a cut right between tuna meat and the belly. Everything was perfectly prepared, the fish was room temperature and the chef had pre-seasoned each piece of sushi. The omakase that we got would easily run $50 in United States at the restaurant we get, and probably twice the price in Tokyo. We kept on commenting how perfect the sushi was, and ordered a second omakase to share, because it was so good. We were rewarded with even better cuts of fish – the chef said he changed it up a bit, but I also think the chef rewards loyalty. This is the Japan sushi you dream of, right in a little town of Hakone. If you’re a foodie, there’s no need to waste meals, head to Miyanoshita and have the real thing. The Hokane Tozan bus runs relatively late, so you can get here from Hakone-Yomoto, too. If we were to stay at the Fujiya Hotel again, we would probably come here every night.
