Good option

I found it a bit tough to find some vegan options in Hakone area, but this was a good and decent place. They changed their menu, the vegan Set isn't available anymore. They offer 2 different Kind of Currys, the one I had was very good.

Good vegan options in a sparse area

I'm a big fan of no-nonsense dining. This place is a fairly typical shokudo but the food was pretty good! There are two vegan curry options, a pasta, and two noodle sets. I had the straight up vegetable curry and it was very satisfying, perhaps a little on the sweet side but that's to the taste of the local palette. I had a hunch some of the other dishes could probably be customised but I prefer to order those labelled veg to be less of a bother.
Sadly they couldn't veganise the broth-based noodle dishes. Some of those only used animal ingredients in the broth but otherwise looked great!

Good vegan choices

In an area with not a lot of choice it was nice to see a place with a vegan specific menu. There are also some other vegetarian dishes which are vegan.

Pros: Good vegan / vegetarian choices , Simple food in good location , Polite staff

Vegan lunch with view on the lake

After searching the town for something to eat, we entered this restaurant with the intention of ordering only a rice bowl. What a surprise when the waitress told us there was a vegan ("vegetarian") menu !
It was curry but when we mentioned gluten allergy she went to the kitchen and showed us another lunch they could make with udon noodles and vegetables as a fondue, and it could be made gluten free with potato noodles!

The noodles fondue was not the most tasty meal we had in japan but the kindness of the staff made us really appreciate it.
It was also served with tea hoji-cha and grape (budō) jiuce. The price was OK (~1400¥) for a set.

Pros: Only place with vegan options we could find, Staff was very nice, Familial place

Cons: Only open for lunch, Not all staff speak english
