Welcome Families! Two Recommended Cafes and Restaurants Perfect for Young Children
Café Blue Blanc
Café Blue Blanc, located at the foot of Mt. Fuji, is a charming cafe with a blue and white exterior. The interior features a calming wood-themed design, making it perfect for resting after a full day of exploring the Mt. Fuji area.
The cafe offers spacious table seating and tatami areas, ensuring comfort for families with small children. One appealing feature is the play area in the tatami section, where children can enjoy toys while waiting for their food.
The food menu primarily features the owner's original dishes using home-grown vegetables and fresh fish. My recommendation is their hearty omurice (omelet rice), featuring fluffy eggs atop rice and a delicious tomato sauce packed with vegetables.
The availability of a kids' menu makes it easy for each family member to order according to their preferences.

"Resort Dining FUJIYAMA Terrace" offers views of Mt. Fuji and the amusement park's night scenery through its windows. Dining while enjoying Japan's majestic scenery makes for an extraordinary experience.
This buffet-style restaurant takes pride in ingredients nurtured in the rich natural environment around Mt. Fuji. The buffet style is particularly appealing for children who might not be accustomed to Japanese food, as they can choose their preferred dishes.
Another attractive feature is the live kitchen, where you can enjoy freshly prepared dishes.

"Cafe Shizen" offers panoramic views of nature, including Mt. Fuji, through its windows.
Outdoor-loving families will surely appreciate the wood-themed atmosphere and the unobstructed view of the landscape extending to Mt. Fuji. It's a perfect spot for kids to relax freely, ideal for refreshing after long travels or hotel stays.
I especially recommend viewing "Red Fuji" (AkaFuji) from Cafe Shizen during sunset, when Mt. Fuji is dyed red. The sight of Red Fuji gradually disappearing into shadows offers a unique charm different from its powerful daytime appearance.
Cafe Shizen also allows visitors to enjoy and purchase wines from the adjacent winery.
As a spot where you can experience both Japanese scenery and flavors simultaneously, Cafe Shizen is perfect for creating memorable tourist experiences.

Located on the shores of Lake Kawaguchiko, one of the Fuji Five Lakes and a popular resort area, "Mina no Hiroba" offers a magnificent view of Mt. Fuji. The facility features "Dim Sum Cafe," a restaurant where you can enjoy authentic dim sum paired with wine. My recommendation is their unique pairing menu that combines dim sum (Chinese light meals) with wine - an interesting and unexpected combination.
Mina no Hiroba also has an outdoor BBQ area.

Two Japanese Restaurants Where Both Children and Adults Can Have Fun
When visiting Japan with family, we recommend restaurants where you can experience authentic Japanese culture. Here are two establishments perfect for both adults and kids.
Sanrokuen

Sanrokuen offers traditional Japanese dining using irori (traditional hearth) while providing spectacular views of Mt. Fuji through its windows. In old Japanese houses, irori were sunken fireplaces in the floor used for heating rooms with firewood and charcoal. They feature pots hung from the ceiling and can be used to grill skewered ingredients.
At Sanrokuen, each table has its own irori where you can warm up fresh skewered ingredients and hot pot dishes right in front of you. Both adults and children get excited by the crackling sound of burning charcoal and the appetizing aroma of heated food. Gathering around the fire with family while discussing the day's adventures creates precious moments.
