What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

A long-established soba restaurant founded in 1934, known as the birthplace of Hakone soba. The signature 'natural yam soba' was devised by the owner using mountain yam dug from the Hakone mountains, made only with buckwheat flour, yam, and eggs. An overwhelming 2,087 Tabelog reviews prove its popularity with both locals and tourists.

The constant refrain is 'if you come to Hakone, you must eat this soba.' The natural yam soba stays firm even after time passes, making it popular as take-home soba too. 282 TripAdvisor reviews, 4.2 stars. Expect queues.
