Hosodaya
Authentic teahouse just beyond the summit of Mt. Takao serving famed nameko mushroom miso soup.
Feast your eyes on a full spread of views from the summit of Mt. Takao at Miharashidai before taking the path on the right that veers toward Oku-Takao. Follow the trail toward Mt. Jinba to find the coveted autumn foliage spot “Momiji-dai”, and just beyond it, a quaint little teahouse named Hosodaya.
This rustic rest stop warmly welcomes hikers with traditional fare like Takao’s famous soba, hearty miso soup with nameko mushrooms, and oden.
Their signature dish is the nameko mushroom miso soup, served steaming hot with a generous helping of mushrooms—perfect for warming up and soothing tired bodies after a hike. The miso oden, topped with their house-made miso, is another local favorite.
While many hikers turn back at the summit, those who venture just a bit farther are rewarded with a quieter, deeper experience of Takao. Enjoy local comfort food while taking in the peaceful mountain scenery.
