Homemade buckwheat noodles. From cold to hot noodle pair with fresh and crispy tempura. Fresh ingredients and generous portion. End with buckwheat tea for better health (said the owner). I personally find if the noodle can boiled to slightly softer would be perfect. Simple home cook taste.
There is plenty of parking for customers.

We had yummy soba and udon there. The meat ball inside the soup is exceptionally fresh. The grilled chicken is also unbeatable. Highly recommended if you want to have noodles and grilled chicken

Delicious food. Got the oyakodon and the duck udon (pics included).
The duck is pretty gamey but the flavor seeps very well in the udon broth. If you don't like the gamey-ness, then add a generous amount of the spiced salt on it to accentuate the richness.
Ignore the 1 star ratings, this place is much better than the 3.6 star rating it has at the time of this review. Two of the 1 star ratings are because they refused service when they were closed and when they were upset at a customer who brought in a used and soiled diaper and asked the customer to throw it away.

I liked the soba. It was nice to find a restaurant open near the Hakone Yutowa hotel.
