Yuba-don Naokichi
湯葉丼 直吉
A yuba rice bowl specialist next to Hakone-Yumoto Station, where yuba made with Hime-no-mizu spring water and soy milk takes center stage.
About a 3-minute walk from Hakone-Yumoto Station, this is a convenient lunch stop on the sightseeing shopping street. The signature yuba-don tops rice with yuba made from soy milk and Hime-no-mizu, Odaira's renowned spring water. Its flavor is light, and a single bowl costs about JPY 1,200. A set with tofu and yuba sashimi is about JPY 1,800, and the Gozen set is about JPY 2,400. Yuba zenzai dessert is also available. When the restaurant is busy, guests are given queue numbers. One review reported a wait of about 100 minutes at lunch on a June 2026 holiday. There is no parking lot. Cards and PayPay are accepted. Closed on Tuesdays; open as usual on public holidays.
Opening hours
11:00–18:30 (last order 18:00); closed Tuesdays, open on public holidays; may close early if the yuba sells out
