Tucked away in the quietest corner of the hotel’s sprawling gardens lies Mokushundo, a charming restaurant housed in a Showa-era building. Here, they specialize in a unique style of stone-grilled kaiseki, where premium ingredients are prepared on lava stones sourced directly from Mount Fuji. For dinner, I experienced the exquisite ‘HANASAKURA’ Menu. Each course was a celebration of spring’s bounty, beginning with a starter of snow crab and cabbage enveloped in a delicate broth gelatin, topped with cauliflower and a bright lime foam. The appetizers followed in a beautiful procession: banded blue sprat with Udo and mustard, a chilled ajillo of shrimp and scallops, tender bamboo shoots, and guinea fowl paired with Chinese toon and savoury miso. The warm dish was a highlight—succulent cherry salmon served with canola flower and butterbur shoot, accompanied by quinoa and a wild vegetable sauce with a hint of dry-cured ham. Then came the main event: the Stone Grill. I watched in awe as abalone, Japanese spiny lobster, and two cuts of Kuroge Wagyu beef—the loin and the fillet—were seared to perfection alongside three kinds of seasonal vegetables. The meal concluded with a comforting rice set featuring seasoned rice with clam and octopus, ginger, and ciboulette, served with miso soup and pickles. For dessert, a refreshing seasonal ice cream and fresh fruits provided the perfect final note.

One of the best dining experiences you can have in Japan. There, I said it, and I’m completely serious. Why? Well, for one, the food is essentially sacred. At Mokushundō, your personal chef prepares your stone-grilled kaiseki cuisine on lava stones from Mt Fuji itself. The name of Mt Fuji carries tremendous spiritual and cultural significance in Japan as a symbol of purity, strength, beauty, and eternity. These inspirational qualities are carried through in the preparation of the meal, which is also exceptionally healthy, as the cooking is done without any oils. Since the meal is prepared before your eyes, you can be assured that everything is entirely to your complete satisfaction, with confidence that only the finest ingredients are used. The restaurant’s location, as part of the exceptionally beautiful Chinzanso Hotel, is deep within one of the great Japanese Gardens of entire the world; another element that makes this meal a wholly unique experience.

Exquisite food. Spacious room for special event like family gathering or important meeting. They served teppanyaki with fresh sea food, and beef. The assigned room has a beautiful colored leaves and water flow view. Additionally, iI could enjoy a natural Japanese style garden that Chinzanso hotel braces. Definitely, it’s worth it!
