Jul.31.25

Kinnotake Resorts is pleased to announce the top 5 best-selling dishes at Cafe Dining LüDERA, a renovated traditional home café nestled in the peaceful woods of Sengokuhara, Hakone—one of Japan’s favorite summer getaways.

As global travel trends shift toward “silent travel,” sustainability, and local connection, LüDERA has become a destination of choice for visitors seeking calm, comfort, and a deeper connection with nature. In the first half of 2025 alone, the café welcomed over 11,000 guests—nearly 20% of whom were international travelers.

Popular for anniversaries, workations, and pet-friendly visits, LüDERA offers a warm, flexible space that blends natural charm with culinary delight.

Top 5 Most Popular Dishes (Jan–Jun 2025)
No.1 Hakone LüDERA Burger – A juicy 150g patty made with local Ashigara beef, topped with a refreshing house-made sauce.

No.2 Basque Cheesecake – Rich yet light, with notes of honey and brown sugar; deeply flavorful as it ages.

No.3 Ashigara Beef & Mushroom Ragu Pasta – A rich, slow-simmered dish with red wine and cheese.

No.4 Shrimp Cobb Salad – Plump shrimp and 7 vibrant veggies, accented with tobiko and pink pepper.

No.5 MASAKARI Burger – A bold, seasonal double-patty burger (250g), spiced with a punchy special sauce.

Coming Soon: Hakone’s Own Craft Beer Brewery
Plans are underway to open a craft beer brewery next to LüDERA, with beer-pairing menu items and direct sales through both the café and international e-commerce. The initiative will also deepen collaborations with Kinnotake Saryo, a sister ryokan just 10 minutes away, now offering flexible stay options.

LüDERA continues to offer a new kind of Hakone experience—quiet, flavorful, and personal.
