Cute, traditional place - Edit
There really aren’t that many options in Hakone but this place at least has some vegan options and some more marked as vegetarian. We were very happy with our food and options, even though they were quite limited.

Nice small sushi resturant with vegetarian option - Edit
Very hard to find better vegetarian friendly option in Hakone. I tried to have lunch in another cafe but Kappei is probably the best one.

Clearly marked vegetarian options - Edit
The sign in the window mentions vegetarian items, which is unusual for this area. There are a couple of sushi options and tofu pockets filled with rice, all of which are really nice.

the truth about inari - Edit
Hate to break it to y'all, but inari is made using dashi (fish broth). It is neither truly vegetarian or vegan. :(

Nah inari's good! It's just that sometimes they use it as flavouring in the rice, which is mostly only really a problem if you go to an upper end sushi bar. You just have to double check whenever you go anywhere that serves rice.
Read moreBelieve me, I'm hardcore allergic to fish and these inari were delicious; I would not be typing this comment if they had added dashi.

so good! - Edit
I'd give it 5 stars but it's not fully vegetarian so I'm not allowed? Stupid. Anyways, the sushi here was so good. I ate so fast because I couldn't slow down. I got a veggie mix, it's right under the cucumber roll on the menu. It's the same price and you get to try a variety. Edamame was so good as well. Also, it was my first time trying the tofu sushi but it tasted almost like a dessert. Loved every bite! The owner asked if we wanted water or green tea, and we opted for green tea (there's cups there is you want water too). It was a bit on the pricier side, especially for the meat eaters. My boyfriend wanted a variety but just one was about 1700 yen so he got some other things. Oh yeah, he also loved my rolls!

Finally found somewhere in Hakone. - Edit
Thank you Happy Cow for helping us find this gem. We had a tray of cucumber sushi, a tray of the best inari I have eaten and a couple of plates of cucumber sticks with the yummiest miso garlic sauce. All of it made fresh right then and there. I thoroughly recommend tracking this place down if you are in the area.

Nice veggie and meat/fish options - Edit
Hubby was very happy with the fish here. It has. Even hard to find places that have good options for both meat / non-meat eaters. Inari was really good.

A hidden gem - Edit
Me and my Mum came here for lunch while on a 2 night stop over between Tokyo and Kyoto. Lovely little restaurant, when we went in it was full but the staff gave us a seat while we waited and offered water and green tea. Delicious food and beautiful presented, not too expensive, around 3000¥ between the two of us for 4 dishes plus drinks. Have offer of lunch boxes for take away. Would recommend finding if you are ever around.

Veg sushi in Hakone - Edit
Great little spot with tasty veg sushi in Hakone (a place with limited veg choices). We had cucumber maki, inari, edamame and cucumber with garlic miso.
Read moreVery affordable and quick service.
Be warned, a family arriving 2 minutes after us were turned away for no apparent reason - this place may close early! Also note, public transport seems to shut down around 8pm in Hakone so go for an early dinner or be prepared to pay for a taxi if you're not staying in the same area.
Pros: Cheap, Veg-friendly
