Onoji / 大野路

After enjoying the Shiroito Waterfalls and Fuji Safari Park, it was time to head back to Tokyo. But first, we had to stop somewhere for lunch. We came upon this nice little restaurant called [Onoji]. We were actually looking for a place that served houtou (a one-pot udon dish) which is indigenous to Yamanashi Prefecture and cannot be found in Shizuoka Prefecture which we were currently in. This restaurant is part of the Onoji Camp Site. As we walked into the restaurant I noticed a signed picture of the disgraced Nori-pi (Noriko Sakai). While Yukio ordered the zaru soba with tempura, I opted for a buttered stir-fried beef dish, while Mikako and Reiko decided on the pork nabe set.

白糸の滝と富士サファリパークを堪能した後、そろそろ東京に戻る時が来ました。でもその前にどっか昼食をとらないっと。本当はほうとうの店を探しましたが、ほうとうは山梨県の名物。私たちはまだ静岡県に居た為もちろんほうとうの店は見つかりませんでした。でも道の途中で「大野路」という店を発見。ここに決定。ここは大野路キャムプ場の一部でした。レストランに入るとノリピーのサイン入り写真が展示してた！友達の幸男はざる蕎麦と天ぷらを注文して、僕は牛バター炒め。美香子とレイコは豚の鍋料理をチョイス。

After lunch, we took a short walk and came across Totoro!

食べたあと、ちょっと散歩したら、トトロと出会った！

We made one more stop at a service area for snacks and a nature break. It was here that I found a melon bread shaped like Mount Fuji. And they were freshly baked and so delicious!

東京に帰るまに富士山が見えるサービスエリアに止まった。そこで富士メロンパン発見。焼き立ては美味しいわ！！

Oh no! We ate Mount Fuji!

あっ！富士山を食べてしまった！
