RAITEI

RAITEI is a soba (buckwheat noodle) and kaiseki (course meal) restaurant where you can enjoy seasonal flavors in natural surroundings that change with the seasons. The main building of RAITEI was originally built in the Edo Period as a wealthy farmer’s residence in Yokohama, but was subsequently relocated and renovated into a residence that combines Western and Japanese styles. The San-Mon temple gate also dates back to the Edo Period and was relocated from Koshou-ji Temple. Both the main building and main gate are registered tangible cultural properties. The garden covers 50,000 square meters and contains numerous stone Buddhist images, stone pagodas, Hakkaku-dou Hall and more. It is a strolling garden that allows you to enjoy seasonal nature and bamboo groves while looking out over Mt. Fuji, Hakone, and Sagami Bay.
