富士山パンケーキ

fujikawaguchiko sits at the base of fuji, drawing visitors who come for the mountain and often leave surprised by what else they found. 富士山パンケーキ is on the first floor of the noborisaka hotel's new wing in funatsu, which puts it in a part of town where you're more likely to be walking off a lake view than hunting for specialty coffee. that gap between expectation and reality is part of why the place has landed well with locals. it's not trying to compete with anything urban, just doing what it does in a spot that happens to be good for it. if you're spending any time in fujikawaguchiko, funatsu is worth the detour, and the pancakes are the thing to order.
