Roadside Station Fujiyoshida’s official visitor page says the food outlet named Little Kitchen (りとるきっちん) ended operations after October 18 as part of a renewal. This is not a notice that the entire roadside station has closed: the same page separately lists a light-meal counter serving Yoshida udon, a local-products shop and an information desk.
Key Facts For Travelers
What Has Changed — And What Has Not
The notice specifically names Little Kitchen, not every food service at the roadside station. Its final service date is October 18 during the renewal. Do not interpret a saved listing, old review or map marker for Little Kitchen as proof that it is still serving food.
The same official page continues to list a distinct light-meal counter where visitors can try Yoshida udon. It also lists the local-products shop, information desk and water-filling area separately. These published listings are useful for planning, but they are not a guarantee of a particular menu item or same-day availability.
How To Plan A Food Stop
If you mainly wanted a Little Kitchen meal, choose another dining stop or confirm the currently listed light-meal counter before you travel. Aim to arrive well before its listed 16:00 closing time; late-afternoon arrivals should not count on a hot meal at the station.
The official page has not supplied a reopening date for Little Kitchen and says further details will be announced later. Fujiyoshida City has described a broader roadside-station renewal with a new facility targeted for October, but a target is not confirmation that any new dining venue is open. Check the current operator page for a newer notice.
Getting There Without A Car
The official access guide lists a bus from Fujisan Station to Fujisan Museum Park-mae, followed by a walk of about five minutes. Check the bus operator’s current schedule for your travel date before depending on it for a timed lunch stop.
Drivers can use the free station parking identified on the official page. Medium and large vehicles are directed to the Radar Dome Park-front lot rather than the main roadside-station lot.
Featured Image Fit
The featured artwork is an original conceptual illustration, not a photograph of the actual Little Kitchen or a map of the station. Its closed counter and separate open udon counter convey the exact service distinction in this advisory at thumbnail size.
Traveler Actions
- Do not assume Little Kitchen is available from October 19 onward.
- If planning to eat at the station, check the separate light-meal counter’s current service and aim to arrive before 16:00.
- For a later travel date, check the operator’s official page for renewal updates; no Little Kitchen reopening date is confirmed.
- If driving a medium or large vehicle, use the designated Radar Dome Park-front parking area.
- Confirm food and shop hours directly with the station if your itinerary leaves little flexibility.
