    Kanagawa Pref. Ashigarashimogunhakonemachi Hatajuku Nikozan 395-28
    This is a Japanese tea house with 400years of tradition located in a dangerous spot of the Tokaido road, halfway up Mt. Hakone. During the Edo period, the tea house was used as a rest area before the Hakone checking station, while nowadays it is more familiar as a rest area for hikers walking through Hakone. The production process for “amazake” (a traditional Japanese drink made from fermented rice) has remained unchanged since ancient times, using koji (rice malt) has been used in the fermentation process since the Edo period; the amazake is non-alcoholic, has a gentle sweetness even though it is produced without sugar, so it has been used to good advantage by travelers to get rid of fatigue. There are also packs of amazake which you can buy to take home. One of the shop’s specialties is also “Chikara-mochi” (a glutinous rice cake) which is gently baked over charcoal until it puffs up.

    Our guide took us to this chaya for amazake. Its the only remaining chaya in the area with an old building from the Edo era. Worth a stop to see the building and a taste of old Japan.

    Kanagawa Pref. Ashigarashimogunhakonemachi Yumoto 690
    This café in Hakone Town, Ashigarashimo County, Kanagawa Prefecture allows guests to try Japanese sweets from the long-established Japanese sweet shop Yumochi Honpo Chimoto together with Japanese tea. The shop interior based on white has gentle curves which give it an atmosphere like that of a museum. It is popular to enjoy the fresh-made Japanese sweets such as the well-known yumochi, in which yokan (red bean jelly) has been sliced and placed inside the soft mochi (rice dumplings), and warabi-mochi (bracken flour rice dumplings) as a set with Japanese tea. In summer they also offer shaved ice with a soft, fluffy texture.

    運よく席が空いており入れました。前回箱根に来たときは、列ができていては入れなかったです。季節を感じられるメニューで、値段も高すぎず、おしゃれな空間でゆっくりできました。

    仙石原のすすき草原の無料駐車場からすすき草原を見に行く道筋にある甘味処です。 今回は店内には入らず、店先のベンチでバニラあんソフトクリームを頂きました。 ソフトクリーム+あんとよもぎ団子。 すすき草原をさんぽした後、天気も良い日だったので、とても美味しく感じました。 ご馳走様でした。

Kanagawa Areas

around-area-map

Kanagawa prefecture acts as an extension of the Tokyo metropolis that spills over into coastal towns, most notably Yokohama city, heavily populated and known for its Chinatown and seaside attractions. Just the right distance for a day trip out of Tokyo, Kanagawa is home to some of Tokyo’s most accessible beaches, including around Kamakura, best known for its Big Buddha. Visitors can also travel a little farther afield for a weekend at Hakone onsen town.
