Great places for shopping in Ashigarashimo District in February (updated in 2025)

"Hakone Market is a commercial street near Hakone Yumoto Station. It closes very early, probably mainly for tourists. It is closed at about 6 o'clock, so you should go shopping early. The things sold here are similar to those in other shopping streets in the city, all of which are local specialties and snacks."

"The cake soup cake shop, this and the fruit shop is located in the store street in front of the station not too far from Hakone Yumoto Station. This and the fruit shop lined up almost before opening the door, and also lined up after opening the store, ranking first on the local food network. In the morning, there were many people in line and did not participate. On the way back to the hot spring hotel, I entered the store and found that only the same day's limited root cake and ordinary hot spring cakes were left. Other limited seasons and fruits were sold out. I bought a box of root cakes for the night, tasted it, praised it, really delicious."

"Hakone Mountaineering Famous Production Store Yumoto Station Front Store (Seafood Market) is not far from the station. You can see it when you walk around. When we wait for the bus, we will walk around and see it. Most of the fish products sold are some fish products, the price is more expensive, I walked around and still stopped without starting."

"It is true that there are many tourists inside, and what is sold are some local specialties. I quite like some small handmade products in Japan, which are very finely crafted. They don't eat much."

"There are many kinds of goods. The service attitude is very good and respectful. The things are very Japanese. The environment is very good and not crowded. If you come to Hakone, you must not miss it. In addition, you come to Hakone to take a hot spring bath. The transportation is very convenient. You can take the subway from Tokyo. The subway in Japan is divided into several companies. It’s a bit dizzy to look at it, but it’s fine once you are familiar with it. Do your homework before going. The scenery is great. The hot springs are famous and very clean. It is a must-see attraction"

"Hakone station we mainly to see Mount Fuji, but when we prepared in China, we have learned that to see Mount Fuji from Hakone or to take a chance, um... It should be said that it depends on the weather. If the clouds in the sky are too thick, we don't want to see Mount Fuji. In view of the weather in Kyoto Osaka two days ago, we were still a little worried about whether this time would really pass by Mount Fuji. A tea, a specialty store of traditional crafts, especially wood products, is very local and popular, is a good place to choose souvenirs."

"In fact, some small things in Japan are not cheap, but because their design is more exquisite, and the design is very practical, so it is still very good to buy back or send people, and I unconsciously chose to buy a lot."

"I arrived by boat and saw that there was a duty-free shop. I bought it and bought it. It was tax-free for 5,000. There are a lot of Hakone characteristics, and the trial is also very generous. The salesman inside is relatively old and does not speak English, but he is also smiling. He introduced it in Japanese and has been giving us a trial. I have been thanking us when I checked out, very amiable. The noodle shop next to it is not delicious and not recommended."

"The wooden work Izumiya is a small shop next to the station that sells souvenirs. When we waited for the bus, we walked to this small shop and strolled around. The goods sold were basically handmade wooden small crafts. More cute Japanese elements of the small ornaments, and many ornaments are also very well made."

"Pure handmade works, Japanese craftsmen's vision of life is actually very good, color matching is also great."
