    人によっては揚げパンやカレ-パンがおいしいと投稿していますが、食パンがおいしいです。ト-ストせずサンドイッチに使えば、きめ細かく柔らかでほんのり甘い毎日使いのパン。焼き肉挟んだりジャム塗ってもおいしい。高級有名店のパンは高くて毎食とはいかないがオギノパンなら財布に優しい。難点は遠いです。

    This is a facility where one can try “jigoku mushi (literally, hell steaming),” a traditional cooking method passed down from the Edo era in which foods are steamed to degrees of up to 98°C using the hot steam from the hot spring water, and the rapid process condenses their flavor.

Inside the facility are also exhibits on the history of Kanawa, hot springs and hell steaming, a drinking area, and free-to-use foot steamer and bath.

    This place is popular, we waited an hour though the queue is very well managed. We weren’t so hungry so we shared a vegetable platter and the manjuku buns. Very cool experience to steam the food...

    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.
