This bakery is definitely a must-try in Hakone! Twice I've been here and they always have new fresh bakes. Go for the ones that are fresh out of the oven. Previously I had the red bean paste bun but this time round it wasn't as fantastic cos it was cold.

This curry egg bun came piping hot, fluffy with crisp crunch of Rice Krispies, encasing Japanese curry with egg within. Loved the different textures you can get in one mouthful, and the bun held really well - didn't even become soggy. Probably (almost) makes for a meal because this was exactly what we had for lunch. Even @cweizhi who usually don't like jap curry gave in and got one for herself! 😂

If you've got the time, hang out at the granite tables right outside the bakery for the gorgeous lake view, watch the world roll by and get a free foot-bath in the hot spring water before embarking on more walks! Your feet will thank you.
