Shopping
in Hakone.
A little puzzle. A clever piece of wood.

01 / A sense of place
Something to look for.
Hakone and neighbouring Odawara share woodcraft connections. Ask what the piece is and who made it.
For a considered purchase: A more intricate secret-opening box, with the instructions kept safely.
02 / Find your bearings
A few good places to browse.
Start with one or two stops. Check the official pages for current opening days, access and shop information before setting out.
The map loads when opened. Pins mark verified shopping locations and browsing areas. Use the individual map links for every shop’s detailed location and entrance.

Hatajuku craft village
