Just a short walk from Hakone-Yumoto Station along the Ekimae-dori shopping street, Chimoto Ekimae Dori Store is a Japanese confectionery shop renowned for Yumochi, an officially designated confectionery of Kanagawa Prefecture. Crafted from shiratamako and meringue, the mochi is so soft that it sinks under a gentle finger touch; unwrapping the bamboo skin releases a burst of yuzu fragrance, balanced by the subtle sweetness of chopped yokan that rounds out the finish. Visitors also appreciate the ability to purchase treats individually, such as Hachiri, a monaka shaped like a packhorse bell, Yogoro Shinobu, featuring sweet chunky red bean paste sandwiched in fragrant white sesame and peanut wafers, and deeply herbal kusa dango. Its reputation for rustic, gentle sweetness comes from minimizing additives to let the ingredients shine. The shop is completely non-smoking, easily accessible with children and strollers, and offers menus in English, Chinese, and Korean. It is a reliable stop both for replenishing sweets during sightseeing and for choosing Hakone souvenirs.
