Unagi Pie Factory — Attraction in Hamamatsu

Interesting factory and you can see behind the scene of the making of Unagi Pie from behind a glass window. The entrance is free and they give you a small gift of Unagi pie at the entrance. On the website, it is mentioned that you can reserved a special tour. The place is pretty small and you can explore the place in 10-15 minutes. Other than exploring, there is a video you can watch about the factory itself (I believe it was all in Japanese and no (English)subtitle). There is a nice cafe that was the best and unique experience of the entire visit of this place. Lastly, there is a souvenir shop. Outside there is also a truck where they sell ice desserts. As everyone mentioned, it is recommend to visit here if you have a car. The place is quite far from tge nearest station. I walked from the factory to the closest Aeon shopping mall and it takes about 30 minutes. The closes bus stop takes you around 20 minutes walk up and down hill( not to mention the bus comes very seldom). I would not recommend to go here the way I did...

If you want unagi pie confections without having to walk or taxi out into an agricultural zone, every major train station and tourist stop sells these snacks.

No matter how I tried to route it, Google Maps couldn't provide me with a feasible route via bus to get here, with the closest bus stop to the Unagi Pie Factory in front of an Aeon Shopping Mall. From this stop, it'll take 30 minutes to walk to the factory through farmland with some unpleasant overgrowth on sidewalks.

The factory itself was pretty neat; witnessing the process of creating and baking this famous sweet snack was fascinating.

The restaurant upstairs incorporates the namesake snack into every conceivable dish, so expect dessert dishes to exceed your expectations in terms of sweetness.

The gift shop on the ground floor of the factory also has some seasonal or exclusive...

Very fun and interesting experience but a few things to note: It's very far from the train station. You would have to take a taxi which is about a 10-15 min drive back and forth. Overall experience only takes 30min. It's a small place. Not fully english friendly

However, it's still fun to see the factory in motion and the main attraction is the cafe with the yummy desserts! Of course, make sure to buy some treats...
