If you're visiting Hakone and have a sweet tooth, Hakone Teramisu is a delightful stop that should be high on your list. I discovered this little dessert shop while strolling near Hakone-Yumoto Station, and it turned out to be one of the most charming and memorable treats of my trip.
As the name suggests, their specialty is teramisu, but with a Japanese twist. The desserts come beautifully packaged in small, reusable glass jars — perfect for on-the-go snacking or as a cute souvenir. The shop itself is modern yet cozy, with a clean aesthetic and a tempting display of their signature jars lined up like colorful gems.
I tried the classic teramisu ice cream and the seasonal edition. Each one was creamy, light, and full of flavor without being overly sweet. The staff were incredibly friendly and spoke a bit of English, making it easy to ask questions about the flavors and ingredients. They also carefully wrapped my purchases to keep them cool and intact during travel — a thoughtful touch that really stood out. Prices are reasonable considering the quality and presentation. It’s the kind of place that shows attention to detail and pride in its product.
