Very clean place. It was interesting to learn about how fish cakes are made. They have a large gift shop right by the train station, and the museum is just across the street. The museum is free unless you want to take a fish cake making class.

What a generous place, it is huge and so many things to do. They even offer free parking. You can do experience here of making kamaboko but you should make a reservation before 2pm.

I did not realize how much history there is for this product and I have a deeper appreciation for it seeing how much they put into sustainable operations, the local area and how much activities there are for both kids and adults to do here. There were walk through exhibits, demonstrations and hands on classes as well a full view of where they make their products.

When is the best time to visit Suzuhiro Kamaboko Museum (Hakone, Japan)?

In spring look for limited-edition sakura-shaped kamaboko at the tasting bar. In autumn try chestnut-flavored varieties at Suzunari Market.
