About this spot

A dessert shop run by an ice merchant founded in the Meiji period, cutting natural ice in the mountains of Chichibu. Their signature shaved ice—fluffy and delicately melting with generous homemade syrup—draws long lines. Located along the Hodosan Shrine path, it's perfect for a rest before visiting the shrine.

Tips

Expect long lines on holidays. Use the wait time to stroll the shrine path. The shaved ice portions are generous, so sharing with children works well. Bring a light layer as the cold treat can cool you down.
