A Souvenir Shop for the Perfect End of Your Journey, Featuring German Sweets and Naruto Specialties
About this spot
A roadside station adjacent to the Naruto German Hall, where the merchandise building is a relocated barracks from the Bandō Prisoner-of-War Camp. It is registered as a nationally designated important cultural property—a rare roadside station where you can select souvenirs inside a historic building. The shop displays an array of German-inspired confections including baumkuchen, sweets using Naruto sweet potato, and local specialties such as Naruto wakame seaweed and Naruto lotus root. Conclude your day's historic journey with souvenir selections that encapsulate the two unique stories of Bandō: the pilgrimage vow and Japan-Germany exchange.
Tips
Share free parking with the German Hall, so no vehicle movement is necessary. Popular items like Naruto sweet potato sweets may sell out, so secure items of interest early. Cash payment is most reliable.
Best time to visit
Approximately 1 hour required. Late afternoon visits allow you to stop by in the lingering mood of the German Hall visit and browse souvenirs leisurely.
