Biker's Paradise Minami Hakone

Located along the ridges of Mount Hakone, this bike-exclusive drive-in facility spans an impressive 20,000 square meters, complete with park for approximately 3,000 motorcycles. Unlike typical roadside stations, visitors must pay an entrance fee to access the facility, a unique feature of this biker haven.

The spacious on-site café keeps enough seating for 200 to accommodate all its rider fans. On the menu you’ll find classic bites like pizza, curry rice, single-origin teas, and soft-serve ice cream. A highlight is the specialty coffee, hand-dripped to perfection using beans roasted in a dedicated workshop. Many bikers visit just for a taste of this exceptional brew, enjoying it with a view of Mt. Fuji and Sagami Bay.

Inside you’ll even find a chance to check the impressive lineup of the latest rental motorcycle models. If you’ve prepped an international driver’s license for your trip, this is the spot to grab a rental and hit the winding roads surrounding the area. For those without a license, the e-TRAIL PARK offers an electric off-road bike course open to anyone 16 and older.

As a bonus perk, there’s even a curated selection of goods at the boutique shop and modern art exhibits inspired by motorcycles, ensuring a relaxing and enriching experience for visitors.
