Kobaido is a venerable confectionery shop near Manyo Park in Yugawara, renowned as the originator of Yugawara's famous "kibi mochi" (millet rice cake), a designated Kanagawa Prefecture specialty. Established over a century ago, this shop is known for its traditional sweets loved by notable figures like Shimazaki Toson. Arrive early, especially on weekends, as their popular kibi mochi often sells out by midday. Besides kibi mochi, they offer other traditional sweets like onsen manju and karukan manju. It's conveniently located near a bus stop, making it an ideal last stop for souvenirs.
