Located near Tamasaki Shrine and a 10-minute walk from JR Sotobo Line Kazusa-Ichinomiya Station, Okashitsukasa Kakuhachi Honten is a venerable confectionery shop established in the Kansei era of the Edo period. Known for its traditional Japanese sweets, the shop is particularly famous for its seasonal fruit-filled daifuku, such as the popular mikan (mandarin orange) daifuku, featuring a whole frozen mandarin orange inside. Other favorites include strawberry daifuku and peanut-themed sweets, reflecting the local Chiba flavors. It's an ideal spot to pick up local treats and souvenirs after visiting the shrine.
