Biker's Paradise Minami Hakone

Biker's Paradise Minami Hakone is a motorcycle-oriented roadside hub near the Hakone/Yugawara pass in Kannami, offering a café, showroom, retail and event space tailored to riders. It opened in 2019 and operates as a meeting spot and base for touring the Hakone/Izu roads.

On-site highlights include a large relaxed dining area, rotating bike exhibits and rentals, a shop with gear and souvenirs, media/library resources and occasional manufacturer or community events. The venue is designed for short stops or longer meetups for touring riders.
