Why it matters for anime fans
Nobody needs to fly to Japan for a bookmark. But every Evangelion trip to Hakone starts and ends at Hakone-Yumoto Station, and Eva-ya is right inside it. If you are there anyway, this autumn you leave with something that will not be there next year.
What you can see and do
The official Evangelion shop in Hakone. During the fair, the bookmark comes on top of whatever you buy.
Tickets, booking and limited items
- No booking or ticket. Just go in during opening hours.
- One bookmark for every ¥3,000 you spend, tax included. You cannot choose the design.
- Stock is limited and the fair ends when it runs out, with no end date announced.
Getting there
Eva-ya is on the ground floor of Hakone-Yumoto Station, so you walk in as you arrive or before your train home. For the Romancecar, the Hakone Freepass and getting around Hakone, see Hakone Transport & Tickets.
Where to stay
The fair does not change where to stay. If you want a cheaper night close to the station, one option is below. For ryokan and hotels on the Evangelion route, see Where to Stay in Hakone.
Posada Suimei
The annex of Hakone Suimeiso, about 2 min on foot from Hakone-Yumoto Station, aimed at people travelling alone. A budget base next to the station.
