Hakuraku Walking Guide — Rokkakubashi Shopping Street and a Record Shop

There are 4 walking spots around Hakuraku Station, ranging from a record shop to an oden counter. Three of the four sit in Rokkakubashi, Kanagawa Ward, Yokohama, while the remaining one has a Hakuraku address, so everything clusters tightly around the shopping street near the station. You can turn a single day — daytime crate-digging through a late-night bowl of ramen — into one continuous walk.

Suggested order: [Gokuraku Record](/en/spot/186c1346-b573-4e7d-bed1-cc5fbce99e6f) → [HOURS](/en/spot/9d052a85-b665-418b-8a59-0c9a3a9d2937) → [Kazusaya](/en/spot/4457d1dd-e0c2-4b94-a680-34875a321404) → [UPPERS](/en/spot/b7495d9d-263b-4965-9890-79659de6bfc6). You move from the Hakuraku address toward Rokkakubashi, hopping from one place to the next as the evening deepens.

Gokuraku Record

A record shop in Hakuraku. It carries everything from rock to plenty else, with the walls of the store filled floor to ceiling with shelves. The address is 100-5 Hakuraku, Kanagawa Ward, Yokohama — the only one of the four spots with a Hakuraku address. On top of its regular closing day it takes one more day off, so call ahead before you go.

HOURS

A shop in one corner of Rokkakubashi Shopping Street. The second floor has about 6 table seats, which suits you when you want to settle in for a while. The address is 1-7-21 Rokkakubashi, Kanagawa Ward, Yokohama. It works well as a mid-walk break after digging through records.

Kazusaya

An oden shop. Its signature feature is the U-shaped counter surrounding Ozawa-san, which reportedly turns into a kotatsu in winter. The address is 1-9-2 Rokkakubashi, Kanagawa Ward, Yokohama — the same Rokkakubashi 1-chome as HOURS. It suits anyone who enjoys that close-range distance across a counter.

UPPERS

A place in Hakuraku that stays open until late at night. It is known for a closing bowl of ramen, which makes it a fitting end to this walk. The address is 1-6-18 Rokkakubashi, Kanagawa Ward, Yokohama, in the same Rokkakubashi 1-chome as Kazusaya. It is close enough to walk straight there after your oden.

One last tip. Since 3 of the 4 spots are gathered in Rokkakubashi 1-chome, the moving around itself takes almost no effort. The one thing to watch is Gokuraku Record: because it closes one extra day beyond its regular day off, calling ahead and then building your walking order around the answer is the safest plan.
