Boulangerie Jin

we arrive in the morning before it open but there is already a short que. there is only one lady working so we understand. the pastries are served fresh and very affordable price. we just wish there were coffee/beverage available so it will go so well as a morning breakfast before going back to a long drive to another destination!

The croissant is really good, probably the best you can get in a 100km radius. The shop itself is a cute little place out in the country and it’s really beautiful. The prices are really good (200yen for croissant) and I can’t wait to try more of the breads. Pain au chocolat was really good too.

The shop is cash only so be prepared for that. Also enter the shop one group at a time as it’s really small. Also don’t take pictures inside the shop, I was told off for it because I didn’t see the little no pictures sign below the counter :( nonetheless a fantastic boulangerie, would come here again!

Well, its one of those "Been there, done that" places in Japan - the middle of nowhere bakery that is 25 mins out of Hirafu. Croissants are indeed something to rave about.
3 main things to note when visiting the bakery:
1) Only 1 group at a time into the bakery. Wait outside
2) No toilets. Nearest one is 5 mins away Konbini at Makkari town
3) No photography inside

I wanted to visit this place for a long time, after reading the book about this place, letters exchanged between Jin, and the architect Nakamura. It was out of nowhere and hard to get to place. I took a taxi and it cost me a fortune. But it was worth it. Amazing place, kind owner, and interior and everything was as I expected. Breads were good as well. I only wish I could met Jin. Hopefully I go back one day!

I am very lucky to be introduced to this Amazing bakery which is situated right in a forest. 😍 Its pastries are amazingly good, especially the chocolate croissants. The butter croissants are fantastic.
Go for the chocolate croissants..
They will sell you 6 pcs only.. lol 😂.. To be fair to other queuing customers.

Best bakery in Japan !!
Fresh french style croissant and pain au chocolat.
After few years living in Japan, I'm glad to eat a real crunchy bread.

Superb bakery!! IMPORTANT TIP: things sell out quickly so try to arrive early. Google says it's open till 17:00 but we arrived at 13:30 on a wednesday and most items were sold out.
Note that there's no seating and no drinks sold in the bakery. We enjoyed eating in the car and looking at the folks car next to us, eating and smiling away...
Highly recommended and definitely worth the drive out of town!!

Boulangerie Jin is situated in the middle of nowhere, but offers a tight range of breads, but of amazing taste and quality. Visit and enjoy

Delicious pastries, friendly service, well worth going out of my way

Well Worth a drive out from the resorts to taste some of these world class baked treats! Go early to avoid disapointment!

Gem in a pretty random location. Loved the croissant and potato bread.

amazing

Very fresh pastry and bread which change every day. Highly recommended

If you’re here you know your bread. I mean the fact that this place even exists should tell you enough.

Stunning world class croissants and pain Au chocolate

Our favorite place to come the last 7 years

My favourite bakery 🤩

北海道ではたくさん美味しい物を食べました
その中で一番感動したのが海鮮丼でもジンギスカンでもスープカレーでも無くこちらのパンです
クロワッサンを食べた瞬間、こんなに美味しいパンが存在するのか！と衝撃が走りました
個人的には日本一美味しいパン屋だと思います！

本当にこんな所にパン屋があるのか？と不安になりながら走っていると、突如現れたおしゃれな外観。クロワッサンもハード系パンもこれまで食べたパンの中でも1番！と感じるくらい美味しかったです。

こちらのお店には何度かトライした事があったけど、事前調査不足でお休みだったり、完売してたりでふられ続けてたけど、この度やっとめぐり逢えました✨
緑が多くのどかな所にあるお店ですが、外観は景色にとてもマッチしていて、かっこかわいいお店です！

入店は1組ずつの入場制限がある小さな可愛らしいお店で、中に入るとシンプルな棚は小麦の香り豊かなPain de mieや、存在感溢れるハード系のパン達がずっしり鎮座してました😍
全種食べてみたいけど、美味しいうちに食べられる分だけ購入しました❗
食べるのが楽しみ〜😋
