                                                                                                                                                                                The way I heard it, "if Hasegawa's doesn't have it, you don't need it." Perhaps so, the store is amazing in the number of things it carries. Think of a Wal*Mart Super Store in a closet, that's a good comparison to Hasegawa's. You will find a mention of the store in every tourist guide about Hana, and they even had a song written about them.

The store was originally built in 1910, next to their existing gas station, by two Hasegawa brothers. It soon became a community staple. The original store burned to the ground in 1990 also destroying the gas station. The family renovated the former home of the Hana movie theatre and reopened a general store there in 1991. That is the store we saw when we visited.

Plans are in the works at this time to rebuild on the original store site. Three generations of Hasegawa's work in the store today.
