A Must-Visit Roadside Station with Guaranteed Lines—Enjoy Local Gourmet Lunch
About this spot
A large roadside station near Ensan Expressway's Joso Interchange. It's famous for melon bread using Ibaraki's signature melon and dried sweet potato sweets, and lines have been endless since its opening. The food court serves local-ingredient bowls and ramen, while the farm produce direct-sales shop is a treasure trove of vegetables and fruits. Perfect for a family lunch break.
Tips
The food court gets crowded during lunch hours, so secure your seating first before ordering. The famous melon bread can sell out, so buying it early is a safe bet.
Best time to visit
Allow 1 to 1.5 hours. Expect lines around noon.
