A roadside station where local specialties of Nakagawa Town gather. The restaurant offers hand-made soba noodles and set meals using local ingredients. The gelato from the attached ice cream shop is renowned for seasonal flavors such as strawberry. The farm shop displays freshly picked vegetables and processed foods, making it perfect for a rest stop during your drive.
Tips
The restaurant tends to get busy around noon, and hand-made soba sells out once supplies run out, so it's best to arrive early. Save the famous gelato as a treat for after your meal.
Best time to visit
For lunch, arriving before noon ensures seating without waiting.
